A few months ago I had \u201ca few beers\u201d after taking the kids to the pub (always good in the sunshine \u2013 they can go in the pub garden on the swings and you can have a refreshing pint). On the way back I decided to use my son\u2019s scooter and it was, I\u2019ll confess, really good fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the next morning I woke up with a sore leg and a bump on my head. The latter was due to an argument I\u2019d had with a lamppost and the former was due to me only being able to \u201cscoot\u201d with one leg. I don\u2019t know what it is, but if I try to use my left leg to push, it all goes very wrong.<\/p>\n

\"Fancy<\/a><\/p>\n

I did not look as cool as this guy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, if you\u2019ve got a bit<\/em> more money, you can have a hybrid scooter. Yes, yes I did just say that \u2013 a hybrid scooter. It comes with an electric scooter which fires into life when you start doing the push \/ kick motion. This is unlike other electric scooters because there\u2019s no throttle control required and it uses a mix of both human and electric power.<\/p>\n

The on-board battery will last an hour and the whole thing only weighs 7.5kg, so you can still do a few little stunts on it. It\u2019s foldable and has three different \u201cride programs\u201d including \u201ceco, standard and sport\u201d to limit the speeds. Not only that, but the scooter has something called \u201cregenerative braking\u201d which gives you a shorter stopping distance whilst also charging the battery. There\u2019s an \u201cassistance switch\u201d on the scooter to kill the electric motor completely if you want to go old-school, plus it\u2019ll shut down by itself when you stop using the scooter to save power..<\/p>\n

The company tell me that the scooter is designed in Switzerland and uses a brushless motor inside the rear wheel giving more power. There\u2019s also a \u201cslope support\u201d system which gives additional torque and power when the scooter detects that you\u2019re going up-hill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The minor down point? It\u2019s \u00a3749.95. Ouch. I could buy a car for that. \"\ud83d\ude09\" Head over to the Micro Scooters website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
