Abstract
This report is part of my Master’s Thesis in Industrial Design, in Aalborg University. Its purpose is documenting the process I have gone through to achieve the final result. It deals with designing a bike solution for children with mild to moderate levels of Cerebral Palsy. During research it was found out that the best choice was not designing the whole bike, but a series of accesories to be fit onto regular bikes. Through the development phase, several tools like sketching, model making and user testing were used to reach a final concept for a bike saddle and handlebar. Both were ergonomically designed to meet the needs of children with CP. This concept brings value by offering a more affordable and accesible solution to having an adapted bike.
