It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The Lightfoot scooter comes with two large solar panels so it doesn’t have to plug in.

More click saving :

  • 2 x120w solar panels, expected battery charge in summer 20-30miles, 10-20 in winter.
  • 37 mile total range
  • can be charged normally
  • 2x 750w motors for hill climbing.
  • 20mph max speed
  • has a cargo spot in the middle the size of a bagpack you can access by dropping the side panel.

The article said the size of a carry-on luggage, so a bit bigger than a backpack.

indeed have not seen anything like it before... are current solar panels able to handle that kind of wear and tear though? Also seems uncomfortable
