April 14, 2006 Personal mobility options and how we tackle the daily commute greatly influences the lives of each of us. The ecological footprint each of us has on the planet influences everyone. With this in mind, the ElectroScoot was conceived and built. Somewhat reminiscent of the Segway in many aspects, the ElectroScoot is a functional, low cost objet d’art. It runs 50 miles for about 50 cents, does 30 km/h and recharges fully in six hours. No parking costs and no helmet required (please check your local laws). A red hot price point of 1500 Euro makes this a likely winner in our minds and the entire design process is well documented on the Electroscoot web site. Designers GRO are seeking manufacturing partners for the project.
