Electric urban transportation doesn’t usually get the blood pumping, but this Toyota might do the trick. It’s called the i-Road, and it’s based on a concept first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. The design combines the convenience of a motorcycle with the coziness of a car, but take a look at the video above to judge for yourself.

Toyota is offering open-road testing of this personal mobility vehicle to 20 lucky (or unlucky) candidates in Tokyo. The design looks funky, the technology impressive, but we’ll let someone else iron out the wrinkles on this one.
