Mobility defines the world today. In its fast-paced nature, we need to be at many places at the same time, shuffling our schedules around just to make it with an acceptable delay. But, we should not discount from our need for security, no matter how quickly we need to travel, or from the newest technological advancements. Fortunately, we came up with a solution which combines all of these — speed, security, and technology.

Introducing the TREZOR Scooter. A unique fusion of a convenient travel companion for the city — a scooter, a secure hardware wallet, and blockchain!

Preorder starts soon. Delivery in two weeks!

Why, you ask? Let us answer directly with these simple case scenarios:

Business meeting in a coffee shop downtown.

  • Hop on your TREZOR Scooter and speed down the hill. Plug the Scooter into the nearest computer, and pay for the coffee with a simple Bitcoin transaction. Confirm it on the Scooter touchscreen! Quick, convenient and secure.

Accept cryptocurrency payments in a farmers market.

  • Selling your seasonal goods? Wanna be hip? Not only will you arrive fashionably on the latest scooter model, but you can also accept payments with your TREZOR Scooter. Let customer scan the QR code and see the transaction come within seconds.

Blockchain? Blockchain.

  • It would not be a modern scooter for 2018 if it did not come with blockchain included. Get your TREZOR Scooter, and you will receive your own blockchain. Blooooockchaaaain!

If these scenarios did not convince you then undoubtedly these advanced features of TREZOR Scooter will:

  • Advanced cryptocurrency support: You can store all the coins you want to! Even those not yet invented.
  • Advanced communications: The TREZOR Scooter comes with a 10 meter (32ft. 10in.) long USB-C to USB-A cable, but that is not all. You can also connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite connections, or microwaves, giving you the true freedom of mobility, at no cost to your security. You can connect it to any insecure Wi-Fi network, and it will be just fine.
  • Wheeled PIN-entry: For TREZOR Scooter, we invented a new method of PIN entry. Touchscreen or matrix-based PIN-pad are so 2017. Instead, turn your front wheel around, like you would open a safe with a rotary combination lock. Once you turn the correct sequence around, your wallet will unlock.
  • Mine your own transactions: The TREZOR Scooter mines cryptocurrencies, using the kinetic energy from the movement of the scooter. Ecological and convenient!
  • No need for backup: The best thing about TREZOR Scooter is that there is no need to back it up. It is ultimately secure, running on 5 secure chips, each with the NIST FIPS 140–2 certification, which no one can read. It is virtually unhackable.
  • Various accessories: You can personalize your Scooter in any way you want! Attach a bell or a micro printer for issuing paper wallets. Bi-xenon lights will definitely attract all the attention that you will ever want!

I want my TREZOR Scooter now! How do I get it?

For this special occasion and unique product, we decided to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). At the moment of the preorder, you can redeem your tokens for your brand new Scooter.

So what is the cost of the TREZOR Scooter?

  • An all-basic, black model will go for 1 TREZOR Scooter Coin (1 TSC).
  • Want to change the color? Add another TSC for the total of 2 TSC.
  • Want your Scooter to feature two colors? That will be 3 TSC.
  • One additional accessory of your choice will cost you +1 TSC for any combination. You can add as many accessories as you want, the only limit is where you put them on the Scooter.
  • If you want to remove the brakes to create more space for accessories, you will need to sign a waiver and pay +0.5 TSC on top of your order.
  • Representative model: Black and yellow TREZOR Scooter with a paper wallet printer, bell, and emergency lights, without brakes: only 5.5 TSC!

Get your TREZOR Scooter Coin today and be ready for the preorder!

Don’t want to wait for the preorder? Just get a TREZOR One; it will guard your cryptocurrencies just as well, only without the wheels.
