Atlas is a high-end scooter designed to give daily commuters confidence in their safety.
Daily commuters face many barriers when integrating micromobility into their commute.
Accidents are frequent on micromobility vehicles.
E-scooters have an accident rate of 2.2 per 10k miles.
Private vehicles only have a rate of 0.1 per 10k miles.
Problem Statement
Micromobility must be convenient and safe enough to ensure consistent use from daily commuters.
