If you're an electric scooter enthusiast who happens to live in Washington DC, you can now start taking advantage of an innovative new scooter-sharing service that is designed to make it easier than ever for busy urban folks to embrace two-wheeled transportation.
Developed by the the company that started electric skateboard startup 'Boosted Boards,' the 'Skip' scooter-sharing service uses vehicles that are capable of moving along at speeds of up to 29 km/h by virtue of a 350-watt, 36-volt motor.
