The rohm scooter is a compact and versatile electric scooter for city-goers and college students alike.
Ideation began with learning the proportions of motorbikes and scooters. These studies were then followed by several pages of profile sketches.
After initial ideation a 1/8 scale prototype was made to begin experimentation with materials and form.
Further ideation took place after the miniature prototype was manufactured. Pictured are a few personal sketches I used to explore various aspects of the proposed product.
GoRace Christiansburg donated a 50cc scooter for us to use for this project. An existing luggage rack was modified to carry the scooter from the tow hitch of my personal vehicle.
The Scooter was moved inside after the fuel was removed and modifications began on the frame. Modifications included removal of frame rails and additions of wooden supports.
Several final sketches of features, color schemes, and functionality as well as wiring and powertrain considerations.
Work on the full scale prototype began alongside development of elements such as ease of use, charging, and storage considerations, which were all key elements of our proposed product.
This storyboard describes on of the storage solutions posed by the rohm scooter.
The scooter will feature two removable 2000 watt/hr batteries that have a carrying tray.
The rohm scooter (pronounced roam) is named after the electrical unit of resistance known as the ohm.
