This post was updated on March 15th, 2024

Getting around the campground or RV park can be a pain. Some use golf carts, others just hoof it.

Designed and built in Pasadena, California, the URB-E folding scooter aims to make moving about a local area easier than ever.

At 35 pounds, the URB-E weighs less than the comparable Razor E300 electric scooter and folds-unfolds in less than a second.

Sort of like an RV itself!

Grant Delgatty, founder and inventor of URB-E said,

I came up with the idea for the URB-E when I noticed a growing trend of people taking public transportation that were in need of a solution for going the last mile to their final destination.

I wanted to design a vehicle that was sustainable, compact, and versatile enough to improve the experience of urban commuting.

It seems that with such small wheels, bumps and cracks in the sidewalk and road would be a major problem, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The ride was so smooth and comfortable even in the rain ( which it was raining when I took it for a spin). It was easy to maneuver and it felt really balanced.

The onboard USB connector lets you charge your devices from URB-E’s battery.

Some more about this scooter:

  • onboard-USB charger lets you charge your cellphone or laptop on the go
  • advanced sport tune controller provides powerful acceleration and torque
  • seat with built in suspension and a low center of gravity provides easy-to-ride vehicle and cushion for any bumps you encounter along your journey
  • top-of-the-line cross-drilled disc brake means stopping is easy and safe, even on hills
  • each URB-E has a unique Serial Number and comes with a 1 year warranty

Compared to other electric scooter models on the market, the URB-E has a much higher price point.

For example, the base model Razor E300 comes in around $260, while the higher-performing URB-E sells for over $1,600.
