Japan sure have lots of interesting stuff. Now there is even a plug-in electric scooter you can use o.o

Plug-in Electric Scooter

The scooter was used for a 141km ride from Numazu to Tokyo. The plug-in scooter needed 33 hours and 10 minutes to make the journey (with 5 battery charging stops). A gas-powered scooter made the same trip in 12 hours and 4 minutes. The gas for the trip cost 425 yen, while the battery charges totaled a mere 53 yen.

I think the electric scooter will be useful for short trips. They should release this internationally so that we do not waste so much fuel XD.
