Go-kart

Greenworks makes hundreds of indoor and outdoor power tools that run on swappable battery packs. Now the company is using those same batteries to power a new e-mobility range that will include ebikes, an electric UV and an e-minibike.

Fiido is about to return to Indiegogo with another electric ride. This time it's not a nifty folding ebike though, but a powerful off-road e-scoot/go-kart mashup called the Beast – which comes with dual motors, a big battery and full suspension.

Segway-Ninebot has rolled out a more powerful version of its electric Gokart, which will not only nudge the speedometer that little bit higher, but offer even more sideways action thanks to a new built-in drifting assistant system.

Part snowmobile, part sled and part drift kart, the Bobsla gives non-skiers something much more exhilarating to do on ski trips than sit by the lodge fireplace. The all-electric Tyrolean motor sleigh treads, slides and spins its way around the snow.

​For better or worse, you could rarely accuse Segway (now known as Segway-Ninebot) of failing to think outside the box, and the Ninebot Electric Gokart is yet another quirky contraption from the personal transportation company.
