Projects of electric scooters from Californian startups have enjoyed stable success in recent years. Therefore, new models are being constructed. Engineer and skater Nathan Allen has invented his own self-balancing scooter – Stator – that looks really original.
So far only its working prototype, consisting of a tubular chrome-molybdenum frame and a pair of thick wheels, has been presented. On the one side of the original curved steering wheel, there is a control lever. The 1000-watt vent electric motor accelerates the scooter up to the speed of 40 km/h. The power source is the Li-Ion battery at 48 volts and 20 A/h. It is located at the bottom of the gadget. The stator can cover a distance of 32 kilometers at full charge. It is fully charged in 4 hours.
The bike weighs 41 kilograms. It can carry a passenger weighing up to 118 kilograms. Special features include disc hydraulic brakes on the front axle and three acceleration modes. The ignition is switched on with an RFID tag or the traditional key.
The developers are planning are to raise funds through Kickstarter to implement the project. It is still unknown when they start selling this electric scooter and how much it will cost.
