Electric bikes are not new, but the Thunderbolt Scooter Concept by Henrik Björkman is definitely worth a second take. The technology inside isn't new, but the main focus is on its design. The Thunderbolt Electric Scooter uses an electro-magnetic power train that is carefully contained in the rear wheel itself, while the lack of a petrol tank provides enough storage real estate to hold a fair bit of picnic material. A 3-hour charge for the Thunderbolt Scooter is said to provide up to 70km of travel, making this the dream metropolis vehicle. When will it roll out of a manufacturing plant? Keep your fingers crossed and hope an angel investor will actually pick this idea up and turn it into a money-spinning business.
