Designer Rizki Tarisa has created an awe inspiring sustainable product. Her Kick Scooter comes with all the features you would expect out of a green vehicle but its not just limited to that and has more advantages than you could possibly find in other contemporary designs. The ‘Scootah’ Kick Scooter, as the name suggest, is human powered and it is built using recycled materials. Rizki gathered all the materials from junkyards and built this unique Kick Scooter.
The designer has created the product just for college students and perhaps this is exactly why the vehicle is so compact, so that it could be used around the campus. Scootah, or the Kick Scooter enables balance and stability and comes with 3 wheels. The funny thing is that the Scootah can be folded and converted to a trolley or a carrier.
It is also easy and comfortable to carry around bags, books and other things that college students usually need. However, this does not mean the vehicle isn’t agile or fast enough. The Scootah can move really fast around the campus. It would be great to see such a cool green vehicle concept being manufactured.

When you think of human powered scooters what comes to mind? Most will think of different forms of bikes. There is the bicycle, unicycle, and tricycle. Did you also consider these vehicles? A motorless human-powered scooter is disclosed having a sturdy frame with a fixed position rear wheel and a steerable fork which carries a steerable front wheel. The front and rear wheels are substantially equal in diameter and each has a diameter of about one-third the total length of the scooter. A preferred manner for attaching the scooter’s main tube to its bottom tube and deck is disclosed.
