NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29 (UPI) —
A New Orleans group is using Kickstarter to fund an unusual mode of transportation — a cooler propelled by electric motors.
The Kreweser team posted on its Kickstarter page the electric scooter, which uses a full-size cooler for a seat, can reach speeds of 18 mph and can carry up to 96 beverage cans plus the ice to keep them frosty.
The scooter, which collapses to an easily portable size, uses motors found in the hubs of its wheels, allowing it to carry up to 400 pounds.
The coolers included with the Krewesers are outfitted with 6.5-inch, 165-watt marine-grade speakers with Bluetooth connectivity, so riders can play music from their smartphones. The speakers are built into the walls of the cooler, so no storage space is lost in the upgrade, the team said.
Kreweser had raised $7,797 of its $90,000 goal Monday with 23 days to go on Kickstarter.
