About Scotsman Skotera Elektrika

Ny Scotsman dia skotera elektrika natao ho an'ny fitanterana an-tanàn-dehibe manokana sy mahomby. Ny fanamboarana iray manontolo dia vita amin'ny fanontam-pirinty 3D indray mandeha avy amin'ny akora fibra karbaona thermoplastika, ao anatin'izany ny fitantanana, ny tahony, ny forka, ny lelafitra, ny suspension ary ny toeram-bateria. Misy resaka ravin-tsoavaly fibra karbaona iray izay mandray ny fikorontanana tsy misy ampahany matevina na tariby ivelany. Ny Scotsman dia milanja 20 kilao ary mahatratra elanelana lehibe indrindra 70 kilaometatra. Misy takelaka LCD mampiseho ny haavon'ny bateria, ny hafainganam-pandeha, ny fomba fitondrana ary ny fitarihana. Ny fanamboarana maivana sy tambatra dia mampifandray ny herin'ny habe feno amin'ny fitondrana mora foana.

Unique Properties
Scotsman is the first scooter with a frame 3D printed from carbon fiber composite, resulting in a strong, light, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing structure. Scotsman pushes the boundary of what can be fit in a scooter: a carbon fiber leaf spring shock absorption system and smart features are integrated for a smooth and convenient ride without bulky systems or external cables. Thanks to a lighter, integrated frame, Scotsman can offer longer range, higher uphill power (than scooters with the same motors and battery) while remaining robust and easy to carry.
Dimensions & Packaging
Power: 2000W (or 1000W) dual motors.
Weight: 20kg.
Battery: 700Wh.
Max range: 70km.
Top speed: 73km/h (or 50km/h on 1000W model).
Max hill grade: 50% - 27 degree (or 35% - 20 degree on 1000W model)

Production Technology
Scotsman’s entire frame is crafted from thermoplastic carbon fiber composite, including its handlebar, stem, fork, baseboard, suspension, battery bay, and other support structures. As a result, Scotsman is a large, full sized scooter with the power of high performance electric vehicles, yet is as light and portable as smaller, lower power scooters. The frame is 3D printed in a single pass for a streamlined design, but also designed for a seamless integration with the smart features.
Design Challenge
Each of Scotsman’s elements were thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with each other, resulting in a cohesive, streamlined design. One of the biggest challenges was to define the appealing elements, such as the curve in the back wheel, the integrated light, and the creases on the handlebar, each of which required a balance between feasibility, aesthetics, and function. These features are all unique to Scotsman’s 3D printing manufacturing process.
Research
The existing escooter market is dominated by familiar, existing components. When we developed the Scotsman, we invested heavily into making all of its components feel integrated. The result is a scooter without compromise: one with a long range that is also lightweight and fast; a robust ride that is also aesthetically pleasing, foldable and easy to carry.
Inspiration
The global pandemic sent people searching for private, convenient, and environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Yet most existing scooters are either large and bulky or light and flimsy, limited by weak power and short range. Scotsman provided the elusive answer: a green mode of transportation that does not compromise power, range, portability or aesthetics.
Project Duration
Scotsman was launched through a 3 month crowdfunding campaign that began in May of 2021 and completed in August of 2021 with 600,000 US dollars raised.
Operation Flow
Scotsman can auto lock and unlock when its owner approaches or walks away, thanks to a Bluetooth connection to the Scotsman app. A handlebar mounted ultra wide angle 1080p dashcam can capture photos mid ride or couple with GPS to help an owner to locate their scooter. The LCD panel displays battery level, speed, riding mode, turn by turn navigation, distance traveled, and distance remaining. The app also lets an owner set maximum speed and select a riding mode.
