Modular Scooter Kit With Steering Assemblies For Play Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric skateboards primarily serve as light transportation tools and fail to meet the entertainment needs of users, lacking versatility in play modes.
Innovation Solution
A kit for a scooter that includes a deck assembly, first and second steering assemblies, a driven wheel assembly, and a connecting device that allows for the attachment of a power wheel assembly, enabling surfing simulation experiences and expanding play modes through steering functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a power wheel assembly is added to the kit, then the scooter gains driving power and surfing simulation capability, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The scooter is divided into separate modular components: a kit containing the deck assembly, steering assemblies, and driven wheel assembly, and a power wheel assembly that can be independently attached. This segmentation allows the scooter to be configured in different play modes (three-wheel surfing simulation or four-wheel configuration) while maintaining relatively simple individual components.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting device is designed with universal functionality to accommodate different power wheel assemblies and enable multiple play modes. The same connecting device can support both three-wheel surfing simulation mode and four-wheel configuration, allowing one component to serve multiple functions and reduce overall device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If steering assemblies are added to the kit, then the scooter gains steering functionality for extreme sports, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The steering system is segmented into separate first and second steering assemblies that can be independently attached to the deck assembly. Each steering assembly is a modular unit that can be configured according to different playing needs, allowing the scooter to adapt to both extreme sports and light transportation without requiring a completely different steering mechanism for each mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The steering assemblies are designed with dynamic characteristics that allow them to rotate relative to the deck assembly. This rotational capability enables the steering system to adapt to different playing modes and extreme sports maneuvers while maintaining a relatively simple structure, as the same basic steering mechanism can handle various operational requirements through its dynamic movement.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the scooter is designed for surfing simulation with three or four wheels, then the entertainment value increases, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The scooter is segmented into a kit and a power wheel assembly that can be separately purchased and assembled. This segmentation simplifies the operation for users by allowing them to start with the basic kit and only add the power wheel assembly when needed, reducing the initial complexity and making the scooter easier to operate for beginners while still enabling advanced play modes for experienced users.
