Goals
Our goal is to design and create an automated, motorized stabilization system for Citi Bike. The motivation behind this design is to provide a safer and more feasible ride for those who use Citi Bike as a means of transportation, or may want to but are unable because of injury or disability. With over 60 million total rides, Citi Bike was a viable company to partner with to target an unmet need in today’s society: Handicapped accessible bicycles. In a city like New York, riders will have to stop multiple times for cars, stop lights, stop signs, or something unpredictable. Implementing our design will provide a more stable and stress-free riding experience. As fellow bike enthusiasts, we wish to share the love of bicycle riding with an increasingly broader population.
