Charles Sturt University gave away a motorised drinks cooler (the "
CSU Motorised Esky") at the CeBit exhibition last week.
John Ridge, Executive Director of the
ACS Foundation, rode this diminutive battery electric vehicle around the exhibition floor (
see video). The vehicle consists of a large rigid plastic drinks cooler fitted with batteries and an electric motor driving the two rear wheels. There is a single wheel fitted to the front with handlebars similar to a child's scooter. The rider sits on the box and places their feet on motorcycle type pegs at the front. There is a throttle and brakes. I then had a go, finding it remarkably stable and easy to operate. I took a spin through the Australian Government stand, there being a lot of unused space in the middle of this.
