We intend to build an electric two-wheel scooter with a 3d printed chassis. The scooter will ride on 4.9” diameter skateboard wheels and the drive shaft will be run by a 12V high torque motor. The scooter will have a contact braking system in which friction slows down the drive wheel. The motor and 12V battery will be hooked to a variable speed controller so as to be able to accelerate the scooter to a desired speed. Depending on the cost, we would like to add an infrared proximity sensor as a means for collision avoidance. The sensor would allow us to compute the distance of objects in front of the scooter and if the rider is approaching an object or person, a speaker on the bottom of the scooter can sound a tone to warn the driver. | We intend to build an electric two-wheel scooter with a 3d printed chassis.

Project Description: We intend to build an electric two-wheel scooter with a 3d printed chassis. The scooter will ride on 4.9” diameter skateboard wheels and the drive shaft will be run by a 12V high torque motor. The scooter will have a contact braking system in which friction slows down the drive wheel. The motor and 12V battery will be hooked to a variable speed controller so as to be able to accelerate the scooter to a desired speed. Depending on the cost, we would like to add an infrared proximity sensor as a means for collision avoidance. The sensor would allow us to compute the distance of objects in front of the scooter and if the rider is approaching an object or person, a speaker on the bottom of the scooter can sound a tone to warn the driver.
