Econogo is a UK company that has launched an electric scooter called the Yogo available in 50cc and 100cc engine sizes and is the world’s first electric scooter that is powered by removable batteries.

Using a detachable and portable lithium battery will make recharging a much simpler and a faster task (it takes just one hour, far less that other batteries that take from 4 to 8 hours) and you can store a charged spare that can double your mileage range.

Econogo claims that the Yogo’s 11kg 50V battery will power the scooter for 22 miles with top speeds of 30mph and 40mph respectively.

Prices start at £1,999 and for more info just click here.

This bling bling studded Kymco”Mitch” scooter was featured at the at this year’s 37th Tokyo Motorcycle show. 100,000 Swarovski crystals went into this piece of craftmenship and we bet that if it was ever ridden on the road it would certainly turn several heads, as Devas Bling’s Harley Davidson Sportster Nightster did.

Check out this surveillance video from Wenzhou, China and learn the new way to stop scooter riding thieves.

This guy is my hero!

Check out MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo who gives El Follonero, from Salvados Spanish TV show an adventurous, but slow ride on his very vintage scooter with matching sidecar along the streets of Barcelona.

Between slight mechanical difficulties, billowing smoke and getting stopped by the cops and almost rear ending a car and forgetting about a red light, the Spanish duo arrive safely at the station so El Follonero can catch his train.

The Tokyo Motor Show is an opportunity for the big four motorcycle manufacturers (due to the economic situation, Kawasaki isn’t going to be present this year) to show off their new models and for us to see what they’re up to with ideas for the future of two wheel transportation.

Besides the Gladius 400 ABS Suzuki will also be exhibiting the Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter, step further from their hydrogen prototype Crosscage that they revealed in the 2007 show.

The fuel cell is air-cooled and concomitantly light, compact, and structurally simple. A 70MPa hydrogen tank (the highest-pressure tank used on a bike thus far) allows a usable riding range. And the tank is mounted within a robust frame for safety.

After the jump check out the Crosscage from 2007.
