I had the pleasure of test driving this little wonder while visiting Real Goods in Los Angeles, CA. I had heard these scooters were creating quite a stir so I couldn't wait to try one out. The Zappy is a fun little package that can travel up to 13mph, which is plenty fast when you're riding on sidewalks! They're foldable and can be toted in a backpack, stuffed in your trunk, or even slid under your desk at school. Praises: robust design, catchy styling, easy to use, nice soft-start safety feature, fairly light-weight for an electric vehicle, INEXPENSIVE. Complaints: gotta get used to the sudden jolt at start up, flex steering column made me lose my balance (although it would be easy to adapt to). You can't deny it's fun and INEXPENSIVE! You can buy one of these for around $400 from Zapworld.com. (Copyright 2001 by JClaw Enterprises)
