Think of the URB-E ($1,500) as the hybrid of electric-powered personal people movers, according to BlessThisStuff.com. Sure, "it looks quirky," but if you don't mind turning heads, you might appreciate the bicycle-style seating position and scooterlike portability. It charges in four hours, has a range of 20 miles, and can reach 15 mph. Plus, because it folds down and weighs only 35 pounds, you can easily bring it with you on a train or bus — a capability that "greatly enlarges your radius of action." Made in the U.S. and available in multiple colors, it's a fun, portable, eco-friendly ride. "What more could you ask?"
