The Lightfoot electric scooter is wrapped in solar panels to address range anxiety
A scooter that soaks up the sun.
The company, which describes itself as an “independent research & design lab” bringing “new solutions in renewable energy,” is planning to make the Lightfoot available for preorder starting today. Underneath those solar panels you’ll also find 1.5 cubic feet of weatherproof and lockable storage which the company says is “comparable in size to a carry-on suitcase.” The scooter is also built using “off-the-shelf, highly rated parts” with the goal of making it low maintenance and easy to repair. For those who like the idea of commuting to work, or even running errands, using an electric scooter but are anxious about the risk of being stranded by their relative limited ranges, the Lightfoot could bring some peace of mind.
