The CityMantis is a new alternative to electric stand-up scooters and those ugly scooters for geriatrics — this one is designed for performance and style. Powered by a 250 Watt motor and two twelve-volt batteries, the Mantis will go up to 14 mph with a range of 14 miles, with an average usage time of 2 hours and a recharge time of 5 hours.. It has a belt drive, a rear drum brake and two nice soft wheels for smooth travel. It weighs about 40 lbs and folds up for easy storage. It also comes in about a dozen different colors. Price is $650, and it’s available in the UK or USA. Contact Mike at CityMantis for details on where or how to purchase. Click “read more” for bigger pic.
