Production of the EUR4000 fold-up pedal-electric Voltitude set to begin: "The Voltitude fold-up electric scooter has an ingenious EasyFold system. Once folded, a special button on the handlebar enables you to "walk" it alongside you indoors, so you never raise a sweat in reaching a power outlet, which will fully replenish the battery inside four hours. The 25 kph (15.5 mph) electric assist Voltitude begins volume production in July with an on-line price expected in the vicinity of EUR4000."

The house actually generates three times as much energy as it uses thanks to solar panels and a host of energy saving measures."
