MIT’s RoboScooter


Clean, green, silent, and compact!

The research group Smart Cities at the MIT Media Lab has a very cool retractable scooter concept (The RoboScooter). A lightweight, folding, electric motor scooter designed to provide convenient, inexpensive mobility in urban areas while radically reducing the negative effects of extensive vehicle use – road congestion, excessive consumption of space for parking, traffic noise, air pollution, carbon emissions that exacerbate global warming, and energy use.
