\nParking space woes will be history soon, with vehicles and contraptions for transport like being developed like this little electric scooter. Built by Terry Hope, an engineer on a Canadian schooner, this home-made scooter folds up and can be carried around in a suitcase! After having been told of by the captain of his sail that he couldn\u2019t bring anything on board that didn\u2019t fit into a suitcase probably, Hope designed this little electric scooter, the Kinetic Photovoltaic Vehicle (KPV), that he hopes will win the hearts of people around the world. The scooter uses a 396 W-h\/24-volt battery, 28 W-h\/12-volt booster batteries, 10.8-volt ultracapacitor bank and a 12-volt kinetic generator and can be charged in just 15 to 45 minutes, travelling 13 miles (21 km) per charge.<\/p>\n
\nWeighing in at 44 pounds (20 kg), this one boasts a top speed of 20 mph (32 km\/h), enough to get you around the neighborhood in an eco-friendly way. Gas guzzlers, say your prayers!
