Exhibit Schedule – November 1, 2021 – March 24, 2021

Exhibit Space – CEIS Vitrine

In the middle of the spring semester, 2020 just as COVID restrictions began, the TIMO E-Scooter project neared the completion it’s second semester and was therefore halted. The process would have included designing and showing an exhibit. It is extremely gratifying that the exhibit has now been completed and is on display in the vitrine of the CEIS Building, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston

The TIMO group comprised 4 students from the industrial Design program.

The brief was to examine and re-think the notion of city based transportation in terms of clean technologies, specific and variable demographics, lack of choices, user/rider safety, available personal time and escalating costs. The study resulted in the design of a range of three TIMO electric scooter presets - Jarretto, Veloce and Cavallo. Built on a modular system the stakeholder can configure a final product to perfectly accommodate their specific individual needs.

The exhibit describes the development of an extremely well executed project by students (seniors) of the Industrial Design Department. The fundamental aim is to demonstrate the level of contemplative depth and detail necessary to create and describe a dynamic new product concept.

On display are various components of the students’ work which include research, mockups that help inform ergonomic considerations, iterative physical models, detailed specifications for each model, accessories, and ultimately sales website design.
