Description

AN ELECTRIC LUGGAGE SCOOTER

BACKGROUND An electric scooter or an electric kick scooter is a powered stand-up scooter using an electric motor. Both the electric scooter and the electric kick scooter are referred as the electric scooter herein. The electric scooter typically has two wheels, but examples of 3- or 4-wheel scooters are known. Electric scooters are practical vehicles for short range transportation. However, when the user desires to carry luggage, the conventional electric scooter has limited means. The luggage may render the ride very uncomfortable or even dangerous, as users are forced to carry luggage in a backpack or hang the luggage on a handlebar. For typical daily commodities, such as groceries, people have often chosen another transportation method than the electric scooter. Currently available luggage scooters or cargo scooters are known to provide luggage space in front of the handlebar. That increases the total length of the electric scooter — such solutions may be too big to fit standardized bike/scooter O . . . . . . S parking racks or bike spaces reserved in trains, thereby reducing the practical K use of the electric scooter.
