Research on structure design of scooter for children based on human factors

Scooter is a small toy which is driven by users' feet. It's popular among children at different ages. We should take human factors into account during design process. The sizes of scooter must adapt to those of a certain age group of children. In this paper we put forward a methodology on structure design based on human factors, then we build a three dimensional parametric model of a scooter for ergonomic analysis. The parameters of scooters are determined according to the knowledge of anthropometry.
