I'm reading the smart ped kick scooter but I don't have to kick because it's got a powered rear wheel now there's no throttle on the smart ped all my speed is controlled by how fast I can kick this up and I don't have to kick very often because as soon as I get to speed the powered rear wheel takes over and keeps me going holds a steady speed however fast I can get it up to to stop I just hit the brakes and then I just kick it to get going again and it holds it steady speed with 16-inch pneumatic tires the ride is also really good the smart ped has a steel frame weighs about 25 pounds and you can fold down these handlebars to make it portable that way you can bring it up to your office or onto public transportation but the secret sauce is this rear smart wheel here all the electronics are located in this hub there's a 250 watt motor there's a twenty nine point six volt lithium-ion battery and takes about three hours to charge through a little port here and there's a waterproof hub that'll get you about eighteen to thirty miles which is more than enough range for a scooter and there's a Bluetooth transmitter here that'll connect to your smartphone fly the company of the make smart pad offers an app called bit ride you can download that now for iOS or Android that'll actually track the routes you use and give you suggestions for better routes it'll also show your remaining range and it includes an immobilizer will actually lock this rear wheel with a pin code Wi-Fi is offering the smart ped through a Kickstarter campaign so you can get this basic model for eight hundred dollars or you can go up to a premium mile for nine hundred fifty dollars that folds in three places making it even more portable and includes lights and a kickstand
