Lagos is generally considered as Nigerias commercial capital with an estimated population of over 10 million people.

In October of 2020, Nigerian youth took to the streets of Lagos and other Nigerian  cities to protest against police brutality.

These, along many other factors make traffic a major problem... Even so in a protest where major roads are blocked.

The problem here is mobility.

I tested my hypothesis with a small sample size and also looked at similar products that offered similar services.

At this point, it is right to note that; this product was designed as part of a class project with very little research done.

A lot of assumptions were made and real world application of the product based on these assumptions may yield varying results by a significant margin. However, in the case where research and proper datas are taken, this model could easily be modified to serve the alternate purpose.

I curated as many ideas as possible and carefully sifted through the rubble to find the ones that best solve the problem.

I think that if we make rental electric scooters available, protesters and anyone really, could easily glide their way through traffic from bus-stop to bus-stop.

Why scooters?

Well, simply put, it boils down to three things; they are light, manoeuvrable and easy to use

Electric; means they are eco friendly

A simple user journey from launch to booking a scooter ride for a new user

I went minimalist keeping things as plain and clear as possible so that no data or information is lost or misinterpreted

Challenge(s)—I realised that inner streets and small neighbourhoods  especially in this part of the globe are not properly mapped, hence navigation and proper tracking can be harder than necessary.

I tested the design(prototype) with friends and a few other random people. The users were able to complete basic tasks like create an account and request a ride etc. 

Generally, we got lots of positive feedback and if we build it out, we have a chance at delivering a truly useful product.
