Awesome Scooters

The poor man’s Segway. Some creative – and reckless – bloke installed what looks like a scooter’s engine and a wheeled platform onto a wheelbarrow. We hope they don’t try to pull off a wheelie on it. Or ever let a kid ride it again.

A German-engineered electric scooter, the Scrooser has a 1000W motor and a 20Ah battery, letting you cruise up to 15mph for 22mi. Fortunately, its aluminum frame is light enough that you can still propel it with your feet.

A unique 2-wheel scooter with a spring-loaded fork and rear steel leaf-spring. Combined, this allows riders to jump obstacles with ease, and get serious air compared to regular scooters.

The Zuumer is an electric scooter designed to be easy and fun to ride. The rider can carve and steer simply by leaning, similar to riding on a longboard. It has a range of 20mi and a top speed of 20mph.

Watch 19-year old Mitch Baldry pull off flips, whips and more flips at the Knox Skate Park in Australia in this video shot by Infinity List. We are terribly afraid for your head and neck dude.

In order to improve driver safety for its delivery drivers, Domino’s Pizza Netherlands added a human-made engine sounds to its electric scooters. Safer? Yes. Annoying? Definitely.

Designer Gustavo Brenck combined hauling your stuff and urban transportation with his lightweight “Gig Pack” concept. At this point, it’s just a prototype, but we’d love to see it produced.

We’re certain that neither the Vespa scooter nor the skate park in this video were designed for this purpose, but rider Boulon shows off his Vespa bowl-riding (and bird-flipping) skills in this video.

We struggle to even stand upright on one of those metal little scooters, so when we saw Ryan Williams pulling off these insane scooter moves, our jaws pretty much dropped to the floor.

The QTvan gets its name from three “peculiarly British obsessions” – queueing, tea time and caravan. Meant to be hauled by a scooter, it has a full-size bed, a tea service, a full bar and a 19″ TV.

Mini’s Scooter E Concept is powered by an integrated electric motor in the rear wheel and features a smartphone adapter which operates as vehicle key, display and central control element.

We had no idea that you could pull off such mad tricks on one of those little Micro Scooters, but that’s exactly what Terry Price manages to do as he takes on the entire skate park with his.

We don’t know much about Liron Bobrov’s Soopa Scoota, except that it’s a nutty 2 wheeled ride that you lie face forward and cruise at superfast speeds on, to make tons of people jealous. Whee!

The Mantys personal electric golf cart is controlled by shifting your weight with ski-like movements. It’s got enough juice to go 36 holes, tops out at 12.5 mph and has the power to take 20° inclines.

Tiny two-wheelers pimped out to the next level, these scooters break boundaries with bodies and seats as wide as those found in choppers, huge tires, and loud designs and color schemes.

More than a scooter but not quite a motorcycle, the Sachs MadAss 125 gets the best of both worlds with a lightweight design (the fuel is in the frame), manual transmission and 124cc engine.

Not your average Vespa, Piaggio’s MP3 5000 is its flagship three-wheeled scooter with a lean angle of up to 40 degrees; it tops out at 89 mph with a 492.7 cc engine that gets 55-57 mpg.
