The company has revealed a new electric motorbike called the M Scooter, which the company claims can fold up into about half its size for easier storage.

In riding mode, the scooter measures 40.3 x 25.8 x 43.7 in (102.4 x 65.5 x 111 cm), but the rear wheels, steering column and seat fold together into a much tidier 38.3 x 20.5 x 30.9 in (97.3 x 52.1 x 78.5 cm). It will still weigh a hefty 70 lbs (31.8 kg) of course, so you probably won't be carrying it all over town like a piece of luggage, but it will fit nicely into the trunk of a car or under a desk.</p> <p>The whole scooter is powered by a Li-ion 36 V 10 Ah battery which takes about 2 to 5 hours to charge depending on the type of charger used. With its 250 W DC brushless hub motor, drivers can reach a top speed of 15 mph (24 km/h), making it more suited for urban environments. On a full charge, the battery provides enough energy for 2 to 4 hours of driving time, giving the scooter a range of 12 to 15 miles (19 to 24 km).</p> <div style="width: 530px; height: 217px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20140817013755/http://www.gizmag.com/acton-collapsible-electric-m-scooter/29117/pictures#6" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/acton-m-scooter-5.jpg" width="530" alt="In riding mode, the scooter measures 40.3 x 25.8 x 43.7 in (102.4 x 65.5 x 111 cm), but th..."/></a></div> <p>Riders can either stand on the base plate or pull out the retractable seat and sit down while driving the scooter. There's even enough space to fit two people, one sitting and one standing, provided their combined weight is less than 300 lbs (136 kg). The M Scooter also employs an all-wheel braking system for smoother stops and a pair of LED headlights for driving in poorly lit areas. The company also plans to offer a few additional accessories, such as a front cargo container and a horn.</p> <p>A rep confirmed that the company plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign in October to bring it into mass production. Pre-orders for the the scooter should open up at around the same time, though no specific release date has been pinned down just yet. Once it becomes available to purchase however, the new electric scooter will have a price tag of US$1,799.</p> <p>In the meantime, Acton has posted a demonstration video on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755/http://vimeo.com/73738836" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755/http://www.actonglobal.com/" target="_blank">Acton</a></p>  <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/acton-collapsible-electric-m-scooter/29117/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/acton-collapsible-electric-m-scooter/29117/"></div></div> <div class="as_button stumble_as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Facton-collapsible-electric-m-scooter%2F29117%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/acton-collapsible-electric-m-scooter/29117/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/acton-m-scooter.png" data-description="Following the success of its spnKiX motorized skates, Acton, Inc. recently revealed a new electric motorbike called the M Scooter, which the company claims can fold up into about half its size for easier storage."></div></div> <div class="as_button"><script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script></div> <div class="as_button" id="reddit_button_bar"><script type="text/javascript">reddit_newwindow='1'</script></div>  </div>   <div id="fm-well-zone" data-cb-ad-id="Content Well 1"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755js_/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> </div> <div id="bottom_unit" data-cb-ad-id="Content Well 2"></div>  <div style="margin-bottom: 20px"> <div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/acton-collapsible-electric-m-scooter/29117/" data-widget-id="AR_1" data-ob-template="Gizmag"></div> <script type="text/javascript" async="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755js_/http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrain.js"></script> </div> </div>  <span class="title clear_left" id="author_byline_title">About the Author</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="authorcontainer">  <a href="/web/20140817013755/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jonathan-fincher/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140817013755im_/http://images.gizmag.com/author_profiles/160.jpg" alt="Jonathan Fincher" id="bio_pic"/> </a>   Jonathan grew up in Norway, China, and Trinidad before graduating film school and becoming an online writer covering green technology, history and design, as well as contributing to video game news sites like Filefront and 1Up.
