Toyota i-Swing

by

So you don’t want to cycle to work, but you have nowhere to park the car when you get there. Motorcycles are too dangerous, so how about the Toyota i-Swing?
This is Toyota’s personal mobility device, which sits up on 2 parallel wheels most of the time, balancing itself and turning as you lean, much like the Segway. There’s a 3rd wheel in there somewhere for slow manoeuvres, I think. It looks both funky and nutty, and I’ll bet it’s fun to drive, but I’ll also bet on a high price tag.
I think it needs a bit of a roof.
