Scooter commuter

There are lots of different makes and models of electric motorbikes, scooters, bikes and even skateboards the city commuter can choose from these days. But this bike and battery are made to go.

James South took a gamble and created the Yogo – the UK’s only full production electric scooter with portable battery. The lithium battery is easy to remove (weights about 11 kilograms) and take home for charging. It’s ready to go again, in about an hour. The bike has a range of 35 kilometers between battery charges and tops out at 61 kilometers an hour.

OK, it’s not the fastest or the cheapest scooter out there and styling-wise it’s not a Vespa. But at least you don’t have to find a plug in on the street or run a cord out the window from your apartment. And as Bibi demos, it will put a smile on your face.
