Launched today, this amazing new Scooter costs under £1000 and buyers can also save on the rising costs of petrol as its eight pence per charge from your home electric socket and one charge will get you 30-40 miles.

The Scoota has been bought over from China where it already sells 13 million a year. Londoners will be able to save on congestion charge and parking fees and there are a number of free charge points around the city.

With Boris Johnson trying to get scooter usage in bus lanes, the Ego Street Scoota, with top speeds of 30 miles an hour could get you to work quicker than public transport and minus the stress.

Get the green Ego Street Scoota now only from Firebox.com

    Great idea.

    I had to go into London today with a car from the South West. It had taken us 3 hours to move 4 miles. People were walking faster than us. I don’t travel into London that often but I assume that is just par for the course.

    This kind of thing will be great for everyone, assuming that people will know how to drive them properly, and how other motorists driving in cars will react to them. Let’s just hope they are competent enough not to hold up the buses in the bus lanes.

    Definitely a step forward in the right direction. Plus it is eco-friendly. Just need to put 24″ rims on now.

    Any chance of bringing these to the US (DC specifically)?
