there are many light transportation alternatives aim at addressing the transportation crunch experienced by urban-dwelling folks, but none of them really take a stab at the “last mile” problem. from before and after taking public bus service or train, or for those who drives, but ended parking a mile away from where you need to be – that stretch of road will be what your legs have to cover and it sucks to be turning up in the office drenched in sweat after all those walking, but with the URB-E Electric Scooter, the last mile issue will be a thing of the past and so will the sweat-drenched you. as you can see, the URB-E is tiny, but still big and robust enough to ferry a full-size adult up to a top speed of 10 mph and travels out 20 miles on a single charge, which should last quite a while if use as a in-between transportation vehicle.
however, the biggest selling point lies in the clever design; it is designed to be folded neatly so it can be kept in tow like a luggage when not riding. it is so compact that it could be stashed away in the trunk of your car, or slip in between your legs while on a train or bus, and when you need a ride, it unfolds in seconds and you are all set to scoot away. the small package also allows apartment dwellers to store it in places like storeroom or even walk-in wardrobe without eating up a chunk of valuable space, while any standard wall outlet found around the house or in the office can be used to charge it up. though we’d be careful where we charge this thing, or you might risk being slapped with a fine that may make you think taking a cab would be a better option. just saying…
anyway, if you have a little over $1,600 or more to drop, this eco- and legs-friendly electric scooter can be acquired from Indiegogo. while you are contemplating whether to invest in one, you might want to check out a URB-E pitch video after the break.
