UK company Pure Electric has created a foldable electric scooter with footpads on either side of the chassis, allowing riders to adopt a "natural forward-facing stance".
The Pure Advance Flex scooter was designed to be compacted down into a neat package so it can be easily be carried around and stowed away in small urban homes.

The design is a foldable version of the brand's Pure Advance e-scooter, which launched in 2022 and allows riders to face completely forward while riding much like a Segway to provide greater stability, control and overall safety.
Unlike conventional e-scooters, where riders stand with one foot in front of the other, the Pure Advance has dedicated footpads that allow for a more intuitive and comfortable riding position, according to the company. Two footpads next to the chassis encourage a forward-facing position
"The Pure Advance Flex aims to replace the image of a children's toy with one of an electric vehicle suited to adults, commuters and urban riders," Pure Electric explained.
"With rider experience and safety at the core of the design process, the Pure Advance Flex has been designed from the ground up, enabling the rider to take a natural forward-facing stance, with feet apart."
