Third place in 'Cosima 2017', and therefore prize money of 500 euros, goes to the 'Self-Balancing Bike' project by Sahra Eisenkolb, Maike Akermann and Felix Heller from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. With their self-balancing bike, they want to enable the rider to make short stops - such as going to the bakery - without having to look for a parking space: simply get off and get breakfast. The Karlsruhe team would like to equip e-bikes in particular with their microsystem.
