Commuting in big cities is a challenge that’s only getting tougher every day. Many people tend to think getting a car is the solution to their personal commuting problem. Unknown to them, getting a car would only compound an already existing problem. Cars are big. And big cities hardly ever have enough space. This makes cars and urban centers a bad match. It’s evident in the traffic congestion commuters have to fight through every day and the lack of parking space that seems to plague you everywhere you go.
The environmental impact of having too many cars on the road is also massive. Our personal vehicles are a major cause of global warming. Collectively, cars and trucks account for about 20% of all emissions in the United States. It is no surprise, therefore, that innovative solutions in the form of New Mobility Services are being developed.
Solving the commuting problems in more ways than one
The OJO commuter scooter is an electric scooter that hopes to address the known problems associated with the currently available facilities in many ways. For one thing, it’s unlike other electric scooters out there. The OJO electric scooter offers a fine blend of solid range, smart features, and a promise of exhilarating rides. No other scooter has been able to combine all these features in a smart package – one that ensures other commuters take at least a second look anytime you cruise by. It is built to be bike lane friendly, a feature that’s absent in most other scooters.
The electric nature of the scooter means it has zero emissions, as long as you charge it with a renewable energy source. Furthermore, the compact build ensures it takes less than a tenth of the space your regular car would occupy. You can easily wriggle through traffic congestion and get to your destination in record time. In addition, you do not have to search for a parking space that may be miles away from where you are going. Combine these with the pleasing aesthetics and you have the perfect solution to personal as well as environmental commuting problems.

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".
