Mobility light typical of the DNA of the Italian company that produces scooter for over seventy years. It is, therefore, created a robot, Trip, able to carry up to 18 kilograms and reach up to 35 Km/h, which follows the owner like a dog.

this Is a prototype, but the basic idea of the project could be developed in a short time, thus allowing the arrival of Trip in the trade. Because, at the moment, the automaton is in an experimental stage it is not known when will come on the market and, especially, at that price.
