This electric scooter can fit into a backpack and be inflated for use. The Poimo gets its name from ' portable, inflatable mobility '. Researchers from the University of Tokyo designed it for short trips. Hiroki Sato: I first thought about developing a mobility device or distance between the train station and workplace, where there’s some distance but no public transportation. It takes about 2 minutes to inflate the 10kg (22lbs) scooter. It can run for 90 minutes at 15km/h (9.3mph). The design of the vehicle can also be customized. Hiroki Sato: As you can see, Poimo can be built into different shapes. With this, I hope we can make it in the shape each person wants. For example, a shape that is suitable for a person’s height so that we can offer the most suitable mobility device for that person.
