Project Goal
The goal of this project is to get more people to start cycling for urban transport.
Problem S tatement
Bicycles are one of the key elements for entering a sustainable future. However, compared to other advanced countries, the American bicycle culture is small. In 2009, only 4% of daily trips were made on bicycles in America. Because of the huge car culture and the commuting pattern, bicycles have been perceived as a method of exercise rather than a form of transportation that can help people get where they need to go.
Hypothesis
In the U.S., if a design can renew womens perception of bicycling and improve their cycling experience, then,In the U.S., People will be more likely to use bicycles for transportation and the American bicycle culture will expand.
Target User
Non-bicyclists Female users Living and Working in Metropolitan areas Living alone Living in a small studio
User Persona

Users like the crank and folding Pedal design and they should be used on the final design. Folding handlebar idea is interesting but it looks a little bulky. Users can accept the reasons that crankless wont work in reality.
Testing Results
Stage 3
Crankless design will hit some taller barriers while riding. While test walking the mockup, it hit the curb several times Crankless design created some safety concerns, so I will change back to the design with crank and hollow sprocket.

Criteria
Lightweight, high impact strength, Paintable,
Manufacturing Process
Verton composites compounds can be successfully molded on most injection compression molding machines. Since the unique properties available from Verton composites result from the length of the fibers and the reinforcing framework they form, attrition during processing is detrimental to part performance. Because of the length of Verton composite pellets (approximately 12 mm), bridging may be a problem in machines with small (less than 30 mm) feed throats. A free flow screw tip is highly recommended to obtain the full spectrum of properties.Furthermore it is important that the tool steels for cavity and core are hardened to 50-54 Rc.
Design Considerations
Uniform wall thickness (0.1~0.25) Add ribs Wall transition design - preferred design approximately 3:1 ratio Increase section properties (Use Ibeams, ribbed U-sections, hollow sections) No sharp corners (less stress concentrations) All part walls should have 2 -3 degree draft per side.
Material
LNP Verton Compound RV00CE (Long Glass Fiber Composite) LNP VERTON* RV00CE is a compound based on Nylon 66 resin containing Long Glass. Added features of this material include: Easy Molding. Features: Lightweight, Hight impact strength and stiffness, Good surface quality Application: Automotive (Structure, Body Panels, Bumper), Furniture
Body Panels

Criteria
Lightweight, high impact strength,durable,
Manufacturing Process (Magnesium Injection Molding)

Magnesium injection molding (MAG) produces components with attributes that include superb quality, high repeatability, dimensional precision, and design flexibility. The magnesium injection molding process is similar to plastic injection molding, with mechanical properties equivalent to or better than die-cast components.
Design Considerations
Uniform wall thickness Add ribs (obtain maximum strength) Avoid sharp corner Draft (1 degree)
Material
Magnesium Alloy Products made with Magnesium are lightweight, strong, environmentally, recyclable, and beneficial in conserving energy
