Toyota filled the market with its narrow
three-wheeled electric vehicle could offer commuters the freedom to squeeze
through traffic jams as if were driving a motorbike.
All this while offering the
stability and safety of being inside a car. Toyota's i-road personal mobility
vehicle is designed for negotiating busy city streets and is no wider than a
standard motorbike, but can be driven like a car thanks to intelligent front
wheels that automatically adjust to suit the driver's actions.
This trike uses
'Active Lean' technology that allows its wheels to move up and down to
calculate the best position for going round tight corners, or weaving in and
out of traffic. These new three wheeler
have become cool. Toyota's prototype of its intelligent trick leans like a
motorbike when speeding round corners. The i-road personal mobility vehicle is designed for negotiating busy

It a new part of Toyota's eco range, the prototype is electric and has a range of
30 miles on a single charge.
Toyota has not said if or when the vehicle
will go on sale but it will be used in a futuristic trial transport scheme in
Japan next year. Toyota's i-ROAD personal mobility vehicle is designed

automatically adjust to suit the driver's actions. The trike uses 'Active Lean'
technology that allows its wheels to move up and down to calculate the best
position for going round tight corners, or weaving in and out of traffic. This
makes the vehicle lean a little like a motorbike, yet the driver can operate
the vehicle without noticing the automated technology to drive the vehicle like
a normal car.

The i-road could be the answer for people who like the idea of
cutting through traffic on a motorbike, but like the creature comforts of their
car. It seats two people under cover, is 'intuitive' to drive' and there is no
need for a helmet, according to the company. The Active Lean technology is the
key to the vehicle's stability, safety and comfort,Toyota told Book Club, it offers a stable ride without the driver having to maintain the balance of
the vehicle.The i-road could be the answer for people who like the idea of

As part of Toyota's
eco range, the i-road prototype is electric and has a range of 30 miles on a
single charge.
The system uses a lean actuator and gearing mounted above the
front suspension member, linked via a yoke to the left and right front wheels. engine
control unit calculates the required degree of lean based on steering angle,
gyro-sensor and vehicle speed information, with the system automatically moving
the wheels up and down in opposite directions, applying lean angle to
counteract the centrifugal force of cornering. The system also operates
when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line over stepped surfaces, the
actuator automatically compensating for changes in the road to keep the body
level. This means that if a driver tries to park the trike and rides up on a
kerb, it will stay level.
A spokesman told book-club that
anyone who can drive a car can 'jump in and drive the i-road as there is
nothing special to learn - you don't have to know how to drive a motorbike'. Part
of Toyota's eco range, the prototype is electric and has a range of 30 miles on
a single charge, which may not be a long distance, but the company believes
this type of vehicle could serve as the main mode of transport for short urban
journeys in the future. The vehicle's speed can be limited to suit road laws
for its class of vehicles. It can typically travel at up to 45km per hour (28
mph) but has a maximum speed of 60kph (37mph).
