Segway

Segway HT (human transporter) is a battery-powered, two-wheeled electric transportation device. It costs less than a car and uses less space than a bike. Segway weighs about 30 kg and can fit in any car.

It's really easy to ride: stand on the platform, lean forward to move ahead, or lean back to stop. Pull the left handle to return and lean forward a little more to go faster.

It takes from four to six hours to fully charge its battery; you can ride about 16 km after that. Segway can have a speed of over 30–40 km/h.

Only one person can use Segway at a time, but still it's a very comfortable kind of city transport, which can go wherever people can walk.

Motorized scooter

Electric scooters are slowly becoming more and more popular with both teens and adults, especially in big European cities like Madrid and Paris. People not only use them for fun but also to move around the city and get to work or to school.

A motorized or electric scooter is a quick and cheap way to get around. It's a great alternative to cycling or walking.

A lot of scooters are provided by ride-share companies that allow you to take a scooter in one place and leave it in another one.

However, e-scooters are prohibited in many countries such as the UK: they are believed to be unsafe.
