A Smart, Electric Scooter For Asia

A Japanese start-up company that focuses on light, electric vehicles aims to change the way millions of Asians get around, reinventing the much-loved, seemingly ubiquitous scooter into one that runs on electric power and is hooked into handy programs that run on smartphones.
