VIDEO: Toyota i-ROAD shows off some moves

Happiest car in the world? You’ll very probably think so after watching this video of four Toyota i-ROADs gaily flouncing around a seaside town, bobbing from side to side like penguins on wheels. Just you try not to smile.

Unveiled at the ongoing Geneva show, the Toyota i-ROAD concept is an all-electric two-seat, three-wheeled personal mobility vehicle that’s only 850 mm wide. Its Active Lean technology analyses speed and gyro information, and automatically balances the vehicle when cornering or travelling over stepped surfaces.

They almost look alive, don’t they? Read more about the Toyota i-ROAD concept in an earlier post.

    Looks cute but a bit skeptical when taking a corner on a slippery surface.

    looking at the video give the impression it’s better handling than the tuk-tuk which is also 3-wheel. one most fascinating features is that the front wheels have “shoulders” which are so flexible which can flex its way according to the road conditions. one thing is just the stability of the vehicle when there are loopholes??? as the video shows the roads over there are all silky smooth!
