Easyglider - the electric tricycle

A new idea! Stephan Soder, a figure skater, has designed a new way to commute - a 12mph electric tricycle. It is called the Easyglider! He built the first one in his garage with a small petrol motor. Now a commercial version is also available.

The commercial version is called the Easyglider X6 which riders can use with a skateboard or roller-blades or stand on a two-wheeled rear platform. It features an electric-powered front wheel, a handbrake, a headlight, and three power levels. Optional extras include a music system, complete with a pair of mini speakers.

To use the Easyglider, you simply turn it on, stand on the platform and twist the throttle. The Easyglider sells at £699, with a kids' version available for £399. Link
