My ambition for this project was to design a product to challenge the conventional golf buggy. Traditional golf buggies have remained unchanged for decades, and their 2- or 4-person layout does not promote an efficient pace of play. This often leads to slower games and reduces the overall enjoyment of the sport. Additionally, the current design of golf buggies does not appeal to younger audiences, who may find the game less engaging due to its slower pace and the lack of modern, innovative equipment.

To address these issues, I set out to design a single rider electric moped golf buggy. The goal was to create a vehicle that not only enhances the pace of play but also attracts a younger demographic to the sport by making it quicker and more entertaining. The single rider configuration promotes faster pace of play by allowing individual golfers to move directly to their balls without waiting for others.

The moped is aimed at fleet sales to golf courses who will then rent them to golfers. This provided further design challenges as the moped had to be robust enough to endure repetitive rental usage and suitable for riders of different sizes.
