Trikelet: Compact, Foldable Electric Vehicle

Meet the Trikelet: a foldable electric vehicle with a very compact design. It is a scooter which you can use to drive around and fold when you are done. Use it to get to your train station and take it along in the train. You can fit it under your seat or in the luggage compartment of the train. You can drag it like a rolling piece of luggage. The Trikelet has a 500-700W motor and can go 15 km and as fast as 20 km/h on a full charge.

Here are the specifications:

• Dimensions folded: around 570x290x320 mm (LxWxH)
• Max speed: 20 km/hour
• Electricity consumption: around 1 kWh per 70 km
• Range: 15 km
• Tires: front 8.5 inch and rear 6 inch air filled tires

Trikelet looks like a lot of fun. Not particularly expensive either. What do you think? Are you impressed?
