MUV-e electric scooter syncs to a smartphone and folds into a backpack

Getting stuck in traffic is hardly appealing to city commuters. The crowded streets have compelled many people into buying bicycles and trying to kill the fitness bird and the traffic bird with a single stone. However, unless you have the good sense to work on your upper body strength while your lower limbs get a work or have the good fortune of working in an office with a dedicated parking lot, chances are that carrying your bikes up and down multiple stories twice a day really kills you. However, Israel based Amir Zaid really has come up the perfect way to revolutionize personal mobility and not in the creepy capitalistic car-for-one way.


  The automobile designer and inventor joined forces with Autodesk, the noted CAD software company and came up with the MUV-e electric scooter. Even though the design really looks like a Segway and perhaps even functions like one, Zaid insists that it is nothing like it since it has the ability of being folded up into a handy backpack or a strolley.

The MUV-e electric scooter is not only ultra portable but eh little three wheeled wonder also makes a wonderful electric alternative to motorbikes and cars. All the variants of the model weigh between 25 to 30 lbs though all of them can be folded up into a trolley suitcase with a handle or a backpack.

Using a smartphone, users can command the MUV-e to fold up or fold down. During use, the smartphone can also be docked on the scooter’s handlebar where is can function like a navigator and speedometer for the portable transportation device. Zaid insists that the all-electric vehicle can go for around 20 miles on a single charge which won’t be helpful in intercity commutes but could make traveling over short distance less of a chore.
