E-Scoot: It’s How I Roll

Alright, you Street Techies who ride scooters, try not to laugh, and you bikers in the audience, try not to hork in your Keiser helmets. It looks like something out of a Frauenfelder comic, like something Kata Sutra might drive, a sleek, barely-there electric scooter that can get 50 miles on a 50 cent charge.

This is something I might personally be interested in. I don’t drive a car and there are tons of stores and restaurants within one or two miles of my house. I’ve thought about a Segway, but they just look too dorky. This baby, a silver jump suit, and a silver helmet (or maybe orange suit and a DEVO flowerpot hat) and you’re talkin’ BOLD statement. The bad news is the Electric Scoot only goes 18mph tops. The price is 1500 Euros (about US$1,800).

For those scooter purists out there (who are still gas conservation conscious), this may be more to your liking.
