News from PRNewswire:

SKOKIE, Ill., Nov. 17 -- Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc. (EVT), a pioneering manufacturer of next-generation electric-powered personal transportation, is debuting a new electric-powered scooter: the ION. The ION couples innovative design engineering with the public demand for clean, responsible transportation alternatives. EVT is the first to design an all- electric, zero-emission, U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant motor scooter designed for public roads.

With the ION, riders can avoid the messy gas, oil, plugs, grease, and noisy mufflers of gas engines, and benefit from ultra-clean, smooth power. The ION is simple and smart. Riders just need to plug the charger into any common 110-volt outlet, and in a few hours the ION is fully charged and ready to go for only pennies a charge.

The ION's silent operation makes it a pleasure to ride in urban areas. "A lot of gas scooters use loud and noxious, two-stroke engines," said Ryan Adelman, marketing manager at Electric Vehicle Technologies. "People are accustomed to hearing that whining, weed-whacker noise. There's a magical feel to the ION scooter. It's incredibly powerful, in a package that's amazingly quiet."
