The Lightfoot scooter comes with two large solar panels so it doesn’t have to plug in.

        The article said the size of a carry-on luggage, so a bit bigger than a backpack.

      indeed have not seen anything like it before… are current solar panels able to handle that kind of wear and tear though? Also seems uncomfortable

    Vertically mounted panels and parked outside in the street? It will not even start charging. Then they have the side panel open downwards, what a missed opportunity: rotate it the other direction and the solar cells can be optimally directed to the sun.

      And then it also can fly.
