Ideas can come from almost anywhere. This particular one came as I was developing an evolution of the current scooter design. In developing the future accessory line for future scooter the idea of merging some of those ideas into the current design was integrated. After a few concept revisions and a 3D printer, the prototype was ready to roll in less than a month. Just in time to make the shoot for the next issue of Kingdom Golf magazine. Production, in one more month after that.
Making it your own: Custom vinyl for some custom scooters
The same customer who couldn’t live without his tunes on his scooters couldn’t resist going a bit further to make his scooters his own. We settled on matching color vinyl decals for his 3 personal scooters along with designs reflecting his personal initials/logo as well as some for his television character. Needless to say he was very happy with how they turned out.
🎶 When you just gotta have your music
With the scooter venture slowly growing so has the need for accessories for the consumer market. A new segment I’ve never worked in before so it was time to jump in with both feet without looking. The combination of in-house design, 3D printing and testing allows for a smoother and near perfect fit when bringing these ideas to a reality.
This particular speaker bracket assembly was developed for a star of TV’s S.W.A.T. who bought 10 scooters for himself and his friends and wanted to make sure that everyone also had tunes on the go. After a few initial designs and prototypes, a final design was decided upon, custom made and that I personally installed. A big thank you to Kimash Metal for another great assist on the fabrication end of the dream.
Skooza: a new use for some new scooter technology
I have always been fascinated by the idea of future transportation alternatives. When a friend came over to my shop riding his new electric scooter from an emerging venture he was involved with, I knew I had to get in on the project.
The first stop was to bring this scooter into the golf market. Initially experimenting with mounting options for accessories in general, in our garage, we cut, welded and mocked up several ideas. This led a decision on an all aluminum construction merging tubing and cast aluminum components. Firing up the 3D printer to create master pieces for tooling and a foundry I once worked heavily with to handle the construction, we hit the mark.
