This innovative shopping cart from designer Mete A. Mordag features increased storage and an electric motor. This amped-up storage means that the days of pushing two and even three shopping carts filled with stuff are a thing of the past. The most interesting aspect of the Z-Cart is its electric motor. You can fire up the motor and cruise around the store in comfort and ease. Check out the links to learn more about the Z-Cart and to see more of Mete A.
