When DuPont needed to find innovative ways to show the unique capabilities of their advanced materials, they came to 219 Design. The partnership began in early 2018 with a concept generation session and has progressed to the development of a variety of prototypes that showcase many of DuPont’s advanced materials with novel designs.
Electric Micromobility
We converted an off-the-shelf scooter to a solar-charging electric scooter-of-the-future that leverages the benefits of advanced materials like TPSiV® soft grip handlebars, airless Hytrel® tires, and high-performance Zytel® nylon and Delrin® plastic parts. Additionally, a complex wiring harness was replaced with a streamlined Pyralux® flex circuit. These materials gave the scooter unique features, durability, and improved manufacturability.
