Toyota & Suzuki Believe You Need A Personal Transporter
Unless you have some phobia that prevents you from going outside or something then you know just how crowded our streets are becoming. Go over seas to Europe or Asia and the problem is magnified dramatically. Well auto manufacturers Toyota and Suzuki think they have just the thing that everyone needs, Personal Transporters. Toyota introduced the i-Real (how original).
Following previous introductions dubbed the i-Unit and i-Swing, Toyota suggests the name of its new personal transporter indicates it's close to production. i-Real uses an electric drive for its two front wheels, with the third, rear wheel for balance. i-Real has built-in social networking, so you can communicate with other i-Real drivers near by.
While Suzuki introduced a sexier Pixy.
Suzuki's electric powered personal transporter uses four wheels instead of the i-Real's three. We also like that is has a full canopy, which suggests it might be more comfortable during inclement weather than the Toyota machine. But Suzuki envisions the Pixy for use on sidewalks and inside buildings. Walking will be a thing of the past.
I dunno, leave it to the Japanese to come up with some crazy idea like this one. I wonder how it does on emissions?

I wish that those machines could be actualy bought. On the other hand the streets would realy become crowded if everyone had one and parking would not be easier.
