First Prize: Transportation
Scooter With In-Wheel Engine

Featuring an in-wheel electric motor--which helps reduce emissions and frees up space, allowing for a lighter, more efficient frame--the design for an eco-friendly Movito scooter won Tai Chiem of Melbourne, Australia (like all first-place winners) a computer.

Designed for short trips, Movito uses an electric motor currently employed in solar-powered racing cars.

Announced March 10, 2009, the Create the Future contest winners were chosen by an independent panel of design engineers and managers.
