Zuumer electric scooter


It’s official - I’m buying one. After just a single ride on Zuumcraft’s new Zuumer Electric Scooter, I’ve just put my $250 down payment for my very own unit. Why? Because the Zuumer is the single most innovative, most useful, and most fun VLEV (Very Light Electric Vehicle) that I’ve ever ridden, and I’ve tried a few. And I don’t impress easily.
The Zuumer Electric scooter is a new kind of VLEV invented by Tom Boyd of Zuumcraft, Inc., of San Diego, CA - it’s a three-wheel electric stand-up scooter that uses an innovative new suspension system on the rear wheels of the unit. This suspension system allows both rear wheels to independently lean into the angle of a turn similarly to how a motorcycle would do. The combination of the two rear wheels and the independent suspension system allows you to ride this scooter very similarly to how you might a skateboard or snowboard. In fact, the closest feeling that I can describe to how riding a Zuumer feels is that it is like snowboarding a road. Except, you can snowboard up hill.

I'd rather just ride a car, but I guess that those are pretty cool. How much do they go for?
