The man, The machine, The Toyota i-ROAD. This was the foremost idea that came to me when I watched the videos and pictures of this awesome EV. Recently an i-ROAD test drive was held in Ecoful Town, Toyota City, Japan. People were really awestruck with this wonder vehicle.
What is Toyota i- ROAD?
It is an electric vehicle which is convenient and is fun to ride. The i-Road combines the ease of handling a motorbike and the drive, stability and comfort of the car. So says Mr. Yanka the Project General Manager of Toyota. Its uniqueness is its automatic active lean mechanism.
This mechanism, which was modeled, based on the movement of skiers and running animals gives the driver an exhilarating driving experience. Wow! That all sounds great. If you want to test it out, then be sure to be present in Grenoble in France at the end of 2014, where these wonder three wheelers will hit the roads for a test ride.

Time to wave good bye!
Toyota has some wonderful ideas up its sleeve such as the intuitive connection technology; cars speaking with one another and even your home powered by your own car. NOW, that’s what I call stunning!
Come be a part of this great revolution and once the EV’s are available in the market. Be the first one to catch it.
