Austin Electric Powersports based in the US are proud to announce the “ATX 8080” all electric urban scooter capable of 80 km range at 80 km/h. Obvs being electric there are no emissions except for the ones produced in getting your electricity from coal, into a power plant, through the countryside and over to your outlet.

ANYWAYS…

The electric motor propulsion and the generating system into one moving part with no gears, filters or belts for maintenance. This means it’s simple and incredibly rugged to suffer through your urban lifestyle.

Samsung have sponsored the power source on board that plugs directly into a wall socket for a 4 to 5 hour charge time.

One look at that low centre of gravity and you can just tell how well this thing lane-splits. On the down side, sitting so low down does mean you’re pretty less visible to Jozi drivers. Not like they’re looking for you in the first place.

Funding on Kickstarter for this one has been cancelled. Dunno why!?! Let’s blame Donald Trump.
