Today we were assigned to work in a group and generate some ideas for a design for an eco friendly mode of transport. We were asked to follow the ideas of The Laws of Simplicity and work as a group to come up with a design, concept & name.
In trying to come up with a eco friendly mode of transport we thought of all the things that came into our head when we thought of 'ECO TRANSPORT'.... We came up with:
- Electric
- Small
- Bicycle
- Skates
- Roller Shoes
- Segway
- Solar Power
- Kangaroo Boots
In the end we liked the idea of a solar powered segway type mode of transport. Below is a video on how a segway works....

The name was the most difficult idea to come up with. We came up with a few names like 'Ecoway', 'Green Way'. It was hard because we wanted to come up with something that wasnt over used like "ECO" (which seems to be extremely over used) but we had to let people know that it was a green way to travel without sounding cliche.
This is a sketch of my design....
Good start but a bit sketchy in the PRACTICAL area....
