El e-scooter de Atenas

El bull-e proporciona una postura de conducción inclinada hacia adelante, que refleja el diseño de la motocicleta, lo que algunos podrían considerar más genial que el típico scooter urbano. Además de agregar al diseño del scooter, la postura inclinada hacia adelante disminuye la resistencia del aire mientras se conduce, lo que ayuda a aumentar el rango de cada carga.

The e-scooter from Athens
Bull-e was created by the Athens-based designer Nikos Manafis. Starting with a bit of inspiration from café scooters, the goal was to create something more eye-catching. The bull-e provides a lean-forward riding stance, mirroring motorcycle design – what some might consider cooler than the typical urban scooter. In addition to adding to the design of the scooter, the lean-forward stance decreases the air drag while riding, which helps to increase the range of each charge.
Bull-e’s design
This electric scooter is made up of fiberglass and includes grip to the rider’s knees along with a decent amount of storage which urbanites may find essential for their commutes. In the expandable storage compartment, riders will find both a toolbox and a glove box. Beyond the versatile storage compartment, bull-e comes fitted with integrated and retractable cup holders – a good solution for those morning coffee runs. To satisfy the needs of urban riders, the design of this scooter seems to be both practical while still maintaining a necessary level of utility.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
