The vehicle is rather expensive, but does a bunch of stuff

There are some weird tendencies nowadays: cars start to look like motorbikes, while scooters tend to resemble cars. It's a mad world out there, but this might be the scooter version of Easy Rider. And it definitely takes the street scooter concept to another level. The Shoprider Flagship Enclosed Scooter provides a comfortable easy way of transportation, but most of all, it does its job regardless of the weather conditions.

Besides that, the looking doors provide a high level of security and they can actually be totally removed when the weather is fine.

The vehicle measures 67 x 73 x 30 inches and weights no more than 525 pounds. Its technical specification details mention 20 speed settings. Dubbed "Flagship", the device comes packed with a fully-operating lighting system, as well as full suspension for a great ride to the mall and back.

In fact, this vehicle is so cool, it even features a wide screen wiper/washer system with reservoir. Forget the fact that it's not bigger than a regular scooter. This fellow can resists up to 360 kilos passengers weight.

As for its charging option, the Flagship uses off board 3, 4 or 8 charger and an output of the engine of 2(1492)HP(w), whatever that means. Other specs in the technical list mention a turning radius of 70(1780) in (mm) and a total weight of 149 kilos, half of what it can carry.

What I like most about this transportation vehicle is its wacky shape, resembling that of a squashed car. Revealing electrifying red or blue body color, the scooter can be quite a dandy accessory for the busy Frenchmen that don't like to get their expensive suits splattered with bird pooh. And since the same Frenchmen can surely afford fancy scooters, I guess a 7000 bucks price tag shouldn't be that spicy after all! Meanwhile, before buying it, you take a closer look at it:
