City slickers are going to love the Peugeot XB1. The Peugeot XB1 is a conceptual scooter powered by electricity and designed to cover short distances on the sidewalk or street.
The Peugeot XB1 was designed by Thierry Fischer, Kévin Biolluz, Karim Bennani and Frédéric Le Sciellour. The Peugeot XB1 can seat one person and is powered by an electric motor that can hit 35km/h on the street and 15km/h on the sidewalk.
The Peugeot XB1 is built for today's generation with an integrated smartphone app that displays everything from the current GPS location to route suggestions. Designers are increasingly skewing away from larger vehicles and designing small, single-seat electric rides. I for one welcome the change--I was never a fan of carpooling. Ever.
