Project Summary

In today’s urban environments, transportation can be difficult: there is traffic on roadways, public transportation can be cumbersome, and walking can be strenuous. To combat transportation complications, many personal transportation vehicles are emerging in the market such as electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards. The problem with these solutions is that not all users are physically able to ride them due to a lack of stability and safety.

STATIC 2.0 is a group of six senior mechanical engineers with a strong focus in structural integrity, vehicle dynamics, and electro-mechanics that has developed an electronically-powered personal urban transportation vehicle that users of all physical capabilities can operate safely. The vehicle, unlike other personal transportation vehicles, offers state-of-the-art stability features while preserving the mobility, ease of use, and speed that its competitors have, in addition to the design’s effective collapsing mechanism.

The project aims to deliver competitive performance, accessibility, and gain revenue by selling the vehicle to individuals. The project is also open to rideshare opportunities from larger companies, offering the vehicle in densely populated areas so that users can rent and ride with ease.

The gross target market is everyone that commutes in urban areas. The high performance metrics such as speed and maneuverability allow users to have an invigorating experience while riding the vehicle. With a key focus on safety and stability, the vehicle expands the available customer base by allowing commuters who are not as physically capable to experience riding personal transportation vehicles, making the daily commute more convenient for everyone.
