Urb-E is an electric scooter designed for maximum range and portability. The scooter charges in three hours and travels up to 20 miles per charge, at a speed of 15 miles per hour. It can be controlled via smartphone, using the Urb-E App to monitor battery charge, range, speed, LED lighting, music, and navigation. The smartphone dock also charges one’s phone, so using the scooter won’t drain power. Riding the scooter won’t limit mobility, either. The recyclable, aircraft-grade aluminum frame folds up, so that it can be taken almost anywhere one needs to go. Collapsing within a minute, the razor scooter can be brought on a bus or train with no hassle to the owner and without crowding other travelers. As the scooter weighs just 27 lbs., it can also be carried indoors, safely on one’s person at all times. The frame comes in MRDR Black, Carbon Grey, Cloud White, Polished Gold, or Go Green, and is accented by dots of black, blue, white, pink, yellow, or orange. Additionally, each scooter comes with a set of clear sleeves, which can be customized and inserted in place of the standard accents. Soon to be available in three-wheeled Commuter and two-wheeled GP models, the Urb-E is currently campaigning for support on indiegogo. Donate now to lock in exclusive pre-sale prices.
