I’m always distrustful of these sort of deals, but the product looks good: Vetrix has developed an electric scooter that has a great top speed, acceleration, and range (62mph, 8 second 0-60, and 70 miles), able to be charged from a standard wall outlet in just a couple of hours. Someone has been sending out unsolicited emails to a bunch of people (including TreeHugger, it seems), claiming that Vetrix needs people to sign up on their website to prove there is enough interest to release the scooters in the US next year. That sounds a lot like both spam and pointless internet petitions all wrapped into one, but since the scooters look so great (and actually exist), I guess we’ll have to forgive them.
