Electric Scooter Demo and Education
During October’s Engineers Day at the Tickle College of Engineering at University of Tennessee, Knoxville, LEVER researcher and PhD student Yi Wen, demonstrated the characteristics of an electric scooter and the right (safe) way to ride it to an internal group of graduate students majoring in transportation engineering at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. For most participants, it is their first time riding the electric scooter. After test riding the electric scooter, most participants were satisfied with the riding experience and showed interest to ride it again. “I want to buy my own one, how much does it cost?” One student stayed and asked the question after the event.
We want to thank Lime for the courtesy of providing the electric scooter for this demonstration and education opportunity.
