Me sitting in the P.U.M.A.
Yes, this is a long lead time to get the P.U.M.A. and EN-V concepts to market.
It sure looks cool, and not unlike a prototype that Toyota showed off a few years ago.
In terms of using it, well it sure goes fast, so I wonder if it has a seat belt, and what policies will arise around helmet use?
I am fairly familiar with the many and varied original EPAMD laws in USA, and most of these defined the device as something one person stands on and had a steering column. If I recall correctly, some laws have been updated to remove the requirement of a steering column, and some allow 1 or more wheels (rather than 2 non-tandem wheels), but whether the "standing" requirement has been changed in any of them, I do not know?
Anyway, I'll post a couple of photos of the prototype P.U.M.A. that I took in September 2019.
