Stream 020513
------------------------------------------------
The idea: all existing means of transport of people around town are not good. Why ?

Public transport: run only on certain places and it does not correspond with your needs.
Car: in 60% of cases only one person is sitting in a car. It is really necessary to transport your + -100 kg weight by a vehicle of a weight over 1000 kg?
Taxi: once effective, but for everyday use too expensive.
Motorcycle / scooter: don´t protect the crew in any collision, nor from the weather. Sitting on motorbike or bike in a heavy snow or rain is what a masochist would do.
Cycling: same as talking about the bike plus not everyone has got the sufficient physique condition. Moreover a sweaty cyclist is definitely not a suitable partner eg. for business meetings or sitting at the table.
Walk: is indeed beneficial to your health, but for longer distances it is desperately slow.

Result: The city needs something small, inexpensive, safe, usable, suitable for two people, maximum. With a speed of 50 km / h, the luggage compartment, and also, if possible, simultaneously both: to be practical and elegant.

Solution: because of my long-term work around the design, ergonomy and also a big interest in construction of road vehicles, I came with Rex Stream, which meets the above requirements. My solution is not particularly groundbreaking (more or less the same thing significant carmakers attempted before and after WWII), but thanks to the advance in technology, we are able to implement this solution much more effectively.

Rex Stream project was born in my head in the summer of 2003 when I almost had an accident on motorcycle, I reaized that two wheels are little for stability especially when raining. Then I was inspired by Velorex (hence the name Rex) and I started to think and sketch and draw (The figure at the beginning of the first draft design was drawn on the bill in a pub in Krumlov) I started to cooperate with my brother - engineer, designer of road motor vehicles. We started counting, drawing, making simulations on a computer, building dynamic models. For project we (externally) also get other top experts in various specialized parts of design and implementation. Small batch production allows us to meet individual customer requests for equipment or configuration.

The original plan was to produce something small, cheap and suitable for transport around town. It should have a specification of a bicycle with an auxiliary engine (with an output of less than 1.5kW). Eventually, the idea has grown and it began inspire other variants. Another impetus was a great interest of people with a physical handicap (mostly acquired due to a motorcycle accident). For them we especially designed HCS.
