Comprehensive Analysis of Electric Scooters: Investigating Challenges, Failures And Component Optimization for Enhanced Urban Mobility.

Samuel Edet Bassey

Abstract


Renewable energy, a global topic of discussion, has made significant strides in preserving our ecosystem. Environmental pollution stands as a critical issue, necessitating proactive measures for mitigation. The emergence of electric scooters represents a positive step towards environmental conservation; however, their acceptance as urban mobility vehicles is hindered by safety apprehensions. This research delves into e-scooter design, aiming to enhance productivity and address challenges. By identifying accidents and operational failures, underlying factors are pinpointed to facilitate enhancements. A mathematical model is constructed and examined using MATLAB for comprehensive analysis.
