Jury Statement

The awarded entries this year pushed boundaries to achieve satisfying results through thoughtful ideation, engineering, and manufacturing, focusing on enhanced user experience and sustainability. This creates a solid foundation for the industry’s hoped-for recovery. Folding bikes have existed for decades but are often cumbersome to fold and lack cohesion once folded. Aniwow introduces a new folding approach that achieves an exceptionally neat and compact result, likely among the most refined on the market. While the folding process involves slightly more steps than average, it remains reasonable, and with practice becomes natural and intuitive. There is still room for refinement, but the product shows strong potential to become a recognizable and distinctive solution. Finally, eliminating the need for a table further reinforces its practicality.
