The 'eFOLDi' personal vehicle is designed to allow users to get around town or a new city with ease without having to sacrifice any functionality. Featuring a scooter, a chair and a suitcase in one, the 'eFOLDi' can get up to 14-miles per charge at a speed of 12.5mph.

The 'eFOLDi' is ideal for travelers as it enables users to keep all their belongings with them all the time, always have a place to sit as well as a way to get from the station, to the final destination. The product is also great for those with [minor mobility issues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mobility-aids) who need a little bit of extra support when it comes to getting around.

The 'eFOLDi' personal vehicle is currently being funded on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-folding-scooter) where the unit can be purchased for less than half of the projected retail price.
