New Go-Ped high performance stealth scooter could fight crime, traffic — Autoblog Green

It seems Go-Ped has a new secret weapon. An improved variant of their Hoverboard that could help fighting both crime and traffic was just revealed to the company's Facebook fans. The prototype high performance portable patrol vehicle (PPV) takes the fully-suspended American-made stand-up scooter, upgrades most of the components and adds some cool options.

The scooter features one full kilowatt hour (kWh) worth of lithium battery to provide the juice for the T2V3 Torkinator motor that we hear was originally developed for "Robot Wars." The new power plant, combined with a higher sprocket ratio, can take the stealth machine to speeds of 30 miles per hour and handle a 300 lb rider (no doughnut jokes, please). Disk brakes front and back should provide plenty of stopping power. Range is said to be 30 miles and it comes with a nifty wireless remote "Go-Key" to get your journeys started.
