SMART WHEELS WIN iF AWARD

CONCOURSE SMART WHEELS WIN 2019 iF DESIGN AWARD

(Product Design)

SYDNEY, Australia, Monday February 25, 2019.

In recognition for outstanding design and innovation Concourse Golf Smart Wheels have just received a prestigious, globally recognised iF DESIGN AWARD for Product Design.

One of the most significant design awards in the world, only 2 Australian products received iF Awards in 2018. With an estimated 6400 entries worldwide this year, the win is a huge accolade for the Australian owned business recognising the advanced ingenuity applied in development of the Smart Wheels.

The iF DESIGN AWARD follows on from Concourse Golf winning an Australian Good Design Award in 2018 for the Smart Wheels and also recently being featured in Australia by Design on Network 10.

The World’s 1stcompletely self-contained electric wheel set for push buggies, Concourse Golf has pioneered a game changing experience for golfers, cleverly replacing the existing wheels on a push buggy to transform it into an advanced, remote control operated electric powered buggy in seconds.

“We have always pushed design and engineering boundaries to deliver a better experience for the walking golfer. Our technology led design is incredibly advanced, compact and convenient. Adding two completely independent electric-powered wheels to an existing push buggy, intuitively operated by remote control is game changing.” said David MacKay from Concourse Golf.

“Existing motorised golf buggies have too many limitations and inconveniences tied into them. Rather than make small improvements, we began our journey from the ground up to achieve a solution which lets golfers focus on the enjoyment of playing game.”

Proudly designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia, Concourse Smart Wheels are more than a break-through development in the golf category. The Smart Wheels concept effectively ‘reinvents the wheel’ with enormous potential for applications in healthcare, transportation, logistics, and other mobility solutions.

For 65 years, designers and manufacturers have strived to win the internationally recognized iF label for design excellence. The 2019 winners will be celebrated at the iF DESIGN AWARD night at the BMW Welt in Munich on 15 March, 2019.
