Looking for something interesting? Check out the T10 minicar being exhibited at the 1st Int’l Automotive Electronics Technology Expo, at Tokyo Big Site. It’s made by Toyama, Japan based Takeoka Jidosha Kogei Ltd., and is based on a model already distributed by the company, the Mileu R.
The T10 is a little wider and longer than the Mileu R, and is expected to be released sometime in in 2009. It is not yet priced, but is expected to be in line with the other model, which costs approximately US$9520.
The T10 is technically a four wheeled bicycle, covered with a sleek and aerodynamic shell, and powered by a 600W DC motor driven by 4 12V batteries. The body design is different than the Mileu R, with more curves and general appeal, and can be operated in Japan with an rdinary license.
It isn’t made for speed, or long distances, with a tp spped of 55Km/h and a distance of 50Km, you can count on recharging it after an hour’s use, but this can be extended by using the human powered features.
