Electric Scooters have been available for some time now but I recently came across a new Electric bike called the Elmoto HR-2 after reading about the EICMA motorbike show recently held in Milan. By now if you are a regular reader you know I have a love for climate change friendly vehicles of all kinds, I love the technology, the thinking outside the box and the styles as much as I love the fact they are good for the environment.
This bike just ticks all the correct boxes for me because until now most electric scooters I have seen have just been normal scooters with a big battery but the Elmoto is not a normal scooter and it prides itself on that fact. Looking more like a normal motorbike than a scooter the little ripper can do 30 mph and run for 45 miles before it needs a 2 -4 hour recharge. I have always liked the idea of a little electric bike for commuting but scooters are just so incredibly uncool that I could never bring myself to sitting on one let alone riding through town however this is one damn cool looking machine!
