Rethinking the Electric Scooter
Electric scooters have traditionally been designed for short distance commutes of only a few miles. With time-consuming charging periods and limited distances between charges the average consumer has seen them as little more than a novelty item for quick trips to the store or around a college campus. However, new developments in battery technology are changing the way that the electric scooter is being designed.
The Libert-E scooter’s battery technology is based upon lithium ion technology. The battery is compact, lightweight and can be fully charged in under two hours. Also, the length of time the battery can stay charged has increased meaning that currently the Libert-E can run for 55 miles before a charge. The convenience of the battery and ease of charging means that a stop at Starbucks for a latte allows you enough time to give the battery full charge.
With these changes in technology would you purchase an electric scooter like the Libert-E? If so, where would you drive it?

55 miles is great considering the size and portability of the battery, especially if your daily commute is under 20miles.
