【Submission Season 1 Episode 1 (2016)】

Stator scooters know how to go big when it comes to tires.

After the California-based company's giant,Submission Season 1 Episode 1 (2016) self-balancing electric scooter concept went viral a few years ago, the company actually managed to bring the vehicle to market now, albeit in limited numbers as only 500 scooters will initially be available.

Just saying...

If you're plowing full-speed ahead, the scooter's battery will last for an hour. For more conservative riders, you can get 80 miles out of a fully charged battery. To recharge, simply plug the two-wheeler into a wall outlet and four hours later it'll be juiced up.

Sure, there's different ride modes (called Limp, Eco, Sport, and X) tailored for different road conditions and riding experiences, ranging from calm to extreme. But with tires like that, we're only going off-roading.
