Transforming Electric Unicycles with Custom Fairing Systems

The concept was straightforward: liberate Electric Unicycle riders from monotonous single-color options by offering limitless customization possibilities. Collaborating closely with industry giants like Inmotion, Kingsong, and Begode, alongside esteemed distributor EUCO, I spearheaded the design and production of custom fairing systems. Extensive research, including surveys and expert interviews, validated the viability of our vision. Through a meticulous process spanning over a year, I navigated the realms of design, engineering, manufacturing, and marketing. I look forward to launching this product in Spring 2024.‍

3D Scanning: From Physical to Digital

Crafting fairing systems entails precision and focus. I employ 3D scanning to meticulously capture the wheel's contours, a process demanding patience and keen attention to detail. Prior to scanning, the wheel undergoes disassembly and preparation, including the application of anti-reflective coating. With professional-grade 3D scanners, we transform these intricate details into digital reality.

Designing the Fairing System:

Harnessing a suite of tools like Blender, Fusion 360, and SolidWorks, I embark on crafting the fairing system. Transforming raw 3D scan data, I refine, smooth, and thicken it to the required specifications. Each section is meticulously designed for seamless integration, ensuring effortless installation onto the wheel while maintaining the desired aesthetic.

3D Printing the Parts: 

Upon finalizing the fairing system design, every component undergoes precision 3D printing using Carbon Fiber-infused filament. Exterior shells retain their natural finish, while interior shells receive vibrant paint or wraps, offering a spectrum of color choices. Leveraging a network of FDM 3D printers, each part is meticulously crafted to uphold durability and aesthetic appeal.‍
