Vehicle of the Future? Best of CES Offerings for Transportation Sector is Toyota i-Road Concept

January 6, 2014 at 5:00 pm

The 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has already been abuzz with so many cool innovations targeting the transportation market.. here is one of the coolest gadget and it comes with three wheels from the famed stables of a Japanese OEM.. Say hello to the Toyota i-Road concept.   Check out the Verge doing a test drive of this cool two-seater around a parking lot and offer his 2 cents worth. As Josh noted, this would make for a perfect commuter vehicle, especially for those congested urban areas.   

Originally debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, this battery operated beauty is a hybrid between a car and a motorcycle and rolls on three wheels.. Gizmag notes that the i-Road is an electric personal mobility vehicle with two in-line seats, that leans into the corners like a motorcycle. With only five horsepower, a top speed of 45 km/h (30 mph), and a range of 50 km (30 mi), the i-Road is aimed squarely at an urban transport market.

According to KMBC-TV, California Highway Patrol pulled over the man in bunny costume for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle on Interstate 8 in suburban San Diego on Saturday (the day before Easter). Reportedly the Bunny Man (or funny man?) was on his way to an Easter charity event. Looks like he got away with a warning but no tickets.

Hi officer, I wasn’t speeding.. Just hopping along. BTW, my name is Peter Cottontail.

Adding Ammo To The Argument: Why Riding A Motorcycle Is Good (& Encouraged) In Britain

June 6, 2012 at 4:56 pm

A few days back we saw a nice video from RidetoWorkUK , promoting motorcycles as a commuting option.  And today I saw this new video posted by a British biker showing how wonderfully he bypassed a longggg traffic queue by hopping on the dedicated bus lane.  And with that today I learned, motorcycles are allowed to use bus lanes in some parts of UK..

Why are we not doing that in this part of the world (i.e., US)? Or do you know of any cities where such a practice is in place?
