You can take out the battery and charge it wherever you go with a charger supplied - it costs only a few pence for a full recharge and Zipee recommends the use of sustainable energy supplier Good-Energy.

A Zippe <a href="http://electricscootersworld.com/" rel="nofollow">scooter</a> comes with its own style and design. A quick charge will take approx 8 hours. With the cost of petrol what could possibly make more sense than a non polluting, joyful way to get around..! Zippe scooters are cleaner and definitely a lot more fun!

In Shanghai, when I was there in January, I was told they had outlawed new scooters and folks could only buy electric bicycles. Too bad they forgot that they have to burn coal to generate that electricity.

Didn't get to try one when I was there though, so I don't know about top speed or other useful details, but judging by the number of shops selling them, they're pretty popular over there already!

Distance travelled per charge, top speed, and will it be available in the USA... are questions that aren't addressed on the website. If available in the USA and elsewhere... it might be a winner. It's priced very favorably and only requires a standard 3 prong electric outlet to charge. Battery reliability and Lifecycle info would also be a good things to know ? Side baskets for groceries, etc. would also be a nice option. Zippee ! Interesting.
