Six models from the Do it Outdoors marketing group ride blue electric scooters down Seaside Terrace in Santa Monica on Tuesday August 22, 2006 as part of an Intel marketing campaign called 'Believe the Hype.' The electric scooter crew rides around town for about 6 hours a day. The scooters can hold an eight hour charge and reach speeds of 30 miles per hour. "We can hit 45 mpr on down hills!" reported a model.
