Each week, we spotlight a cool innovation recommended by some of the industry's top tech writers. This week's pick is a long-range electric scooter.

The Dutch electric-scooter company Etergo has developed a model with a range of 240 kilometers (about 150 miles), said Micah Toll at Electrek. That's five times the range of most current scooters. The vehicle, called the AppScooter, has three batteries that fit under the floorboard; it will also operate with just one, so you can commute on a single battery while leaving the others at home for more cargo space.
