# Convenient Battery Scooters The UNU Scooter Uses a Simple Battery Device By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-30 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unu-scooter References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/100-km-range-unu-electric-scooter-portable-batteries-08-29-2014/) & [unumotors](https://unumotors.com/) The UNU Scooter is the first of its kind to have a battery than can literally be charged almost anywhere. Instead of needing a fancy plugin for charging, this can be attached to any regular wall outlet in the same way that one boosts up their smartphones. Moreover the scooter looks great too, and does not compromise at all on style. Many times scooters will be more [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wn7) compared to regular cars, but it's still a hassle to charge them if they run on electricity. The UNU Scooter on the other hand helps to solve these problems, and make the [small transportation unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-electric-scooters) more accessible to people. Hopefully this takes off in Europe soon, as it would be a huge help to the environment.
