The E.T. Scooter is an incredible folding electric scooter that can be packed up in just five seconds.
The scooter is equipped with a lithium-polymer battery that gives it a range of 35 km per two-hour charge. It will eventually be offered with a 250-watt motor that could even be upgraded to 700 watts to give it a top speed of 55 km/h.
The E.T. scooter weighs only 30 kg and can handle riders who weigh up to 160 kg.
The developers of the E.T. Scooter are running a Kickstarter campaign to raise production funds to bring the vehicle to market. A pledge of $2,190 will secure you one unit if production becomes a reality, while the final retail price is planned to be $2,990.
