- MIT's electric vehicles for urban environments are showcases, including the folding CityCar and the electric bike attachment known as the GreenWheel.
By Justin Meisinger
That car idea, was all ready introduced by a Japanese car company. It's a gret idea, for city life style. Really big cars, aren't really convinent in the city for the driver or public. Cities continue to become more populated, and smaller cars are the best way to deal with this.
I think the only way the car will catch on is if most people drive them because people don't like the safety hazard they can be when driving with cars twice or three times their size next to them.
The bike attachment sounds nice, but is way too expensive to become popular.
Love this e-car and add Google drive to it! I am done driving! Bring it on!
many years went by and still dont see them on the streets anywhere! Time to mass produce these for very low price!
I was thinking the same! Where are they?
The wheel have been sell but not in a low price.
@Piano1515 I do ride a lot, but I still want a front-wheel version so I can ride the local beaches and hit the snow in winter! Besides, I don't know if its popular where you are but around here cheap electric mopeds are EVERYWHERE; they're just heavy "bicycles" that usually have their (nearly useless) pedals removed by the owner. At least with this you might pedal from time to time, and could get home fairly easily with a dead battery.
MIT place an alternator in the front hub of the bike to assist charging the battery. Little bug car is a cool concept
I still want that car!!!
I saw a new microchip on mouser that was for automated gps shopping carts w range detection that would link back together. I imagine homeless people taking the carts around the city then riding inside them for free transportation back to the grocery stores from the bridges :)
The one thing that would have to be built into these vehicles and into the batteries on the bikes too is a GPS tracking system because people will try to steal them. I think the technology is here to do that and it shouldn't cost that much either. Perhaps people could rent the bikes too which would be an even better alternative and you could activate these things using a key and code or something.
When will we see these on the road? So many great ideas like these that have real life use dates set out in 2025 or 2050. Get these on the roads already
In full production I suspect that the cost of the greenwheel would come down. That is if it is a take off product with a good service reputation. Yes I am interested.
this is all great stuff,but we have all the pieces right now to build a aerodynamic,high mileage and or long range electric vehicle.What's needed is to change the mindset of a lot of driver's,whom insist on driving to work in a 3-4 thousand pound inefficient vehicle,with just them in it.BMW built the Simple concept a few years back,perfect.A manufacture willing to cut their profit margin,to draw people in and get them behind the wheel,may start the ball rolling.The Simple is fun to drive.

Quando chega ao Brasil esse veículo elétrico em que ano obrigado abraço SrN
I like the idea of this car, being electric and able to fold, making full 360 degree turns in tight spaces, all while sitting two people. Its a shame that its not being produced. Can the car drive in both the regular and compact position? The only thing this car seems to be missing is cargo space.
It is not a new idea. Toyota first made a design like that. A foldable car.
They just announced a plant would start producing them, but I can't find a video of an actual working prototype, test drive or something...
In case you cannot figure that out himself. He is actually of mixed race.
@ak7wyf It parks perpendicular not parallel. After is parks perpendicular, it folds ups so the car is not sticking out in the road. This also allows the driver and passenger to exit the vehicle. So even if two assholes park bumper to bumper, they can drive off with ease.
If they produce a 5-seat version of this car, that could meet the needs of a typical family and this car has a brilliant future in order to replace the obsolete petrol pollutant car.
how far will it travel before needing another charge?
simplemente genialll!!!
Und wo tue ich meine Einkäufe vom Supermarkt rein?? Der Wagen ist wohl ein Hingucker und macht bestimmt Spaß, aber zwei Einkaufstüten voller Lebensmittel möchte ich schon leicht unterkriegen. Der Wagen kann ja auch ruhig Spaß bringen, aber sein nutzen als Altagswagen für die Stadt soll auch vollwertig vorhanden sein. In der BMW- Isetta passte auf der kleinen Rückbank kleine Einkäufe rein oder ein Kleinkind
fantastico! so nao sei pq este projeto ja nao esta sendo visto nas ruas
@Ryoske6 Like how car rentals do now? I've never heard of anyone getting STDs from a car rental but you never know..
I like the bike, but the folding car would be more amazing and much more economical if it did not fold. So much tech when you could just make them 2/3 the size and fit 3 of them in a spot. There has been a lot made of this project and I am into it, but I feel like people only care that it's from MIT and it has lots of wow factor. It could have already been on the road if they didn't make it fold, but who would care about a normal, small electric car?
i designed something like this in 1998
i think there was a lego technic car like this in the 80s
can we drive this car when is folded in half?
@SantosRegal What? Do you think this MIT is out on the road? So I am comparing like with like. Yaris is a different segment it's too big and the brakes don't work.
If I change my name to Jetson and buy one of these, can I get a discount?
i love it
a bike without it really being a bike awsome
dammit, all the things i could accomplish if i could go to MIT
great..where can i buy..??
i need you this technology in colombia
Brilliaant! A black man behind the idea :)
bella la bicicletta ,quando la vedremo in giro?
BUEN CONCEPTO
Car seems pretty cool, but doesn't appear safe at all, not with all these huge 4x4's rolling around ready to just flatten that thing like a bug :( cool idea tho. It's probablies an idea that might catch on in the ''far'' future.
As for the bike? not a fan. so, that pretty much makes pedals useless, doesnt it? haha
Whoops I mean built into the motors, not batteries... :~)
its not the color of the skin,its the person behind it.
with armored plating,so a vehicle that got 60 mpg in NYC,in Bogota it would get about 2 mpg.Stop killing each other geez!!!!
Video ends 1:10
THIS ISN'T NEW, SOMETHING AS THIS WAS DESIGNED IN SPAIN...MANY YEARS BEFORE...
IT'S NAME'S HIRIKO!
@Piano1515 Then you don't know that for health reasons, only a minority of
people > 45 can bicycle where they have to go, and < 45 not all can. Among
the older poor with no cars, people with no access to close buses, or a ride
from friends, often go without proper and needed food and even medicines
until they can find transport. Any society without petroleum will need to either
find an alternative source of power, or they will have to enslave their youth
or animals to provide the power.
why not walk instead of interstellar travel? you confuse two issues
@Piano1515 Let me guess, you're still young...
its cool !
@BigTuna77777 a huge success at 1000 dollars??????
@BigTuna77777 dude fully agree w u
thats a cool car but it won't take on our true canadian winters and what about a family with children and pets where do you put the kids and pets and your food
naaa I like the TATA Pixel better.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
car is cool, but what about safety
no exercise....its just like a slow motorcycle
FIRST AND MOST PERFECT CULTURE CIVILIZATION FORM OF GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION GOOD RIGHT MENTAL HEALTH WISE PERFORMANCE blessed by GOD Humanity A human societies a people's countries is true Christianity based on knowledge of TRUTH written in Holy Bible and upon the fulfillment of the 10 divine law .AMEN.

What a meaningless gimmick.
Please introduce the multi-level car parking tower of "made in Japan".

Invest in Pakistan
Stolen from NiSSAN !!!
this technology have Nissan ( & + other Japan car )
