RoboScooter by Smart Cities
The RoboScooter is a lightweight, folding, electric motor scooter. It is designed to provide convenient, inexpensive mobility in urban areas especially for the congested Asian cities 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. It is clean, green, silent, and compact.
Working at the request of the Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan and SYM, a scooter manufacturer based in Taiwan, the Smart Cities Group of the M.I.T. Media Laboratory, led by Prof. William J. Mitchell, created RoboScooter.
“We looked at existing folding bicycles and we looked at origami,” said the Professor.
The RoboScooter is designed so that it can be placed throughout cities for rental, much like the bicycle rental system in some European cities. Who knows? Maybe RoboScooter will be the solution for green mobility for today's crowded cities.
