Ridin’ Dirty With MIT’s RoboScooter

MIT’s created their ideal version of transportation for those who’ve been watching too many RoboCop reruns on Spike TV—the RoboScooter. The super compact vehicle is entirely electric, with removable li-ion batteries; which is awesome, since gas prices are always on the rise. On the downside, it isn’t self-folding, the steering controls are traditional handlebars, and we doubt you’ll be able to blast the “Ruff Ryders Anthem” from the buggy since it doesn’t look like it’s equipped with an iPod hookup or any radio/music source for that matter. Swizz Beatz will be brokenhearted. The RoboScooter is set to hit Asian markets as early as next year.
