Scooter Rain Cover
| Challenge: |
Tetra received a request from a gentleman who used his three-wheeled
scooter for transportation around his neighbourhood and to the local
mall. When it rained he had to wear a heavy and cumbersome raincoat. He
wanted something light and practical that would keep him dry but at the
same time increase his mobility in inclement weather.
|
| Solution: |
In answer to this request, a volunteer built a structure using PVC
pipes. The structure is installed and removed from the scooter by means
of four aluminum fittings permanently attached to the scooter.
Polyethylene sheets were cut to fit the pipe structure and attached with
Velcro straps, creating an effective rain canopy.
