WHAT: The main reason that students have a problem with bringing their scooters in themselves is that it is time consuming. The act is not necessarily difficult or tiring, but it can be time consuming. Waiting for you scooter to return is also an issue. Repairs where the scooter is makes the process more simple for the customer. The people who may lie outside the boundary may find the need to be transportation though, but this was not usually the case.
WHY: For those inside the boundary, this issue is important because it saves them time in transportation and with the availability of their scooter. Those outside the boundary may simply find transporting their scooter to the repair store a hassle.

INSIDE THE BOUNDARY
|
OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY
|
|
Who: Those who find the time without their scooter to be inconvenient
|
Who: Those who find the transportation process of their scooter to be
a hassle
|
|
What: Students are without their scooter for days or weeks when it goes
in for repair
|
What: Transportation may take energy that the customer does not want
to exert
|
|
Why: Students have classes multiple days a week and other reasons for
needing transportation. They have to find alternatives when their scooter is
being repaired.
|
Why: Repair shops may be further away than the customer is willing to
travel. The customer may rather the repair come to them.

Riley,
ReplyDeleteI definitely fall into the category of a supporter of this idea. My scooter broke last semester and my choices were to somehow get it to a repair place, or have someone come pick it up in a trailer at an additional cost. I would have been very happy to have someone come fix it for me. It is good because I would have never not been in possession of the scooter, and I could have seen what was happening every step of the way.
Hi Riley,
ReplyDeleteI found your post to be very informative and really tested the boundaries of your product. Scooter's are extremely popular among students at the university of Florida and because of this there is quite a large market for your product. Students need a form of transportation to get to class and scooters are the most popular form among students. I think you have found an excellent product and opportunity here.

ReplyDeleteHey Riley, I feel that you present your idea quite well and organized it nicely. This is a good point to target at the University of Florida since it's overly crowded with scooters. alot of students have scooters at this university for the convenience of getting on and off campus and parking. I think this is a great post overall.
ReplyDeleteI like how relatable this was (just to me, perhaps) because it made it easier to understand how it'd work and who would benefit from it. I think your assessments from inside and outside of the boundary were also very in depth and helped paint a full picture of the unmet need and what more you have to research and discover about your idea. I think it is only going up from here and I see it being very successful!
