 Hey, it's Ben Popper with The Verge here at CES 2017. I'm at Caesars Palace trying out the new sport version of the Urbi all electric vehicle. So what's the big difference this year? Well, this Urbi is 40% cheaper at $899 and is 20% lighter. The whole thing is made in California. Even the parts are built there, not just assembled. And Urbi is really pushing the idea that this is for a new kind of consumer, one who doesn't have a car and who cares as much about powering up their devices as they do about getting to work. You can now take the battery out and use it to charge up your phone, your laptop. It's got USB and USB-C. You charge up a MacBook five times or your iPhone 40 times. It's got a brand new suspension system and different tires. And Urbi thinks that they're going to be able to move tens of thousands of units at this price point and weight. Now, for me, the first Urbi was great, but it felt a little squirrely. This model is much more stable and it's much easier to pick up. I think that what they have, which is different from other companies, is something that feels as powerful as a bike and as adaptable as a scooter. I do have about four days of CES to look forward to, so might as well try and make it bearable. So this is the new Urbi Sport. It's 40% cheaper, 20% lighter, definitely a lot easier to ride and to carry. The urban electric scooter is still kind of a new thing, but if you were into previous versions of the Urbi or if you've been looking for a good alternative to a bicycle, this is definitely something you should check out.
