Sustainable Urban Delivery Scooters

The Conceptual 'Aira' Scooter Purifies the Air Around it

— April 5, 2019 — Autos
The conceptual 'Aira' scooter is an electric transportation solution for use in urban locations that does double duty when it comes to air quality by eliminating the creation of fumes and actually capturing pollutants.

The scooter is intended to be used for short-distance deliveries and is outfitted with a purifying stone on the front section that will actually capture atmospheric pollutants as it's ridden. Crafted from ecoGranic, the stone is made from recycled materials and is suited for capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).

The conceptual 'Aira' scooter also features a robust tubular frame that offers steady durability when on the roads, while airless tires prevent debris from puncturing them and rendering the vehicle unridable. The scooter is the design work of Antoine Beynel and the Miio Studio.
