An electric scooter is one type of light motorcycle driven by an electric motor and used with small wheels, a low seat, and a fixed shield protecting the driver's legs. Since it can be considered as a constrained workstation for users of different sizes to fit on the same workstation, some ergonomic problems should be taken into consideration when designing an electric scooter. This article presents a case study for illustrating how to apply the anthropometric measurement to develop a new product. The authors propose a two-dimensional anthropometric data collection approach and conduct an anthropometric experiment for scooter riders in Taiwan. Based on the obtained anthropometric data concerning scooter-riding postures, an electric scooter was developed which was the result of a collaborative project for new product development. The developed electric scooter was satisfactory, and resulted in a significant improvement in its appearance and ergonomic performance.
