Called POIMO INT032 (POrtable and Inflatable MObility), this electric scooter prototype comes with two wheels up front and two at the rear, an electric motor, battery pack and a handlebar with a wireless controller integrated into it. Everything is detachable for maximum portability. In fact, you can carry the whole thing in your rucksack as it weighs only 5.5kg altogether. Using a portable air pump, you can inflate the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) structure to about 6-7 psi. It doubles up as a ‘chassis’ when inflated, and voila! Your electric scooter is ready.
Good news is if you bump into any pedestrians the inflatable body may absorb some of the impact, right?

It's gotta be the dorkiest thing I've seen in a while though.
