Scooter.

To war with e-scooter?

"Ukrainian units want more sneaky battlefield e-scooters, Latvian firm says"

"A letter from a Ukrainian unit says the scooters have received 'very positive feedback' from soldiers who are using them for 'combat tasks,' according to Latvian scooter-maker Mosphera."

"EUROSATORY 2024 — Ukrainian soldiers have an open request for a few dozen more e-scooters made by a Latvian firm and used for stealthy reconnaissance and supply missions, the company’s founder told Breaking Defense."

"Latvia initially donated a handful of the camouflaged, ruggedized electric scooters made by Mosphera to Ukrainian forces in early 2023, and after their apparent usefulness in the conflict, two Ukrainian army units have since requested more than two dozen more, according to documents provided by the company and dated late 2023. A charity has also requested more than 30 of the systems on behalf of Ukrainian forces, bringing the total order to nearly 70, the company said."

These scooters under certain circumstances have usefulness and worth. Units engaged in a  scouting/reconnaissance/screening/security mission might very well find these scooters versatile and functional. More than anything else, troops can move rapidly considerable distance with a minimum of noise.

Comments:

* Recharging the battery will not be a problem in a combat zone?

* Cold weather will discharge that battery pretty quickly.

* For the Ukraine have extra-wide tires to deal with the rasputitsa!

See the Mosphera Internet web site devoted to military applications.
