Scooter's aren't just for children, as the SRV.h concept shows. This scooter is made for adults, created with all their needs in mind. Designer Chiu-YenKai entered this design in the 2012 IF Design Talents entry.
The SRV.h concept is built to do more than just transport users from place to place. Its sleek design is easy to use and multifunctional. The great idea behind this is that the device is also able to turn into a shopping cart. It can also keep an iPhone safely in place while users are scooting around.
Users will be able to scoot to the grocery store and nonchalantly walk back with the cart. The base also looks like a skateboard deck with suave silver handles and wheels.
