The Human Transport Scooter. $399.95. The electric scooter that thinks it’s a Segway. But without the Kamen hype. Or technology. Or trendy factor. Or desirability. Or indeed price.
Designed for use by police departments in Taiwan, the Human Transport Scooter has a 300-watt motor and can reach speeds of 30 mph with no trouble. The front wheel rotates almost 360 degrees, so there’s no need to switch into reverse; and it is made extra safe with the tiny fourth wheel in the back, so you won’t flip backward.
It doesn’t mention a range…. suspicious…
It’s kind of funny that in the description (the part most people will read) it says the scooter can hold up to 400 pounds. In the actual specs (just below the image in the ad), it says it’s maximum load is 220 pounds. So, which is it then? :)

Here is a link to the actual ad, in case anyone is wondering what I am talking about. :)
Hm..well it’s all a bit dodgy if you ask me. I mean who’s that strange looking bloke riding it in the photo for a start…
