description Latin American population has migrated to cities transforming to urban the currently population, resulting in a large concentration of people and a decrease in the living standard of them due to the difficulties of accessibility and mobility. Moreover, the lack of quality comprehensive strategies implemented by the government, have encourage the use of vehicles as a solution to this problem. Making not only the mobility problems clear but also the increase in the pollution produced by the harmful emissions coming from vehicles; it is considered a conceptual, formal, and functional design of a human-powered vehicle as a proposal of urban mobility, therefore with no polluting emissions. The development of the project initially states an analysis of the urban mobility problem as a preamble, and regard for the development of conceptual proposals of design that through a matrix of alternatives allows the selection of the alternative that fulfills the requirements of design and the previously identified expectations in the potential customers for this type of vehicles. Once defined the conceptual design of the vehicle subsequently it is made its model, and the analysis to the aerodynamics and structure is also done with assisted tools by computer. The validation through the software, CAD, allows that the selected model will be optimized until obtaining a specific model that allows its prototyping. The result of the investigation allows having the starting point for the development of an eco sustainable urban mobility strategy which will be attractive to users, letting a subsequent implementation.
