'We recognize the demand for safe and innovative battery-powered transport systems,' said Huang, who is now CEO of Immotor.

'For some time now, most of the new electric transports are being built using heavy, old batteries – and primarily using existing product designs.'

'With Immotor GO we wanted to introduce something new, especially considering that 38% of all trips are in a personal vehicle, with a single occupant.'

'Designed from the ground up and with zero emissions, it makes travel efficient, cheap, environmentally friendly, fun and above all - smart.'

Some riders may view he Immotor GO as like any other scooter, but this new innovation is packed with high-tech features that are found in an electric car.

It comes with LED headlights, GPS tracking, cruise control, a digital accelerator and brake controls at your fingertips.

And because most people travel more than 20 miles to work, each unit includes a swappable 'Super Battery'.

This battery is designed inside a metal casing, with shock absorbing buffers between the battery cells and there is a proprietary smart connector that stops electricity from leaving the scooter.

The Super Battery is also water resistant and rain proof.

'The easily removable Super Battery modules allows for quick exchange, safe storage and multi-functional use as a standalone power station,' shares Immotor Go's recent Indiegogo campaign.

'This provides instant recharge, virtually unlimited power, and even use as a AC Plug or Light with the optional accessories.'

The firm also designed an operating system for the Super Battery 'that creates a digital handshake between device and battery'.

'The operating system is extremely powerful and enables the Immotor GO to become the smartest personal transport ever,' reads the campaign.

This technology lets user's select different power levels for custom applications.

There also a smartphone mount that lets riders play music, take videos and snap selfies without using their hands. It also comes with LED headlights, GPS tracking, cruise control, a digital accelerator and brake controls at your fingertips

ELECTRIC SCOOTERS BANNED IN CHINESE CITIES Beijing and Shanghai, China's two largest cities, have banned residents from using electric scooters and Segways on roads amid safety concerns this past August. Traffic authorities in Beijing said violators will be fined 10 Yuan (£1) starting on August 29; while the Shanghai police launched a crackdown last week on the popular modes of transport, reported the People's Daily Online. Electric scooters and Segways are getting increasingly popular among residents in large Chinese cities as a way to cope with traffic congestion. The ban applies to two-wheeled scooters as well as one-wheeled self-balancing scooters. Anyone who disobeys the law can be fined up to 50 Yuan (£5.7). According to Beijing Daily, the city's consumers association had tested more than 20 brands of electric scooters and found most of their brakes did not meet the national standard of safety. The test discovered that the braking distance of the electric scooters could be as far as 9.9 meters (32 feet). Only one brand could come to a full stop in less than four meters (13 feet), which is the Chinese national standard. In terms of Segways, they could take as long as nine seconds to stop after the riders lean backwards to slow down. Advertisement

And it wouldn't be deemed a smart scooter if you had to use your hands to control everything.

The horn, cruise-control, headlight buttons and brakes are controlled by your thumbs that are firmly positioned on the handlebars.

This feature is also linked the smartphone mount in the center of the handlebars, which lets riders take pictures and videos without using their hands.

The system includes an accompanied app that lets riders use their smartphone as a wireless key for the scooter and customize the horn and lights using the technology.

The team at Immotor Go also notes that they will 'continue to work on future upgrades utilizing Immotor GO built-in sensors, accelerators and other hardware capabilities, so you can expect future improvements down the road'.
