In most circumstances, scooter is more likely to help people achieving their destinations, thanks to its high mobility. And ever since Taiwanese authority announces new regulations of big scooters’ right-of-way , with the help of comprehensive highways and freeways, the practicality of big scooter is enormously increased. There are estimations shows that Taiwanese citizens are much more able to accept scooters than conventional motorcycles, based on their using habit and the brief environment. Scooters has three advantages, convenience, storage space and ride comfort. Therefore, this research is aiming big scooters as the subject. However, since modern manufacturers keep developing new models, causing short life cycles on the market, that realizing the crucial design elements, and take it as the reference of product model design is significant. According to the pre-experiment result of this research, apart from technical aspect and the price, that appearance is the first priority when consumers choosing their new set of wheels. This indicates that big scooter, when the machine itself and its production technique meet their apex, an attractive appearance will be the supplement to draw consumers’ attention. In this research, images are used as the media, and questionnaires are done by eight samples of interview method, and ten samples of image adjectives, and with the help of feature line sketching, taking the mean of questionnaires, extracting shape features for analysis, then progressing designing examples. Finally, we hope that with this research of big scooters’ side view, the result of shape features can be provided to academics and industries as a reference, making the future body design of big scooters more able to fit with consumers’ requirement and appetite.
