Yugo


No, this has nothing to do with the car by the same name, or Yugoslavia. It is a scooter located with a cell phone application for You-Go anywhere you like. It is designed to look like an old Vespa scooter, but these are all electric, no gas motor. The cell phone app is used to open the trunk where there are two crash helmets and activate the ignition switch on the scooter. Jump on and You-Go. This is a project of two young men from Barcelona who only make these available in this one city. This is perfect nonpolluting urban transportation where distances are not great and parking for car is nonexistent.
