tamar canfi develops hybrid scootboard for short commutes

young designer tamar canfi, currently finishing studies at shenkar college of engineering and design, explores personal transportation with the ‘scootboard’. merging the best qualities of skateboards and scooters, the elegant hybrid is ideal for short trips around the city or campus. ‘scootboard’ folds down to be carried like a skateboard, and can be driven with a single hand.
