Ice-Traversing Electrical Scooters

This Electric Scooter Shows They Aren't Just for the Pavement

— February 18, 2014 — Autos
Electrical scooters don't get the credit they deserve. They provide the fun of traveling on a scooter, while also taking the physical pressure off of the body. This electrical scooter is even more useful than the regular ones due to some crafty innovation.

What do you do with a scooter that's missing its front wheel? Well, you throw on a skate and transform it into an ice-traveling machine. Ben Nelson shows you how to make an everyday electrical scooter into an ice scooter in just a couple of easy steps and with very little supplies needed.

While we've seen scooters that make use of small skis to traverse the snow, this is the first time we're seeing anything that lets somebody safely travel on ice.
Trend Themes
1. Ice-traversing Electric Scooters - Electric scooters designed to easily maneuver on ice, offering an alternative to traditional ice-skates or skiing.
2. Alternative Transportation Innovations - Innovations in alternative transportation modes and devices to meet niche or unique transportation challenges, in this case, ice crossing.
3. Adaptive Recreational Equipment - Development of recreational equipment that can adapt to different settings or environmental conditions, promoting more inclusive outdoor activities.
Industry Implications
1. Sporting Goods - Manufacturers of recreational equipment, especially those designed for winter activities, could potentially invest in creating ice-traversing scooter models.
2. Electrical Vehicles - Electrical vehicle manufacturers, specifically electric scooter makers, can expand their product lines by offering ice-traversing models.
3. Tourism and Leisure - Developing ice-traversing scooter rentals, training, or guided tours in regions with frozen rivers or lakes, could attract more visitors to participate in unique outdoor winter activities.
