Electric based propulsion has been rapidly growing across all forms of transit; providing a clear path to reduced emissions, especially within urban areas where people will most notably benefit. Most recently, personal light electric vehicles have shown great promise in both reducing emissions and downsizing to meet the needs of urbanites. This paper presents the design of a two-wheeled electric scooter for adult transit. The distinct features of the design are: dual motor parallel drive, greatly improved torque, and reliable electric braking. Analysis of the market needs, current product shortcomings, and the goal to overall improve performance all contribute to a more effective scooter design. The design is assessed through real world tests which show promising performance, exceeding the metrics of existing electric scooters in nearly every category. Compared to the prevalent Bird electric scooter, this design improves velocity by 37.5%, climb velocity by 66.7%, and range by 131.6%.
