We're excited to bring you this interview with Carson Brown, cofounder of Londonbased TAUR Scooters, which is building one of the bestdesigned and coolestlooking scooters we've seen on the market. It’s an excellent discussion about the role of design in micro and why these new vehicles reflect the culture and environment that they’re designed in. We really hope that you enjoy it.
Specifically they dig into:
Carson's background working on electric unicycles
Why they decided to chase after personally owned scooters
The importance of design in owned objects
What does their development process look like, and what were the design decisions they had to weigh up.
How they thought about the TAUR brand from the get go.
How they think about the 'hard' part of being in hardware, and what they're facing as a company when getting into production
How they're thinking about support and maintenance
The irony of designing one of the most innovative personally owned scooters in a market (the UK) where ownership is banned.
His long term aspirations for TAUR.
