It is said, Wim Ouboter, the inventor of the foldable scooter shown here, tried to think how he could get faster and more comfortably to the nearest snack bar. This ‚problem‘ was the origin of one of the most successful Swiss inventions of the last few years.

It has recently been reported (2001) that, due to an increasing number of plagiarisms of its scooter products, the Swiss company Micro Mobility Systems Ltd. has decided to fight these pirate products. Thanks to a patent filing in 1997, they are able to do so and to enforce their intellectual property rights.
