If your mobility has been impaired due to injury, disability or that universal devil, aging – this gadget will give you that much-needed leg-up and zip you around effortlessly in style. Called the Electric Personal Transporter, it is a four-wheeled electric personal vehicle that you’ll want to be seen riding (unlike those bland, beige motorized shopping carts) and lets you easily get out and about to run errands, simply relax riding through the park or both thanks to its impressive 20 mile range.
Providing smooth 12-14 mph transport from its twin 500-watt electric motors hidden inside the two front 16-inch drive wheels, the Electric Personal Transporter also features two trailing 3.5-inch wheels which provide sharp steering control. Combined with its non-slip, rubber-topped, steel-reinforced deck, the scooter ensures a stable, balanced, sure-footed ride without you needing to lean into corners.
With its handlebar throttle and hand-brake providing gentle acceleration and confident stops, the Electric Personal Transporter even comes equipped with a headlight, horn and a handled, slide-off basket for easy toting of your bits.
Scooting you up to 20 miles after a mere one hour charge (for riders weighing up to 350 lbs), the Electric Personal Transporter folds to less than 18-inches high for easy storage, comes in your choice of five vibrant colors (blue, green, orange, black or silver) and is available now – for less than half the price of the most low-end two-wheeled Vespa – from Hammacher Schlemmer for $1,895.00.
