The Itaponko Electric Scooters are specially released battery powered vehicles that feature two characters from the widely acclaimed Japanese anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
These colorful character bikes were created by Tokyo-based company Brain Police Light and run on a lithium battery. They can be charged from a household outlet and can travel at up to 35 km./h. The two creatures that the Itaponko Electric Scooters are modeled after are Kyubey and Candy Witch after they have transformed. The cute white feline with flowing pink ears is Kyubey and the darker mischievous one with jagged white teeth is Witch Candy.
The electric vehicles commemorate the release of the new Puella Magi Madoka Magica movies.
