The Briefcase Electric Scooter is actually a working suitcase made for carrying your clothes. However, when the need arises, it folds out to become a motorized scooter capable of reaching speeds of up to 20 km/h (12 mph) and traveling 10 km (6.2 miles) on a single charge.
The Briefcase Electric Scooter boasts a quiet brushless motor hidden in its rear wheel. This runs on the lithium ion batteries also hidden out of sight, which can be charged for around 20 US cents using the compact charger included. The whole thing is the size of a standard carry-on case accepted by most airlines, and weighs in at 7.9 kg (17.4 lb).
the Briefcase Electric Scooter, is priced at US$599 for the standard model. A special model with solar panels fitted to the cover is priced at $699.

Hoy querìa hacer unas dos horas con la cannondale f29, la idea era subir contra el viento en caminos de tierra y luego volver con todo a favor cuesta y viento . Como bono querìa intentar batir mi record de bajada en el camino del altet, pero no me imaginaba que iba a conseguir el mejor tiempo de todos.
Fue curioso que a la vuelta me atacaron 2 perros , uno pequeño , nada màs dejar la carretera de torrellano
y otro grande cerca de la vaguada de la urbanizaciòn de los eucaliptos con lo que entrenè los sprints.
en total fueron 32,10 km en 1:41:41 horas a una media de 18,91 km/h y un desnivel acumulado de 153 m
Ahora el viernes tengo que entrenar parte del recorrido antes de recoger los dorsales.
el record del ceci
KOM en Pista bajada a El Altet (1:55)
1,2 km de distancia 9 m desnivel negativo al 0,7 %con un tiempo de 1:55 y una media de 37,6 km/h y el segundo se ha quedado a 3seg a media de 36,7 km/h
Primera vez que consigo un record ,(KOM) aunque es cuesta abajo , con viento a favor y sòlo hay 12 tiempos pero me hace ilusiòn ! B|

US judge dismisses attempt to sue Strava after cyclist killed while trying to recapture segment KoM
Judge rules family of William 'Kim' Flint can't sue app maker for encouraging dangerous behavior
by Simon_MacMichael June 6, 2013
A judge in San Francisco has dismissed a lawsuit against Strava brought by the family of William ‘Kim’ Flint, killed when he collided with a car on a downhill stretch of road while apparently trying to reclaim his King of the Mountain (KOM) status on the social networking and ride-tracking site.
Judge Marla Miller said: “Mr. Flint assumed the risks of bicycling and that the defendant [Strava] has shown that bicycling is an inherent risky activity,” reports Bicycle Retailer.Flint’s parents had claimed that the 41-year-old was using Strava at the time and that Strava’s app encourages dangerous behaviour and fails to warn users vying for KOM status that the road conditions are unsuitable for racing.
Strava had denied all liability, and in a statement issued yesterday, company spokesman Mark Riedy said: “The death of Kim Flint was a tragic accident and we reiterate our sincere condolences to the family.“We are extremely gratified by the judge's ruling, which demonstrates there was no case against the company.
“Every cyclist is responsible for their own safety and the safety of those around them.“We ask all athletes to exercise common sense when they are running and riding and to encourage good behaviour within the community."Strava had maintained that when Flint became a member of the site on 7 October 2009, the terms and conditions he agreed to electronically included a clause absolving Strava from liability for claims arising from a member’s use of the site.
While many Strava users log their rides to gauge their own personal progress against their training goals, it’s the competitive element introduced by the KOM leader boards that has seen the company attract criticism.Sustrans has highlighted use of Strava and similar apps as encouraging some cyclists to ride at excessive speed on shared use facilities such as the Bristol-Bath railway path and on routes through Bristol’s Ashton Court and has warned some cyclists that they need to slow down.
Earlier this week, we reported that riders so inclined can now even artificially enhance their Strava data by giving their data an artificial boost with the help of the website http://DigitalEPO.com.
