Mobility in congested cities raises many questions, but the most typical is what we do with so many cars? A car to transport a person occupies much space, but a small motorcycle, bicycle or scooter can carry up the workplace. Of course if you live far are not entirely viable solutions. Honda and this idea was raised long ago and in 1981 launched the Honda Motocompo, a small bike that fit in the trunk of the Honda City. Now MINI gives us his vision similar to the MINI Citysurfer, an electric scooter for urban mobility concept.
It is a modern, small folding scooter, still in conceptual form, which weighs 18 kilos and being folded can be transported in the trunk of a three-door MINI or even take the train or subway. Through fist accelerator give orders to the electric motor on the rear wheel of the scooter can reach 25 mph speed limit. The handlebar can place a smartphone to use as GPS.

For the electric engine runs first animal traction is needed. After boosting foot scooter have available an interesting range of between 15 and 25 kilometers, always depending on road conditions. Recharging the lithium ions at the base of the skate is made through a household outlet or a 12 volt as equipping cars. The engine includes regenerative braking so on downs or decelerations also charge the batteries.
If you liked the idea, you have to search the market a similar alternative, since the MINI Citysurfer is a prototype that has been presented at the Hall of Los Angeles.
