Pollution and parking are possibly two major problems of urban areas all over the world. Making the cities a better place to live in, the designer will then have the idea to will do a portable electric scooter that provides safe and sustainable commutation in urban areas, called that “Skoota”
Skoota is a compact urban electric scooter used for intermodality and urban travel. Skoota utilizes the latest Super Charging Lithium Ion technologies and an in-wheel brushless hub motor to provide an eco drive for riders between 20-35 years old. Ideal for short distances, the electric scooter uses a central compacting interface to reduce its size with five simple steps, so it could be moved within the living or workspace with minimum fuss.
Skoota using a unique "K" shaped frame made in powder coated die-cast aircraft grade aluminum, the Skoota is not only light in weight (about 20 kg) but also ensures durability. Running on small red highlighted 12.5″ wheels, the scooter also features lights on either side of the handle bars, together with a curved rear tail light and front LED headlight, while functions are kept simple with only two buttons, power and headlight. The handlebar height, seat height and wheel base of the scooter are similar to a standard 24″ electric bicycle. Other than lithium batteries, the Skoota also harnesses solar power for an entirely sustainable ride, reducing the carbon footprint of the users.
