The electric scooter needed an integrated redesign to improve rider usability, battery protection, thermal management, and brand consistency across its interior and exterior.
This case study covers iMAC Design and Engineering Services' product design work on an electric scooter, covering both interior and exterior components from dashboard layout to battery enclosure engineering.
The project required a full interior and exterior redesign: dashboard component layout, charging port geometry, battery ventilation, mudguard form, seat ergonomics, and a battery enclosure engineered to IP69 standards within the footrest cavity. iMAC handled the end-to-end design scope across all these subsystems.
| Product | Electric Scooter – Interior & Exterior Redesign |
|---|---|
| Industry | Automotive / EV |
| Services | Product Design & Development, CAD Engineering |
| Key Requirement | Battery enclosure designed to meet IP69 standards, brand-integrated charging port |
| Design Scope | Dashboard, mudguard, seat, charging port, battery ventilation |
The brief required a fully integrated design for an electric scooter covering both interior and exterior components to improve functionality, user experience, and brand identity. Key requirements included:
The project presented three distinct design problems, each requiring solutions that worked for function and brand identity simultaneously.
The team designed a square cutout that fully exposes the fast-charging port and incorporates a triangular frame accent aligned with the brand’s logo. This keeps the port fully accessible while making the brand identity legible directly on the hardware.
The team evaluated screen options against the dashboard’s spatial constraints, rider sightline geometry, and the overall visual hierarchy of the cockpit. The selected screen size and orientation fits cleanly within the dashboard area and integrates without visual conflict with the ignition switch and USB port placement.
The mudguard geometry was designed to protect against road debris under varied driving conditions while matching the scooter’s body lines. Shape, material, and finish were considered to align with the vehicle’s overall aesthetic.
The enclosure was designed with appropriate materials and sealing techniques to meet IP69 standards – preventing water and dust ingress. The structural design accounts for compression forces under 3 bar from footrest use. The final enclosure fits within the footrest cavity without affecting the exterior profile.
| Design Area | Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charging port | Square charger, triangular brand logo | Square cutout + triangular frame accent |
| Dashboard screen | Multiple options, constrained area | Evaluated and selected for sightline and layout fit |
| Mudguard | Functional + aesthetic requirements | Geometry and finish matched to body design |
| Battery | IP69 + 3 bar compression, footrest cavity | Sealed construction, appropriate material selection |
| Ignition switch | Driver accessibility | Positioned right-side for intuitive reach |
| Battery cooling | Thermal management during operation | Dedicated venting system within dashboard |
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Battery Enclosure Rating | Designed to meet IP69 standards (water and dust resistance) |
| Compression Resistance | Up to 3 bar |
| Charging Port | Fast-charge compatible, square cutout with triangular brand accent |
| Ignition Switch Position | Right-side dashboard |
| Dashboard Components | USB charging port, ignition switch, cooling vents, display screen |
| Mudguard | Aerodynamic redesign |
| Seat | Ergonomic, accommodates varied body types |
The project reached 100% design development completion, with each challenge resolved through decisions that balanced engineering requirements with brand and aesthetic intent.
The charging port design accommodates the fast-charge hardware within a square cutout while incorporating the brand’s triangular identity directly into the hardware. The dashboard screen selection delivers clear visibility and integrates cohesively within the cockpit layout. The mudguard protects against debris without disrupting the scooter’s visual language. The battery enclosure is designed to meet IP69 standards and withstand 3 bar compression – integrated into the footrest without affecting the exterior geometry.
The result is a complete electric scooter design where functional requirements and brand identity are addressed together across every component.
