Zipping around on motor scooters is a fun way to get around any city, but the cramped quarters of city living don’t usually come with garage space. The BOXX is an electric scooter that’s about three feet long and weighs 120 pounds. It resembles a piece of carry-on luggage with front and rear handles, but can hold up to 300 pounds worth of passenger at a max speed of 35 mph.

If they have blue, I might just buy one of these.

    Charming. Used to ride a motorcycle, then later a scooter. Sounds interesting.

      I think it would be excellent to take along when camping. It would be handy to go get some groceries or something.

        Hmmm . There doesn't appear to be much clearance for the front wheels to turn very far ...

        Good point. I wonder if the panels swivel with the front wheel.
