the product opportunity gap
We've uncovered a unique opportunity within the overlooked niche that lies between the commitment of full-size cargo and the limitations of a simple basket.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Must weigh 1kg at most.
Must fold in half.
Must be secure to the bike.
Must not interfere with the maneuverability of the bike.
Must fit a variety of items.
STRESS TESTING
Through the use of stress tests, we were able to iterate on our model to better support the weight.
We got a safety factor of 15 almost 8 times higher than the minimum grade.
THROUGH OUR ITERATIVE PROCESS WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUR PRODUCT 78% LIGHTER
ITERATIVE PROCESS
The prototyping and testing stages of the design process is what we used most of our time on
