Electric scooter, rebuilt part by part
A production e-scooter, rebuilt in Inventor down to the last screw.
We took apart a Xiaomi Mijia-type scooter, one of the most common on city streets, and rebuilt every part, fastener, wire and mechanism in Inventor.

Every part, fully assembled
Exploded, one subassembly at a time
Each subassembly, rebuilt around how it actually works.
Subassembly renders
Scanned and built on top
Welded frames and organic parts were laser scanned. The scan was a guide; every feature was modeled from scratch.
ScanModel
Every wire has a path
All 46 connections traced end to end and routed through the frame in Inventor’s Cable and Harness.
Every moving mechanism
The fold, latch, brakes, throttle and suspension all move through their full travel, so fit problems show up on screen, not in the workshop.
