RoboScooter still a go

This is actually the first time I've heard of the RoboScooter (I guess I need to check in with AutoblogGreen a little more frequently) but it looks pretty darn sweet.

 

 

It's a 2-wheeler (of course) that is:

  • electric (powered with a li-ion battery and hub motors)
  • made with an aluminum structure (and therefore light weight)
  • foldable!

 

And it is expected to cost around $2k (in US dollars...but who knows if it will ever make it here).

Hah funny, it looks a lot like a fold-up bicycle.  Some specs:

 

"Featuring strong, lightweight aluminum alloy and simplified overall design, the Roboscooter tips the scale at only 50kg, about half of its 50cc gasoline-engine counterpart. Initial tests show that the RoboScooter has maximum speed of 40 and 50 kph, and cruises for about 30 kilometers. SYM aims to cut the gross weight to 40 kg and extend the cruise range to 60 kilometer for commercialization."

 

So it will have a range around 35 miles per charge and top speed of around 30 mph.  That's pretty solid for $2k.

I've got one of these bad boys and I love it:

 

 

Because I live in a little loft, the compact-ness (not a word) is so helpful. I love the idea of an EV version.

Yeah, the only problem is that the RoboScooter is like 120 lbs!
