The conceptual 'Zipper' electric scooter has been designed by Rostyslav Matiukhin as an urban transportation solution for city dwellers in need of a better way to get around town. The scooter is equipped with a 500W motor to achieve a top speed of 20mph with a maximum range of 16-miles thanks to the 10Ah battery pack within. The scooter features a four-link suspension system that's crafted from composite materials to protect against bumps in the road, while the three-wheel design and tilting fork further enhance balance.
The conceptual 'Zipper' electric scooter features an electric lift functionality that collapses it down to half the original size when arriving at a destination or heading onto the train. This will prevent the rider from getting their hands dirty by touching the lower portion of the scooter.
