If Batman rode a scooter, he'd ride an ESR750H Hoverboard. 

This ain't the cheap Razor Scooter knockoff you used to ride around on when your were a kid.  The ESR750H Hoverboard from Go-Ped is truly a lightweight, alternative-energy transport vehicle.  Let's break form and take a peek at the company's description:

Utilizing 3 major patents, this two wheeled marvel will quietly, efficiently and effortlessly propel riders of up to 400 lbs above the ground with the sensation as if they were magnetically levitating on a cloud. The degradation of urban streets, rough nature of country roads and everything in-between are practically un-noticeable as you float over them on this energy saving scooter.

The ESR750H Hoverboard® offers 2.7" of suspension travel in the front and 3.5" of suspension travel in the rear that is adjustable from "plush to firm" for customizing the perfect balance to suit rider preferences. Very effective and stylish front and rear fenders help protect both rider and Hoverboard® in the event in foul weather and the Mad Dog front disc brake with anti dive produces secure and reliable stoping power.

This sucker can propel your butt across town at 20 miles per hour and it charges from any standard electrical outlet for about 10 cents.  It also has a range of over 12 miles and can handle a payload of 400 pounds!  How cool is that?  Plus it's lightweight and foldable so you can cart it on a bus, train or ferry if need be.  And, it's a scooter: if you run out of juice you can put your sneakers to use and keep scooting along.

The only downside is that an urban vehicle of this calibur will cost you just over $1,000.  So it's a little on the pricey side, but for that thousand bucks you'll get a stylish and eco-friendly way of getting across town.
