Hungarian Foldable Scooter to Go

Foldable Scooter To Go

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Monika Leave a comment

First time I saw the concept of this foldable scooter, I thought it was one of those things that might be reality in about 50 years. But no, this will be very much reality in the near future! The city scooter, Moveo weighs as much as a regular e-bike (about 25 kg), it is foldable and so it does not need any parking spot. It can be folded in two minutes – without getting greasy fingers – and the seat can be taken off to carry it as a rucksack. If this is not ingenious, then I really do not know what is . . .

The company behind Moveo foldable scooter is the Antro Group (Alternative Resources and Vehicles Development), a Hungarian company specialized in development of environment-friendly means of transportation. Vision of the company is to develop concepts using state-of-the-art materials and technologies to substantially reduce the weight of vehicles while keeping safety and comfort level very high that we are generally accustomed to. “Antro’s mission is to create a truly human and environmentally friendly, full value alternative to current means of transport – that is developed and manufactured in Hungary.”

One of the recent concepts developed by experts at Antro Group is Moveo, the ultra-light foldable electric scooter made of light carbon fiber composite body in an organic shape design. Moveo is considered as a new class on the scooter market due to its foldable characteristic. In terms of its technical aspects, Moveo is about as light as an e-bike, however it can speed up to 35-45 km/h and in its folded state it is as big as a suitcase. Due to its foldable nature, Moveo does not necessarily need a parking spot and can also be transported with other means of transportation such as cars, vans, yachts, etc. Furthermore, it has electric built-in motors in both wheels, it charges within one hour and lasts for a distance of approx. 35 km (2 kWh/100 km), while battery life is estimated at about 35.000 km.

Production start is scheduled for 2014 in Hungary and the short-term target price of Moveo is said to be about EUR 3.200 in the first year. However, on the mid-term – given the higher number of ordered and produced units and lower average costs - price will be reduced to about EUR 2.400, which is clearly a competitive price point compared to the currently available e-bikes. Having said that, the time of trendsetters has come, if they want to stay ahead of the pack: Moveo already has an order list and takes further pre-orders for its first lot of production. Potential customers can contact the company via email.

In order to finalize the Moveo development as well as to start the serial production in a manufacturing plant in Hungary, Antro Group is in talks with potential partners and offers an exciting investment opportunity to interested investors. Given the intellectual property legal protection of the Moveo design, technology as well as its foldable nature by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), for competitors and/or copy cats the barrier to enter this niche market is very high. Currently, Moveo is the sole player in the foldable electric scooter segment and thanks to its visually pleasing look & feel as well as its environment-friendly nature it is very likely that it will be a sought-after lifestyle product among urban people.

Target group is considered wide as Moveo can serve the needs of commuters by car or public transport, tourists driving mobile homes and caravans, yacht owners, hotels, charter ships, rental companies, big floor-space business and service units – just to mention a few – and of course city residents, whose apartments come without a protected garage space. Moveo will be available in different colors – such as mustard yellow, blue, silver and black – to match clients’ lifestyles. Environment-friendly transportation is part of the worldwide mega trends and personally I think this could definitely be the next big thing on the electricity driven means of transport market. Although my next article tomorrow will cover a similar initiative – so stay tuned . . .

When I saw in the future on the 1st timeline in Switzerland around 7000 Ad a personal helicopter that was basically solar powered it reminded me a lot of this foldable device because these future personal helicopters were foldable too and very lightweight and made out of something resembling Kevlar like Soldiers helmets are often made out of now as well as bulletproof vests. In other words a type of plastic stronger and lighter than steel. note: Supposedly in Corso's "The Day After Roswell" the craft from Roswell was covered with a substance like Kevlar stretched sort of like a sail over the whole surface of the craft that was stronger than steel. And the Kevlar we now have on earth was Reverse engineered form that. Here is some of what I wrote about the helicopter I saw in action:

Solar powered human manned Helicopters 70th Century

When I first listened to Elohar's mind and she was thinking about having her own personal solar powered helicopter I envisioned something like a Flying Vespa because she was in Nice, France. However, after sort of mind melding more with her as an intuitive I could see the real 70th Century first time line (pre 2001. The two timelines split then on 9-11). However, as my mind melded more into the 70th century I got a much firmer picture of what this (flying Vespa) actually was. And it is mostly different than other helicopters of today.

I'll try to describe it in a useful way. It is constructed a lot of what I would call Super Kevlar. It can compact into something under 50 to 75 pounds and can be carried like a backpack. As long as the sun is out there is no range limit, only the concentration of the rider and driver as a pilot. So when I finally saw it for what it was I was very surprised. The whole thing can be 6 ft tall and 2 foot wide by 1 foot wide and some can even be folded into three foot by 2 foot by 2 foot in size for packing and hiking so one could hike in with it as a backpack and then fly out or vice versa to almost any location weather permitting.

Next, computers and artificial intelligence have evolved to the point where the helicopter is sentient. So it can automatically spread its rotors and then string solar panels in a circle between them if there is no or little wind and plenty of sun. Of course it is stationary waiting to be ridden when it does this. But if one decides to deploy the kevlar frame around the rider for bumpy or windy flight then the see through plastic panels of kevlar double as solar cells in flight. So the rider can ride enclosed or not as he or she chooses. If a pilot was seat belted in and injured or unconscious the helicopter can fly him or her home.

So the most popular models in the 70th Century are portable and backpackable and are sentient and can fly you out of anywhere if you are sick or drunk or incapacitated in any way. And the helicopter will automatically know if something is wrong with you because it checks your vital signs before it will allow you to fly it.

So, for example on a sunny day you are backpacking somewhere on a mountain and you are carrying this 50 to 75 pound sentient backpack that folds out into a solar powered helicopter. Whenever you stopped or even when you were walking if it was convenient or useful or both the helicopter folded out a solar array as you were hiking if there was no wind to maximize battery life in case there was an emergency during the night and it had to fly you out. So as you are backpacking early in the morning there is still plenty of battery power from the day before. So you ask it to unfurl into a bicycle seat and back with a standard shoulder strap and seat belt. Because it is a beautiful day you don't need to be covered by anything or to be enclosed because of bad weather. So you lift off with your other friends each on their own solar powered helicopter. You were all backpacking with in the Alps, or Rockies or Andes or Himalayas or plains or deserts or along the beach or lake or river or wherever and as long as you are aware of up and down drafts around mountains you safely fly home 100 to 600 miles that day or more given the right tailwinds. If the wind or sun hurts your eyes you can deploy a helmet  with a built in face shield. If you get cold from flying at high altitude or just from weather you can deploy the kevlar see through shell that acts as a very small cabin around you.

The most popular model is the single passenger but there are models that carry two or more as well. However, the two passenger model breaks down into two backpacks and beyond that they don't usually break down unless custom made for you to do that.

As I went over in my mind what was needed for this to be feasible in this century, (the 21st) all the potential  elements needed were there. For example, even now Kevlar is being used because it is 6 times stronger than steel and much lighter in the outer shell of the newest blimps that will be used for military reconnaisance  and 20,000 foot high GPS mobile platforms. So Kevlar makes perfect sense to make something lightweight and strong. The Roswell ship is supposed to have had something like Kevlar covering the outside of it. So that is likely where we got it from according to Colonel Corso in his book "The Day After Roswell".

So, then the other three things needed would be higher level artificial intelligence, lighter and more powerful and dependable electric motors with a lot of torque for spinning a big rotor at high speeds. Probably a metal or light weight Kevlar rotor or composite of both metal and Kevlar. And the next generations of super efficient solar cells. Since solar cells are moving forward about as fast as Computer chips did during the 80s, 90s, and the first 10 years of this century it won't be long before this will all be possible.

later: I realized one day later that all the outer "skin" of the helicopter is a type of solar cell. So if the battery power for any reason goes below 1/4 battery power the helicopter becomes stationary in the air for a moment (if you are presently flying) while it deploys extra cells by deploying the portable bubble or small one man cabin that is very aerodynamic for cutting through the air. This surface area increases the external surface by 10 or 20 times and thereby increases potential solar gathering that much too. If the helicopter goes below 1/8th battery power it simply lands and deploys its full solar area on the top between the blades and pivots them towards the sun until it reaches at least 1/2 battery power again. So even as the helicopter is flying the blades even are covered with solar cells. So literally ALL surface area are solar cells and collectors. The type of solar cells they use are a combination of solar cells and battery combined. So no battery other than the outer surface area is required. This is why the weight can be limited to 50 to 75 pounds depending upon the power plant (horsepower of the electrical motor). The faster you want to travel the heavier the unit needs to be. A 75 pound unit travels 200 miles per hour. A 50 pound unit travels between 100 and 150 mph much like a Cessna 152 or other private plane. However, the advantage of taking off from literally anywhere, and as long as there is sun one could literally travel around the world in a few weeks (mainly overland) is a really great advantage if you are traveling alone or in groups of helicopters.

Note: Though the helicopter could be a hybrid it likely would be too heavy to pack in on one's back and might need to be parachuted in or driven into a flying location on a truck. By combining Solar cell and battery combined units with a small gasoline engine, as long as you had either sun or enough gasoline you could fly this thing day or night as long as the weather was permitting.

Also, As I looked at it more closely it didn't have a rear rotor, instead the tripod landing gear also had a reverse rotor effect.So it had a gyroscopic stabilizing effect on the helicopter. So it behaved like a much bigger stabler vehicle while being very light and maneuverable. So when the above rotor blade went one direction the landing tripod which was actually a smaller thing with 3 blades which each ended with about an 8 inch sphere of Kevlar or metal Kevlar combo spun (one inch after takeoff the opposite direction as the rotor above one's head. The opposite thing happened during landing that about 1 inch before landing the lower blade (landing tripod) stopped rotating and remained completely stationary with one pod forward and two to the sides for perfect support on level ground. Also, for landing in other conditions extra supports could be deployed of various kinds.  In a flight extreme emergency the rotors would separate and go down with their own parachutes to be recovered later and one of two emergency chutes would be vertically deployed for safe descent of pilot and helicopter if above 600 to 1000 feet from ground. Because of this most pilots flew on average of about 2500 feet from the ground unless they were trying to fly fast to a distant location and then often flew around 7000 feet to 12,000 feet depending upon whether they had a small oxygen tank if the altitude made them sleepy or not. Or if the helicopter was flying itself through Artificial intelligence the pilot might just sleep or pass out if there was no danger of brain damage from the altitude while the pilot was unconscious. However, most people who used this type of vehicle tended to be 12 to 35 years of age and most of these people were pretty healthy and would be okay up to 20,000 feet in altitude depending upon the lung capacity of the person and what they were used to in their lives and the conditions they normally lived in.

The vehicle does have a fish tail like stabilizer behind the pilot. It is designed to work well aerodynamically at any speed up to 200 mph or beyond and with or without the self deployed cockpit made of see through Kevlar.

As I thought more about this helicopter and looked inside Elohar's mind as well as the minds who designed it during the 69th and 70th centuries I began to see the logic of the invention. First of all, if you were living on a planet where most humans on the 1st earth timeline have been modified by continuous exposure to nuclear radiation from nuclear blasts you have major genetic damage so most people are animals not civilized anymore. However, you still need in Europe where ways have been found to cleanse the radiation out of the genome as much as possible where people are now much like today on earth in that area at least. So the solar powered helicopter would make sense for prospectors to fly to uncivilized locations to scout for minerals to be mined. Since the locals in most of those areas are no longer intelligent beyond about what wolves are because of radiation exposure by sending robots in to mine wouldn't be a real problem to obtain metals needed for a technological civilization in europe based in Switzerland at altitude to prevent unnecessary wind exposure to radiation dust. Though some exposure occurs and the rain always brings the radiation to earth much of the effects can be managed in order to maintain a technological civilization and culture out of Switzerland which was a neutral country in 2001 when the world nuclear snafu occured on the first time line.

Note: a conversation between a sentient helicopter and a pilot as the pilot walks along a trail in the Alps:
"Pilot?" The male or female pilot who is hiking the trail then says "Yes" or "Oui" or "Ya" or "Da" or whatever language the pilot wants to speak. The helicopter can talk in about 10 basic languages at that point. The limitation of languages is that most people who speak other languages on that timeline have been dead for 5000 years.

So, once again, "Pilot?" "Yes. (or an equivalent)" "May I unfurl the solar array to generate power as we walk? There are no current breezes and I will compensate if any come up so you don't fall down or stumble with either gyro or movement or whatever it takes." The pilot can reply anything. For example, if the pilot is carrying his or her weight limit the pilot might say, "I'm at my weight limit and I think you won't be able to compensate should there be a gust. Let's wait until there is a safe stationary spot for you to unfurl the solar array." Or the pilot could say, "We are presently at about 75% power and we still have plenty of sunlight left. Let's wait." Or the pilot could say, "We are presently on the level and I'm not carrying much weight and there are no cliffs or rocks or thorns for me to fall on or into so why don't you unfurl. Also, the sun is burning my skin so when you unfurl could you tint the solar array so I don't sunburn so much?" This is a typical conversation between the sentient helicopter in any of the 10 languages still alive on earth at that time in Europe. These 10 languages still alive at this time are:
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Persian, Russian, Polish, and what is called "the Mixture" which is parts of all these remaining languages all interspersed. The helicopter can speak in any of these 10 languages. There is another colony of humans in the Himalayas Tibet and there they speak Tibetan and various Chinese dialects and Japanese and I'm told Japanese and Korean. Though they also speak a combination language the single most common language at this point on earth is: "The mixture" because of Arcane bringing technology first back to Switzerland which was one of his homes along with Paris, New York, California and Hawaii. Also, technology at this time had also made it to Tibet where ancient Tibetan ecological techniques like polyandry and raising barley had kept people alive above 8000 feet. Unfortunately, all people on earth still at this time who lived full time below 7000 feet often didn't live past age 30 and most were incapable of any technical or formal education for a variety of reasons both genetic and psychological.

Here is more on the development and use of these helicopters. I try to focus  mostly on the one Elohar uses which is a one man portable 50 pound type. Please click "more on solar powered helicopters below" if interested.

Elohar: The girl in the Forest

To click original blog article about this that I picked up on from my Elohar experience (my reincarnated mother in the 70th and 71st Centuries) or to read "Elohar: the girl in the Forest" click above.

When I'm trying to pick up on something in the 70th Century (1st timeline before 2001. We are now on the 2nd 'new' timeline) since it is an entirely different era, engineering in some ways is as different then than engineering was in the 1600s or 1800s in its relationship to the present day. It is that different or moreso(likely much moreso). So when I try to conceive of what is happening there it is a slow process (like when Roswell technology was being reverse engineered by major U.S. corporations when slowly given to them by the U.S. Military Intelligence). So, when I look at something from another century past or future I have to try to (get inside) the users or designers (usually both) of that technology for it to make any sense to me.

So my latest revelation about this Solared powered helicopter I'm emphasizing two things, the single passenger model (that Elohar was flying to and from college at age 17 as a freshman in Switzerland). This likely was 7015 on the old timeline. So even though my mother is reincarnated then I can still sync with her awareness of that time to some degree. So, by accessing her awareness of actually flying a single passenger 50 pound backpackable solar powered flying saucer I have been able to get most of what I already accessed in the first word button above that starts with "Solar powered". Also I deduced that with that particular design one could also use a small Honda generator (less than one foot in diameter) to power this thing even with no sunlight and be okay. This is because the electric motor is efficient in a way the ones built today are not.

I was driving along today and it suddenly occurred to me that the electric motor was not at all like any I had seen before. Not only that there is a rotor system that can be used that is completely unlike anything I've ever seen that provides more stability in the air and it reminds me a little of an umbrella with strategic holes in it for air to pass through. I suppose if you put into a computer an umbrella with just the silk as kevlar and then you asked a computer to design a super efficient and stable rotor with lifting capabilities you would wind up with this thing which no one likely would think of otherwise because they might not be thinking of designing advanced rotors around new materials as light as these. Also, as I have mentioned before the entire outside of the vehicle is solar cells but even that isn't entirely useful to say because in order to have only one or two battery systems, the ship is designed with the solar cells also being the battery(s) in other words one primary battery and one back up battery should the first fail and then a chute that automatically deploys if both systems become inoperable for any reason if you are above 500 feet in altitude. So it is very important to reach above 500 feet during takeoff to protect your life and ship in all situations except takeoff and landing.

The motor is a variation of the same technology that one experiences on high speed trains. And when the thing takes off you only here a whine as loud as a prius going down the freeway. So it would sound a lot like if you stuck your head out of a Prius and listened to the engine sounds from the outside or just listened to one driving by while standing on a street somewhere.

So, I saw today that it first repels itself from the ground like a maglev train before it starts moving rotors above the pilot and below. There are small rotors below that act like a gyroscope in concert with the above rotor going the opposite direction. So imagine a Mag lev that doesn't have an upper limit on the repulsion from not only metal but the earth itself. So you have an antigravity unit pushing down with rotors pulling and pushing you forward and a fishtail like rudder behind you to keep you on a true heading(despite which ways the wind is blowing at that altitude). So I think a better description of this thing is a mag-lev electrical propulsion device that is also connected to an above and below set of rotors. The lower rotor is actually a landing tripod and doubles as a stability rotor (by going the opposite direction of the above rotor and being a similar weight even though a different size. At the ends of the lower rotors are three 8 inch kevlar balls to keep the helicopter standing up right when it lands (even though it can land other ways too). (like parking it in midair at the top of a tree) as long as you have full sunlight to feed the antigrav unit while the main motor is off. You don't want to come back that night with the helicopter hanging down the tree(or worse, the weight having broken off the top of the tree and the whole thing haven fallen to the ground). So, this is one of the many reasons that the vehicle has built in artificial intelligence. In this way only competent people are allowed to pilot it even though almost anyone can be a passenger or can be in an  emergency lifted out of almost anywhere on earth.

Also, they are not owned by individual people. People are authorized to use these vehciles and are usually rented from the government by the day or week in the future in the 70th and 71 centuries and beyond. Since the technology is secret to that time, security is maintained by the onboard Artificial Intelligence and Sentience. If this is tampered with the vehicle is immediately picked up by the government by security personnel.

Things have gotten much crazier on earth than you and I can imagine in this present 21st century on that timeline. And since on that timeline 90% or more of the population of earth is not rational or sane or technological in any way, security is necessary on all technology that could be misused. The bastion of sanity left on Earth in the 70th and 71st century on the original timeline(we are now on the 2nd timeline that came into being on 9-11-01) is Switzerland, one of the few neutral countries that wasn't accidentally nuked on 9-11 in the worst snafu nuclear mistake on earth (so things are very different indeed on the original timeline in the 70th century on the first timeline).

However, (if haven't already read "Elohar: The girl in the Forest" you might not want to read anymore now here), Elohar did have her own personal Solar Powered Helicopter that she used for several years while still quite young and a member of the Royal Household.
