CityRabbit electric scooter - Made for Norwegian roads

Norway

The three-wheeled standup vehicle has a 12-inch front wheel (larger than those of a typical scooter) which incorporates a pneumatic tire, a disc brake, and a 350-watt hub motor. One charge of the CityRabbit's 7.8-Ah/36-volt lithium battery pack is reportedly good for a range of approximately 12 miles (19 km).

A simple throttle button makes the thing go, while a standard brake lever causes it to stop. As riders are en route, they can charge their smartphone from the scooter's battery via a handlebar-located USB port.
