Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigated the status of the elderly population as well as the elderly market potential in china, and analyzed the importance of universal design on elderly electric scooters. We designed an elderly electric scooter under the guidance of universal design concept and ergonomics. Its wheelchair styling is a breakthrough which distinguishes it from the traditional electric scooter. The new scooter is safer, more fashionable and space-saving. We expect that the universal electric scooter can benefit the elderly and make the whole society concentrate on the old group.
