The Thunderbolt Electric Scooter Concept by Henrik Björkman does not break new grounds when it comes to technological advances, but this sexy environment-friendly scooter has a loud and clear message for you. Down with combustible engines! The scooter's design emphasizes a curvy hole where the engine is traditionally placed. The result is a not-so-subtle protest against combustible engine use. The Thunderbolt has a range of around 70 KM/H on a three hour charge.
