Introduction to a Folding Electric Scooter
A folding electric scooter: just think about it. I mean imagine years of moving heavy furniture. Also lugging your heavy suitcase all the way from your home to the airport. As well simply trying to get somewhere on a rainy day with a heavy umbrella. Now, imagine lasting a full hour at 25 mph on a battery-powered, rechargeable scooter.
Fun Ride on an electric scooter
It sounds incredible, and it is. That’s what you get when you build an electric scooter powered by a set of pedals and a rechargeable battery. This scooter’s design combines all the best parts of a folding commuter bike, a motorized standup tricycle, and an electric skateboard into one innovative package. It’s just as easy to ride as it is to fold up for storage. To top it all off, this scooter is incredibly inexpensive: less than $500.
Scenta Electric Scooter
So scenta, initiated by The Engineering and Technology Board (the etb), works with leaders in the science. Also we be Science. engineering and technology (SET) community. All to provide a gateway to the best information and resources. Especially for those pursuing a career in SET.
MIT develop a low cost folding electric scooter.
William J. Mitchell Professor of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences developed the folding electric scooter / vehicle. One which boasts of being clean, compact, energy efficient. I mean not to mention cool, along with several of his MIT students.
Conclusion
In addition, the team also collaborated with SYM. For that’s a major scooter manufacturer in Taiwan. Also and ITRI, Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute. The scooter, which has a clean, simple design. For it was dreamt up in response to a need in Asian and European cities. All which are already fond of traditional scooters. The advantage of the new model, however, is that it does not run on the old-style. Thereby polluting two-stroke engine and is silent.
Taking their lead from origami and existing folding bicycles, the Smart Cities team addressed the problem by designing a clean, green, silent scooter that can be folded in half and towed like a rolling suitcase—easy to take on trains, or indoors—or stacked in a rack for storage and battery charging.
