A Dutch engineer makes the world's smallest electric scooter, which can be folded into a work bag in 10 seconds --
Or pulled like a big briefcase.
However, despite the small size of the motorcycle, it can reach 12 miles per hour (19 km/h ).
The height of the scooter is 4 feet (125 cm) and 3 feet (97 cm) when the rider uses the vehicle ).
But it can be folded to a height of 1 feet cm (32 cm) and 1 feet 10 inch (57 cm) long-small enough to be hidden in a bag, suitable for the seat below, or in the overhead compartment on the train.
It weighs 26 lbs (12 kg lbs) and has a range of almost 10 miles (16 km miles) before the battery needs to be charged ).
Electric vehicles are equipped with lithium-ion batteries and permanent magnet brushless engines.
Anton Schaap, mechanical engineer from Hilversum, Netherlands, said: As far as we know, this is the most compact vehicle in folding state.
It can be folded in 10 seconds or expanded in 10 seconds. The 53-year-
When the company he worked for planned to move from the train station to a new place, the old man came up with the idea of compact vehicles.
Most of the staff are going to work by train, he said, so I'm figuring out a way to get 5 miles (8 km) from the train station to the new office ).
Schaap hopes that the charging time will be a few hours when the motorcycle is ready for sale, and it is estimated that it will take about £ 800 ($1,350 ).
'We have planned a speed of 12 miles (19 kilometers) per hour, but according to local regulations, it may also be faster or slower, 'he said.
"It's great because it's compact and clean, so you can put it in your house or office without getting dirty inside and taking up too much space.
"This prototype is not the final production design, but we expect the charging time to be about a few hours, comparable to your phone.
The price depends to a large extent on the quantity that can be produced.
The larger the number, the lower the price.
