Using the paper overlay method, I sketched the bike’s overall form and size, referencing measurements from average kids’ bikes for accuracy.
I built a full-scale cardboard prototype to evaluate the proportions and physical presence of the design. This helped me refine the dimensions and ensure it would fit my demographic.
After 3D printing a 1/4-scale model of Moveme, I added color to better visualize the final look and bring the concept closer to a realistic preview.
