Micromobility startup under Ford, where I led industrial design, prototyping, ergonomics research, and experience design.

This is a limited preview. The full project is password protected here due to sensitive proprietary information.

Acheiving the lowest possible center of gravity, a differentiated form inspired by the Tesla Cybertruck with rectilinear elements versus curved elements that exist in most bikes. A single cast skeleton frame running through the entire vehicle optimizing strength, manufacturability, and maintaining a clean design language. Two rider compatibility, discreet cargo mounting rails, a simplified user interface, single input drive system. Features dual motor control with boosted acceleration for two riders, even up the largest San Fransisco hills. Easy battery removal for charging, advanced security functions, self-driving hardware-ready design, and much more.
