Toyota has released the i-swing concept in the 39th Tokyo Motor Show, a new personal mobility vehicle in the same series as the personal mobility models ( PM , i-unit and I-foot )
The I-swing concept is very similar to the Segway, with the capability of operating in a similar manner in two wheeled mode at walking pace on a footpath so it takes up little space, or transform to a three-wheeled mode for road speeds.
The I -swing can be control using a joystick, or by body weight movement. Cool Enough it has
Artificial Intelligence to enable it to learn the habits and preferences of users. Pretty cool Har..!!
The I Swing can operate with two wheeled mode as Segway.
Is it Japanese people lazy to walk? I just felt that sitting inside this I-swing looks like a disable man… Don’t you think so??
