Thinking of a quality solution to fix a lack of e-scooter drivers wearing helmets and take the necessary precautions so that they can avoid getting injured. A problem we have faced is finding a cheap and affordable solution to resolving our problems. We solved these problems by searching the web for low priced and innovative solutions for the problem of lack of helmet usage. We later found a durable and flexible helmet, compact, and easily stored. We will test and survey this product in the westwood area .

We met with the faculty and they liked our ideas and told us to reach out to a windward alumni who is high up in bird operations. We then realized that bird scooters give out free helmets, and decided to pursue a form of inflatable and folding helmets, because the helmets aren't the problem, carrying them are. We are ordering a folding helmet, and are investigating inflatable helmets, and going to interview people about it. We pursued the foldable helmets and that is a very safe and mobile idea. It folds and is very easily transportable, it will reduce injury rates, and make the city safer.We met with the faculty and they liked our ideas and told us to reach out to a windward alumni who is high up in bird operations.

Over the last week my team has identified a problem that were are making an attempt to fix. That problem is people injuring them self on E-scooters like, Birds,Limes,and Jumps. Even though it’s against the law to be under 18 and not wear a helmet on an E-scooter many people do because no one is enforcing it, and end up having head injuries. We identified this problem because these scooters are in are community and people are affected by them everyday. A solution my group is considering is creating an app that requires a person under 18 to take a photo of themselves wearing a helmet to unlock a E-scooter. Another idea we had was to create a helmet that could fold up and easily be stored on the scooter to allow people not to bring a helmet to ride an E-scooter. E-scooter companies are identifying these problems and have sent free helmets to people so they can ride safely. The problem with this is that helmets need to be easy to access when someone wants to use an E-scooters at a convenient time. This is why we thought it would be a good idea if helmets came with the scooters and people didn't have to bring them wherever they go.
