EDWARD is an electric diwheel (vehicle with two side-by-side wheels instead of front and back) created by engineering students at the University of Adelaide as both a class project and homage to Star Wars vehicles. Key features include a seat between two independently motorized wheel rings, joystick control of the motors for balance and steering, and capabilities for speeds up to 40km/hr on battery power for around an hour. The document recommends EDWARD as an easy to use, eco-friendly, and adrenaline-inducing option for urban transport.

7.  Inspiration in StarWars
 Construction of a human
operated diwheel
 mechanical design + some of
the electronics was completed
in 2009
 control systems developed in
2010

8.  Pair of motor-driven wheel rings (1 on each side)
 Seat for driver between wheels with 5pointed belts
 EDWARD is pure electric
 Motors in the wheels controlled by a joystick
 Inbuilt dynamic lateral stability and slosh control
 Touch screen panel for settings
 Top speed is about 40km/hr
 Maximum Incline 12 degrees
 Battery life about 1h with aggressive driving style

9.  1st easy to use & really works
 Cool eco-friendly vehicle
 (DWs in the past human powered or powered by IC
engines, this one purely electric)
 Perfect urban transport vehicle
 Adrenalin
