Date: February 8, 2018
Time: 2:00 – 2:30 pm
Location: Mason Hall 227
Team Members Present: Annie, Aaron
Interviewed: Paul Reeder
Meeting Objectives:
- Discuss 2nd round Prototypes from a business perspective
Meeting Notes:
- Doesn’t feel like a handle to the user
- should be a an adaptive device not integrated
- ~15 inches out from the handlebars?
- measure widest shoulder width
- look at bike regulations on how close a car can get to a bike.
- go to bike shop – to buy bike LED (white light that can turn red)
- strobe light important (easy to see during day time)
- think about making more ergonomic grip for handlebar (create a palm pad)
- Embed in grip – can hide things under it
- Supply to lime/bird to retro-fit after they receive the scooters
- Make extension so that it doesn’t feel or look like it should be held onto
- So it doesn’t break off
- Try to stay away from electrical as much as possible
- Idea: when you start riding, manually pop out signals and keep there for entire time while riding, them push button to turn the lights on (strobing)
Mechanical priorities:
- should be robust enough to not break when pulled on
- Address if the scooter falls when turn signal is extended.
