This Chinese farmer is recycling suitcases into electric scooters

This farmer wants to recycle old suitcases into inexpensive small-sized scooters. After ten years of work he came up with this invention, capable of carrying two people and run up to 12.5 Mph (20 km/h) for 37 miles on one charge. It even includes a navigation system.

Hopefully it will catch on. China is not going to get out of their pollution hole using cars—and I think it's time for them to start reusing much of the crap the produce if we want this planet to have any future.
