Toyota’s future vision of personal mobility packs a big punch of excitement into a pint-sized cruiser that blurs the line between car and motorbike. It’s clearly ideal for urban commuting, with a space-saving size and zero-emissions source of power. Toyota says that once a driver gets used to it, the i-ROAD’s performance feels parallel to skiing.
The Toyota i-ROAD has been tested in cities across the world. It went through an October 2014 Verification Project in France and March 2014 Verification Project in Japan, where locals got to test out the vehicle on public roads. Many expressed excitement over its unique performance and how easy it was to learn how to drive. See the video below now to watch it in action.
