Behold the unfortunately-named E-Cooter, a four-wheeled, single-person electric car, something like a cross between a Vespa and a Mini. It can rotate 360 degrees and has cameras installed on all sides for such maneuvering. The
E-Cooter (hey, I’m sort of getting used to typing that now) has a lithium battery with a 62-mile range.

Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute isn’t quite ready to open the E-Cooter to the public, but they’re looking into leasing options.

Hmm, in this country we have a name for people who rent out their cooters.
