Sammanfattning
This thesis presents the development of a micromobility concept for the year 2030. The purpose of the project was to develop an inspiring and immersive concept. The project was given by Lynk & Co Design, who oversee the designing of cars for Lynk & Co. The micromobility market is growing and is expected to continue to expand. Another trend is that European cities are suggesting different ways to limit the usage of cars in cities. One way of doing so is to limit the possibilities of parking cars in city centers and, or, implementing green zones where car traffic is limited.
The micromobility concept was aimed to have a strong link to Lynk & Co members and enable transport where a car might not be a fit solution in the year 2030. The outcome was an electric scooter which is foldable and can be charged in the trunk of a Lynk & Co car. It enables convenience to the members who, for example, need to park far away from their office or who want to explore a city in a convenient way. It is the perfect choice to travel the first and last mile. The final concept has technical parts and functions which could be possible to manufacture if developed and specified further. The finished concept was developed to inspire further development.
