Re-Defining the Personal Mobility Scooter

When I was at CNET we were obsessed with “Rascals” or personal mobility scooters. We would send away for literature and post pics on our office doors. Don’t ask me why. But I couldn’t help but marvel at this new concept design for a new and much improved mobility device.

This concept design by Ji-Hoon Hong features an adjustable seat that can rotate and elevate. It also has indicator lights and a more aerodynamic body shape.

: Makes getting old look zoomy and it doesn’t say “meet me at the mall” nearly as much. What do you think?

    Aerodynamics are important when my mother is trying to beat the other duffers to the dining room at the Senior’s home. They might consider adding bumpers!
