Bizarre custom-made vehicle can be yours for £2,400 - PHOTO

Segways and Vespas are two of the most distinctive vehicles on the roads.But now a Catalonian company has created the ultimate attention-seeking machine – a Segway that has been clad in Vespa parts.Modified using real panels from iconic Piaggio scooters, the 'Zero Scooter' can be customised in different colours and is on sale for €2,899 (£2,400 or almost $4,000).While the Zero Scooter might at first glance look like a funny-shaped Vespa, it is also recognisable as a Segway – the self-balancing, battery-powered electric vehicle that was first unveiled in 2001.The Spanish scooter is electric, built by hand and can be customised by colour and finish, as well as by adding logos.The vehicle has a top speed 12.4mph (20kmp) and can carry 180kg.Bel & Bel, the Catalonian design house behind the quirky vehicle, claims it is the only scooter able to climb slopes up to 30° and can turn 360° on the spot thanks to its two independent motors.Because the scooter is electric it is environmentally friendly and virtually silent, despite resembling a classic petrol scooter designed in 1946.Its designers claim it is easier to use than an ordinary Segway as the personal vehicle does not move under foot or lean when a person first climbs on, instead remaining completely stable.The steering column can be adjusted to suit people of different heights and the designers believe the machine can be mastered in just 10 minutes – from moving forward, turning, and stopping.Available from Maxihobby, the production time for the vehicle is around 15 days, but the company typically takes around six weeks to complete a vehicle from start to delivery, Inventor Spot reported.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
