With electric vehicles become more and more common, the XO2 electric scooter shouldn’t surprise anyone based on it being powered by electric. One of the more interesting features of this electric scooter is that you can fold it up and bring it in to your apartment for charging. Granted it’s still pretty big when it’s folded, but if you’re going to keep it in your house to keep it away from the thieves, you’ll be grateful that it can shrink itself a little. The scooter sports between 60km/h for the XO2 50 Urban and 105km/h for the XO2 125 Urban. You’ll be able to charge the scooter to about 80% within a few hours, and get about 50-70km out of it. There isn’t any information on pricing or availability just yet, but stay tuned, and we’ll update you as soon as we get wind of those details.

XO2 Folding Scooter
Ferrari-styled OutRun arcade machine set for crazy scooter transformation?
If you're a child of the '80s and a gamer to boot you surely remember OutRun, the game that rocked a generation with only some parallax effects and pixelated blonde hair -- though the giant arcade cabinet with gold wheels certainly didn't hurt. Now "contemporary artist" Garnet Hertz (creator of the twitching, crunchy frog server) is proposing to give that very cabinet a new lease on life, and a motorized one at that. Hertz wants to take an arcade machine and merge it with an EVT America Electric Trike, making those stylized five-spoke rims actually move. But that's only half of it. He plans to power the display with an iPhone 3GS and use it to render a sort of halcyon 16-bit view of the world ahead, with every road a 64-color dream lined with palm trees. A recent video showing off some of the tech is embedded below, and while we think this is about as likely to turn a wheel as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cabinet is to travel in time, we'll certainly be first in line with four quarters if it ever does.

Electric scooter 'zuums' into play
Self-described tinkerer and car enthusiast Tom Boyd was a successful salesman with no engineering training 3½ years ago when he came up with an interesting idea for a vehicle steered by its rear wheels.
Yesterday, the San Diego inventor zipped around a North Harbor Drive parking lot atop the first incarnation of his concept: the Zuumer electric scooter.
With one wheel in front and two in back, the Zuumer could be called a poor man's Segway or an oversized skateboard with handlebars.
“I like to call it the smart man's Segway,” Boyd said. “It's faster, maneuvers better and costs half as much.”
While the Segway never lived up to its hype, Boyd and colleagues from ZuumCraft Inc. hope to build a San Diego business by capturing a sense of “cool” with a scooter that can literally do circles around Segway.
They just completed a two-week trek on the scooter, from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. In what was part publicity stunt and part demonstration of the vehicle's durability, Boyd rode along the coastal highway, pausing every 20 miles or so – more frequently when he had to climb hills – to swap fresh batteries.
The $2,195 Zuumer, scheduled to go into production in January, is capable of hitting nearly 20 mph and will go about 20 miles before recharging.
The scooter is considered a motorized bicycle in California, and generally can travel in bicycle lanes and on local roads where bicycles are allowed, according to ZuumCraft. It's also subject to local regulations and restrictions.
The Zuumer gets its power from an electric motor in its front wheel, but the steering is done from the back as the rider shifts his weight from side to side.
The back of the scooter turns separately from the front, like an articulated bus turning a tight corner. At the same time, the wheels lean into the turn, like a motorcycle, and they steer like a long firetruck with a driver for the back end.

Electric Scooter/Cycle Guide
Electric bikes, mopeds and scooters currently come closest to matching consumer expectations in terms of cost, performance and reliability of any electric-drive vehicle now available.
They also come in a dizzying spectrum of styles, capabilities and prices from inexpensive "toys" to moderately expensive maxi scooters soon to debut in Europe and North America. A handful of prototypes are even powered by miniature fuel cells.
While toy scooters are coming under increasing scrutiny by local law enforcement, statutes regarding adult-sized machines generally coincide with their gasoline moped counterparts on a state-by-state basis.
Speeds are typically limited to 30 mph for all machines in this class, so what is more important is the size of the battery pack in terms of amp hours -- the more the better -- and sustained wattage output of the electric drive motor -- again, more is better (see guidelines below). Distance on a charge is a function of battery amperage, terrain, speed and the weight of the driver (and rider). Expect less than 5 miles out of "toy" machines and up to 25-30 miles for more classic motor scooters
Two words of advice: don't trust the wattage numbers proffered by many Asian clone scooter makers -- they are usually grossly over-inflated. Second, buy as much amperage and wattage as you can afford. You won't be disappointed.
Finally, a word of caution: making a business out of manufacturing electric bicycles and scooters is a daunting undertaking, especially for the North Amercian market where bicycles and scooters are viewed more as recreational diversions than serious commuting/errand running machines, as they are in parts of Europe. The likes of Ford Motor Company (Th!nk brand) and Lee Iacocca (EBike brand) have tried and failed to make a business out of it, as has Wavecrest Labs. Be aware that while these brands offered quality products, they may no longer be supported with parts and service
Seen/scene: No roar, no smoke -- the Vectrix scooter is all electric
As the only owner of a Vectrix electric scooter in the state of Washington, Dave Denhart is in a world of his own. He whirs rather than roars down the street, emission-free, never needing a fill-up.
Vectrix Corp. hopes to see more urban commuters like him take to its high- performance, battery-powered scooters. The Green Car Co. of Kirkland, one of only six dealers in the country, had around 70 people test ride the Vectrix at an event a few weeks ago. The scooter has a suggested price of $11,000, excluding taxes, delivery fees, etc.
What else is different about this baby? It has no clutch, no engine and can go from zero to 30 mph in 3.1 seconds. Designed in the U.S. and made in Poland, it's faster than other electric two-wheelers -- reaching up to 62 mph.
Denhart, who commutes to Microsoft from his home east of Redmond, still owns a car and a "dormant" motorcycle. But he said riding the Vectrix makes an impact.
"Electric is a good way to start to get us away from the dependence on oil," he said.
And it's enjoyable, too.
"Part of the fun is you're cruising around and you're not hearing engine noise," he said. "So, you're like, 'This is cool in a Jetsons sort of way.' "
At 48, he fits the local customer profile -- male baby boomers with motorcycle licenses.
"Baby boomers are more willing to embrace something new and environmentally friendly. And they have the money," said Susan Fahnestock of The Green Car Co.
It's intriguing enough that Harley guy -- and self-described internal-combustion engine lover -- Bob Sternoff may buy one.
"It's a lot quieter than my Harleys, so it's something I can use without ear plugs," said Sternoff, a member of the Kirkland City Council. "I'll still wear my helmet that says 'loud pipes.' "

The Piaggio Liberty high-wheeled scooter enjoys extremely low consumption and negligible emissions exceeding Europe’s tough Euro 2 standards. Practical, manoeuvrable, functional - all captured in a design of elevated elegance. The Liberty is fun to ride in city traffic and always assured in its movements. The Piaggio Liberty 125 embodies the strong points of the high-wheeled scooter, a vehicle that has enjoyed a real boom in recent years in terms of popularity and sales. In scooter savvy Italy, the Liberty is the market leader in sales. Rationality and design appeal are the reasons for this scooters success. It produces a solution to the urban mobility problem that appeals across the board to a wide range of customers. The success of the Liberty is not only the result of its elegant lines, but also of the attention that Piaggio pays to improving technology, comfort, functionality and performance to create a comprehensive product range that meets the tastes and expectations of every customer. Storage space meets the needs of town use: the Liberty has a helmet compartment under the seat, storage inside the legshields, rear rack and bag hook, and the option of a colour-coded top box. The Liberty 125 Quattrotempi is powered by the new-generation Piaggio four-stroke engine. High technology and environmental friendliness are the criteria that inspired the Piaggio LEADER engine range (Low Emission ADvanced Engine Range) which powers the Liberty 125 Quattrotempi in the two valve SOHC air cooled configuration. Fuel consumption is particularly low (38 km on one litre at 60 km/h for the Liberty 125). Safety, comfort and driving enjoyment are guaranteed on the Liberty by motorcycle-type design elements and cycle parts. The Libertys high resistance steel frame has structural reinforcement. It absorbs even the roughest road surfaces without problems. This is helped by a suspension system made of a front fork with oversized shafts and a single arm rear suspension with a dual rate hydraulic damper and coil spring with adjustable 4-position pre-loading. The brakes, a 220 mm hydraulic disc at the front and 140 mm drum at the rear, guarantee a high level of active safety and perfect control over the vehicle. The 125 has chrome plated steel protective elements, a chrome-plated spring on the rear damper and a new larger and more comfortable seat. An electronic anti-theft immobiliser is standard equipment on the Liberty 125.

PIAGGIO MP3 Two front wheels — a revolutionary concept. Piaggio launched the first Vespa model — and with it the scooter phenomenon — in the spring of 1946. The scooter revolutionised personal transport, giving Europeans a sense of utter freedom. Sixty years on, Piaggio has come up with another revolutionary product: the PIAGGIO MP3, a totally innovative three-wheeler with two front wheels. The PIAGGIO MP3 provides safety, road grip and stability levels that no two-wheeler can match. Power, performance and ease of use make for a very entertaining ride. The two front wheels of the PIAGGIO MP3 re-define the very concept of ride stability to provide an unprecedented riding experience. The front assembly, with two independent tilting wheels, is far more stable than any scooter. The PIAGGIO MP3 grips the road even when tailing other vehicles, providing top performance in total safety. The full extent of this three-wheeler’s stability can be tested on wet asphalt or tough riding conditions that would sorely challenge a traditional two-wheeler. In town and city traffic the PIAGGIO MP3 has no equal in terms of safety. It takes on cobblestone streets, patchy asphalt and tram tracks with the greatest of ease, remaining safe and stable all the while. With its compact super-scooter size and exceptional manoeuvrability, the PIAGGIO MP3 is at home in town traffic. It’s a cinch to park: an electro-hydraulic suspension locking system means there is no need to put the vehicle on its stand. Thanks to an overall front-end width of only 420 mm, the Piaggio MP3 is type-approved as a standard two wheeled motorcycle. The revolutionary PIAGGIO MP3 requires far less braking space than any scooter — the three-disk braking system and exceptional front-end road-holding reduce braking space by 20 per cent compared to the best scooters. The PIAGGIO MP3 comes into its own when heading out of town. Its road grip, cornering safety and tilt angle of up to 40 per cent are unprecedented for a scooter, adding to the pleasure of riding different road surfaces at high speed. The PIAGGIO MP3 will come to Australia as a 250 cc, 4-stroke, 4-valve, liquid-cooled unit in line with Euro3 emissions standards. The 250cc, equipped with electronic injection, delivers a 22.5 bhp/16.9 kW power output, making the PIAGGIO MP3 capable of comfortably taking on long-distance rides. The PIAGGIO MP3 offers unique and unprecedented riding pleasure. The version we are expecting will have an electro-hydraulic tilt lock mechanism allowing automatic levelling. This innovative vehicle marks the start of a new personal transport revolution from Piaggio. From Piaggio Press

| Vespa GTV 250
Engine: Single-cylinder QUASAR, 4 stroke, 4 valve, electronic injection, catalysed
Displacement: 244cc
Starter: Electric
Description: Transmission: CVT with torque server
Now in Stock!The Vespa GTV 250. (From Piaggio Press) The Vespa GTS was the perfect base on which to carry out this styling exercise. The steel load-bearing body, an element of continuity and the trademark feature of the Vespa, which sets it apart from any other scooter, has never been changed and this Vespa is no exception. The changes made to come up with the GTV concern all the details that have been modified over the years to keep up with technological and design trends in various periods. On the very first prototype in 1946 the headlamp was positioned on the front mudguard, moving to the handlebar in the mid-1950s. By placing the headlamp on the front mudguard once again, the Vespa GTV makes a clear reference to the origins of the Vespa, while the size and the lamp surface resemble the modern styling of the Vespa GTS. A similar change has been made to the handlebar, a simple, visible metal tube on the very first Vespa prototype. The GTV also uses a ‘naked’ handlebar, which however has a modern motorcycle-type look. The round analogue speedometer-mileometer has relatively retro graphics, plus a digital ride information display. The saddle, another feature that has changed considerably on Vespas over the years, has been comprehensively redesigned. As on the earliest Vespas, the GTV saddle is split into two distinct parts, one for the rider and one for the passenger. The genuine leather saddle has visible stitching, emphasising the detail on this vehicle. A dual rear shock absorber, two disk brakes and big 12” wheels: the Vespa GTV has all the Vespa GTS’s technical equipment.
