The Scrooser Electric Scooter

The Scrooser’s a cool scooter with electric motor and big fat tires that you ride standing up like a child's scooter has achieved its funding target on Kickstarter, allowing final development to go ahead.

Germany-based Scrooser has just unveiled the sleekest electric scooter yet. It's similar to a push scooter rather than a traditional motored one, due to its incredibly engineered impulse drive that quadruples the power of your kicks to a top speed of 15mph.

The Scrooser measures 1.75 meters and weighs just 61 pounds(28kg) , the scooter features a frame made of aluminium tube formed by a process called “freeform 3D bending" and is equipped with a hydraulic front disk brake, an internal rear motor brake, integrated front and back LED lights for riding at night, a double kickstand, and an ignition lock.

"A perfect pace for maneuvering through the city among pedestrian filled sidewalks is around 6 mph" the company's website explains, "but feel free to race cyclists on bike paths at a maximum speed of up to 15 mph."

With wide wheels and a low centre of gravity, the Scrooser remains upright when the rider dismounts. The 1000W motor provides direct power to the rear wheel, without the need for gears or chains.

A rechargeable lithium-ion battery located beneath the footboard can provide power for up to 25 days, and takes around 3 hours to recharge via a standard power outlet.
