The Hopper electric scooter taxi
« on: November 05, 2012, 10:35:53 AM »
The Netherlands have come up with an electric scooter taxi company called the Hopper. Read about it and see a few photos here:

I am not sure that not wearing a helmet is all that great an idea when riding on two wheels, even if you are moving at a slow speed - especially in a congested city environment.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

Amsterdam has bicycle lanes, so safety would be ok
Once you go EV, gas is history!
