Electric motorcycles

Pollution and traffic congestion are common in densely populated cities. Now a new compact vehicle will help solve this situation.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Smart Cities have created a scooter that can fold up to half the size of the original, so it's easy to park, park, or take on a bus, the subway.

" The scooter offers a green, clean and extremely convenient solution that will reduce the need for personal vehicles on the street, " said Ryan Chin, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology designer.

The electric car looks like a normal scooter. But while other motorcycles have petrol, combustion engines, actuators, clutches and all the accessories - a total of up to 1,000 parts, the new scooter has only about 150 components. . The car is powered by batteries. With less accessories, the car is also lightweight and much cheaper. It weighs about 39 kg, compared to a conventional gauge weighing about 120 kg.
