Research Through Design Of The Personal Lightweight Mobility For Urban Basis On The Self-balance Technology

"The future Chinese urban transportation system is the combination of large public transport vehicles and small electric cars." said by Zuoxiu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. China nowadays, facing the increasingly pressure of energy, pollution, traffic congestion and other problems, has begun to realize the importance of developing and exploring lightweight electric transportation. At the same time, although there is a certain gap in this field between China and aboard in terms of the level of technology and industrialization, but the potential of development and the scale of the market is huge.Today, the domestic personal electric transportation market based on self-balancing technology platform is in its infancy and the form, functionality and experience of most of existing products are lack of diversity and service system is not yet mature. It is still need a long time to gain the market prosperous and the social recognition.This paper describes the design and research on the city lightweight personal vehicle, through innovative researches on its experience and services proposed new product concept based on the self-balancing technology platform.The paper applies problem-oriented methodology, firstly clarify the historical background and the development tendency related to the products, and discuss the possibility of upgrading the Chinese domestic industry through design innovation upon the situation of the market. Second proceeding from three aspects-product design, experience design and commercial design-deeply explore the design methods based on self-balancing technology platform, and propose integrated innovative design principles towards form, user experience and service through the ways of natural similarity, behavior similarity and culture similarity. The author via design iterations and verification of4model designs, finally proposed maturity of the design concept, and successful push the products onto the track of commercialization.
