The “i-unit” is a form of “personal mobility” that seeks to attain a greater balance of meeting individuals’ wishes to enjoy freedom of movement, harmony with society, and harmony with the Earth’s natural environment.
The design, inspired by the leaf that converts sunlight into life energy, seeks to express the power of the unknown, the logic of living things and the simple beauty of waste-free functionality. The i-unit has a compact size enabling the passenger to move among other people in an upright position in low speed mode, and a low center of gravity that ensures stable handling when the vehicles reclines in high speed mode.
A personalized recognition system can provide information and music, and body color can be customized, according to the individual’s preferences and emotions.
The I-Unit appeared at the 2005 New York Auto Show. For even better pix, please see www.seriouswheels.com. I ONLY use their pix for posts. A good UNIT is hard to come by...nice post Alek! M
