Cooler than your Vespa

What’s pink and silver and green all over? The GreenEmotor, an electric scooter that girlHenry promises will make you the envy of every “tree-hugging, hybrid-driving” kid your neighborhood. “It’s only a matter of time until Cameron, Justin and Leo are seen scooting around town on one of these ‘GEMS,’” she predicts. And for all us non-famous types, the lack of spendiness also makes GreenEmotor highly appealing: Since you get the equivalent of 1,350 miles per gallon, the scooter pays for itself in fuel costs after just a few months.

And then of course there’s the obvious eco-bonus: “With no oil, zero emissions and very reasonable cost,” says girlHenry, “you’ll actually be one step closer to one of those people that actually did do something for the environment.”

Who says you can’t be stylish and environmentally responsible? JC Winnie’s After Gutenberg offers up a whole rainbow of information and links, links, links on electric transportation…including news on EVT’s Ion, a very hip little scooter, with a very respectable range of 250 km on a single charge, and a maximum speed of 70 kph.
