The new rechargeable Scooter system concept. The 'Link' scooter system is designed as a modular transport solution that can be retrofitted to existing Streetscape Smart Poles. It allows users to hire a small lightweight electronic scooter from a hub and ride to the desired destination and then return the scooter to another hub, where it is recharged. The use of existing light poles reduces the cost of the unit and provides strong anchors that carry both telecommunications and power to the hub. The device was designed to suit the Sydney 2030 plan to reduce cars in the CBD and make the city more pedestrian oriented. By Mr Anton Grimes, who is the student of University of New South Wales.

Fantastic idea! The only problem is that it is sucking up more power as the light pole is at night. So in theory it would be double the power a normal light pole uses? And can't people steal them?
