Want a scooter that gives you storage space and an eco-friendly ride? Try the FEDDZ scooter. It was designed and built by Germany’s Emo-Bike and has an interesting design. It uses an electric motor built into the wheel hub, which leaves that hole in motorbike’s frame free to store your stuff.

Now you can ride a scooter and bring your groceries home. No need to have a basket on the handlebars anymore. You get 23 liters of storage in all. This scooter comes in two versions with 48-volt lithium-ion batteries. The larger option delivers up to a 68-mile range on a seven hour charge, with a top speed of about 28 mph.

You’ll pay for that storage though. Prices start at just under $8,400(USD). For that price just get a decent used car with a trunk.

I know that some folks take up golfing as a sport in order to lose some weight and beef up their fitness stats, but something tells me that it is not going to burn all that many calories as opposed to a more vigorous activity such as swimming, running or cycling. Well, golf has also been associated as a sport that has relatively high entry costs, making it a “rich man’s game” if you will. Hence, it is a no-brainer for us to come across this $4,500 Ride On Golf Cart Scooter.

The Ride On Golf Cart Scooter so happens to be a powered golf cart scooter which is capable of transporting golfers from one point to another, allowing them to conserve energy for their game. The scooter itself sports a couple of 400-watt electric hub motors in the rear wheels which will propel the unit up to a top speed of 11 mph, and you will be able to make a turn simply by shifting your weight in the direction that you would like to go, pretty much like how a Segway operates. The handlebars will feature a forward throttle, reverse button, and a brake lever that would do its bit in slowing you down to a stop via the dual disk brakes. It is capable of climbing up to a 20° incline without breaking a sweat, and you ought to find it comfortable enough to ride on thanks to its oil-damped shock absorbers and four pneumatic tires. There should be enough battery life to last all 27 holes.

This sci-fi electric unicycle is the RYNO, a future-badass alternative to the Segway that looks like it got beamed down from the year 2114. But it’s here, and it’s real, and I got to ride it.

I still remember when there was this particular craze of scooters that took off, and all the little kids as well as teens wanted a scooter of their own. As a young adult who had just joined the working world back then, I too, was extremely tempted to pick up one of these scooters myself. Well, the craze did die off somewhat, and there was the Heelys craze that took over after that, but I decided to give that a miss as it looked way too silly for me. Well, here is a scooter that you can purchase for your little one to have them take a stab at some fun when getting around, although there is an added twist to the $44.95 Sidewalk Scribbling Scooter.

The Sidewalk Scribbling Scooter happens to be a child’s scooter that sports integrated chalk holders, allowing the rider to actually create art on sidewalks as well as driveways. It has a patented “tilt to turn” steering system that is formed by its twin front wheels, delivering the necessary stability for young riders up to 45 lbs., whereas there is a single rear wheel that offers the relevant smooth gliding. A couple of coiled springs in the rear will be able to secure separate pieces of chalk which will mark the ground in twin streaks of color as long as the rider scoots over pavement, asphalt, or concrete. Do you think that this could be the stepping stone to vandalism?

It is called Lord Humungous and it was created by 52-year-old Lance Greathouse from Phoenix, Arizona. “It” is a flamethrower attached to a mobility scooter. Lord Humungous cost about $1000 and a month of labor to create.

This deadly mobility scooter is made out of an electric golf cart, all terrain tires, and a helicopter seat. The flamethrower spits fire almost 10 meters away. It looks like it would fit right in during the apocalypse.

Greathouse Labs customizes wheelchairs for disabled people to reflect their personality, so that they don’t just have a boring ride. They also send out customized wheelchairs to the needy. Basically, everything they do is awesome. Fire! More fire!
