Original story link is dead But that's Make's coverage....

IIRC
Range: 7 miles
Top Speed: 18 mph

The maker said it's really not practical for long commutes - but perfect for a fleet of delivery scooters.

forgot the photo


I wonder if he fills the tanks to their rated psi.... High pressure air isn't something everyone has easy access too...
Interesting idea but so impractable. 7 miles with a top speed of 18. Just ride a bike. I wouldn't want to jump any curbs with it. Bike couriers would smoke it with little or no maintenance to deal with.

Probably a fun project though.
