Iswing versus Segway

roro · 04-20-2006, 10:10 AM

In the Toyoto showroom on Champs Elysees in Paris you can see the Iswing.

I saw it first time in real, and I am not very impressed.

The whole thing is very very small. When you search pictures in the www,
you see only small Japanese Girls in it...

The Wheels look smaller than Segway Wheels.

A Toyota associate asked me, if i would trade my Segway against it.

My answer was: "NO."

The Iswing puts another meaning of "pod" into "electripod" (electric pedestrian/electric foot).

Very nice video.

It's problem, too big for the sidewalk too small for the street.

The one market, and here we go again, may be mobility impaired people. A cheaper(?), Ibot type deal.

That said it look like some cool tech work.

i want one anyway, but its just a concept right?

I believe it is a concept that is slated for production.

We didn't get it here during the Dubai Auto Show (good thing!) but I have received a few questions about it.

I'd like to ride in one.
