Designing a Dream Ride With AutoCAD

I am continually astounded by how design a and innovation can be achieved in our day to day lives. I hope that everyone strives to be a problem solver. Instead of facing a task or near impossible situation and cringing in fear, I hope we can all develop skills or the ability to find skills to solve the problem. If we are able to create new ways to fix problems imagine all the inventions and techniques can be birthed. Of course we will never run out of problems to solve. That is impossible. But, when we are done with one task we may have 50 new ways to create a solution. That is how i wish we could all be.
After spending a summer in New York City I realized that every delivery person seemed to be on an electric bike. With all the advances in battery technology it is considerable easier to make small compact batteries that have the range people are looking for. It’s nice to see a start up like this one that is thinking about every detail and designing bikes for any person. I am definitely not at a point in my Auto CAD carrier where I could draw a 3D rendering of a bike with that kind of detail, the complex mechanisms along with all the organic shapes takes a lot of time and skill to make accurate and feasible. I would be interested to know if they use Auto CAD more for designing the bike or more the technical workings. Hopefully there will come a time where these fancy supped up bikes are crawling all over the city’s of the USA bring people from point a to point b in style.
