First day of testing of the "proof of concept" prototype for a Kick and Go Scooter with an Auxiliary Wheel Drive.
Specifications of the KickScooter:
Wheel ratio 20.0/17.5; Gear ratio 45/20; Total Multiplication ratio: 2.57/1.00
In the projected Kick-Scooter, an auxiliary wheel is attached at its rear area, on which the user will make ??his impulse, which in turn will be connected to the rear wheel through a simple gear; the differences between the diameters of the gears , the rear wheel and the auxiliary wheel will produce a multiplication of the speed of the scooter with respect to the speed of the user's feet.
