The RoboScooter is folding electric scooter ,developed by Smart Cities Group
The RoboScooter Folding was designed to allow transportation practical and affordable in urban areas while reducing the negative effects of widespread use of vehicles-traffic congestion, parking, noise, air pollution and fuel use.
The RoboScooter Folding that designed from an alloy of aluminum and a simple design, this scooter only weights 50 kg., or half of its motorized equivalent. It has a range of 30 km for a maximum speed of about 50 km /hrs. Designers hope to weight of 10 kg.
The RoboScooter Folding will be entirely electric, with at least one lithium-ion battery pack that can be swapped out for another, fully charged one. And although the exact mechanics haven’t been finalized, the scooter will have the ability to fold into itself, with its rear wheel sitting alongside the front one. That covers the cool stuff that might convince you to eventually buy or rent one.
The RoboScooter’s biggest innovation are designed to serve as approximate functional equivalents of 50cc gasoline-powered scooters. ,The Roboscooter is clean, silent and needs slight parking space. Compared to the 1,000 to 1,500 parts of an equivalent gasoline-powered scooter, The Roboscooter only integrates 150 parts, which makes it simple, cost effective and easy to maintain.
Moreover, the detachable batteries are very small in size and can be recharged in their racks. their battery packs are also small enough to be conveniently removable, which opens up the possibilities of charging spare batteries at home, and of battery vending machines that accept discharged batteries and provide fully charged ones.
