Hmmm .... looks like a total fail. It will be banned from use on pavements just like all the other (smaller, slower) electric scooters. It is clearly too heavy to carry so the fact that it folds makes very little difference except making it more expensive, heavier and error-prone than it needs to be. The only benefit will be for thieves because it will be easier to steal. 2 years on and obviously no-one's seen them around anywhere. Funding should really go to well thought out ideas instead.

I think it´s a great solution for the issue of urban mobility. I hope it could be soon running on the streets!
