Filling the gaps between Point A to Point B transportation, ZAP has finally found the middle road. The new ZAPINO Electric Scooter is a great link between ZAP's personal transporters and electric cars. Not only economical and non-pollutant, the ZAPINO Electric Scooter is also powerful with an advanced 3000-watt brushless DC hub motor, perfect for city commuting. Able to reach speeds of about 30 mph, you will be able to keep up with city traffic without contributing to city pollution. The hub motor in the rear wheel creates more room on-board for additional batteries, greater functionality and performance.
