Video: The Citysurfer Concept in Motion and Explained
The Citysurfer concept scooter is one of the more interesting things MINI has done recently and perhaps one of the most underrated. But that’s our opinion. What’s yours? Watch MINI explain the concept and take the scooter around LA and let us know in the comments.
<p>I was all disappointed that when I went to the Auto Show they said that they didn’t have the scooter there anymore, it was only there for the press release!</p>
<p>As a cyclists, transit user and MINI enthusiast, I’m a huge fan of multi-modal transportation. This scooter could be a brilliant addition to that. I do wish the range was a bit further (mostly since my commute is about 15 miles).</p>
<p>Also, folks need to watch out. Some cities may have issue with personal electric vehicles – especially when sharing the bicycle infrastructure. Check with local ordinances before using these on the streets.</p>
<p>Finally, the beginning of the video alluded to ‘cue jumping’ which happens quite often in urban environments. Check with the city ordinances about that. I personally think it’s lame.</p>
