Toyota's i-Real answers the quintessential question: "How can I let my legs atrophy, while simultaneously looking sillier than someone in a Segway?" Here's your answer.
Toyota's president, Katsuaki Watanabe, rolled onto the stage in complete control of the amped up wheelchair and although his stiff demeanor carried over from the operation of the i-Real to his speech, we understand it's relatively easy to operate. Two joysticks fall to hand, controlling forward motion, braking and turning, and once the speeds increase – up to 30 km/h – the seat tilts back to stabilize the i-Real.
We've added a few live shots of the i-Real to our gallery and you can take a gander at our
original post for more details.
