Happy Friday afternoon y’all!
After a few weeks of preliminary systems testing in the real world I wanted to share a small update on the @ooneepod Mini. In the thread below we are going to answer a few questions about what’s next!

@ooneepod …as some of you know, we produced two Mini prototypes; the idea was to test these regourously and to use the data to refine the features for the next batch of units that would be destined for NYC/NJ and other cities in the region.
One of these is destined for Grand Central...

@ooneepod …and we’re excited to share for the first time that we’re working with a number of community based organizations and the requisite city agencies to move the Mini around to different locations in New York City for 30 days at a time.
The purpose of this will be to test...

@ooneepod …how the Mini responds to real world conditions and to let city authorities determine the next steps to permitting.
I cannot yet say which CBOs and city agencies we’re working with, but I will have more to share soon!

@ooneepod …I am also excited to share that we will begin #bikenyc feedback sessions next week at Domino Park.
The goal is to solicit feedback from cyclists on how we can tweak and improve for the production order.
Look out for the invites, which we will share this weekend!

@ooneepod …now to answer a few FAQs:
First: Where does the Mini fit in to the larger bike parking picture?
A: The mini is a low density solution that is designed for the curb… we have medium and higher density designs that can be used where there is more real estate availible.

@ooneepod 2nd: How will the Mini be payed for?
A: We want to deploy many Minis. In cases where there are citywide programs (like JC) we will use ad revenue from commercial areas to subsidize ad-free residential Oonee Mini’s.
The goal would be to deploy 1000s with this model.

@ooneepod 3rd: What about Cargo Bikes?!
A: Cargo bikes cannot currently fit into the prototypes due to their larger size.
Not to worry tho. We are working on a customized version just for larger bikes, which will likely feature diagonal loading.

@ooneepod 4th: Are the features customizable?
A: Yes, the Mini is modular and there will be different versions that run the gamut from basic to advanced with respect to features and customizations.

@ooneepod Lastly a small plug. 🙏🏾
