Enter Crüscooter

So for the 2.007 (MIT Design and Manufacturing I) Electric Vehicle Special Section I am building an electric scooter, because I live kind of far away and my current scooter just isn't fast enough.

Her name is Crüscooter, because it has Crüse Control 4 Cool. Basically, it can be operated by only kicking and braking like a regular Razor Scooter, and will maintain the speed you bring it to with a cruise control system. It will have an accelerator as well for overriding the velocity as well as riding it like a regular Electric Scooter.

Here's some initial Solidworks screenies:




A few weeks into the class already, I've gotten the basic dimensions down and decided to go with two batteries instead of three for 26.4V and a gear ratio of 72/14 (~5.14).

Here's a side view of the power train from the top.

Brake mechanism from the port side.

More detailed specs, finished solid model, and assembly pictures to come!

  1. Your article is clever and I like you offering it to us. Because of your post, I acquired a great deal of data that I will give to my loved ones. In case you're keen on figuring out how to test click speed, I prescribe you to go to the Online mouse clicker counter profile. Take the click speed test online to perceive how quick you can click.
