A Japanese researcher has created the first car in a bag in the world.
A Japanese engineer has developed a fairly small portable carrier to be carried in a backpack that said bag is the first car in a bag in the world.
Twenty-six years old Kuniako Saito and his team in Cocoa Motors recently unveiled the WalkCar carrier powered by a lithium battery, which is the size of a laptop and looks like a skateboard more than a car.
The thin WalkCar is aluminum and weighs between two and three kilograms April 4 to June 6 pounds, as it is an indoor or outdoor version.
Saito expects to see many other uses for its carrier, as he says he has enough power to help people push wheelchairs with ease Lightweight aluminum board is stronger than it appears, and can withstand loads up to 120 kg 265 pounds.
It reaches a maximum speed of 10 km / h June 2 miles per hour for distances up to 12 kilometers on April 7 miles after three hours of charging.
Its developer claims that it is extremely simple to install Once the rider stands on it the WalkCar start automatically, simply disembarking stops the vehicle to change direction, the user moves their weight.
Best of all, there is no need to find a parking space, because it fits into a small bag when not being used Saito studied in the car engine control systems electric triggered the idea of the new type of conduct.
I thought if we could bring our bags in our transportation, wouldn t that mean us still have our transportation with us to get on and my friend asked me to make because I was doing my masters in engineering specifically electric car engine control systems, he told Reuters.
Saito said he is confident that WalkCar goes beyond the larger aircraft such as the Segway or Winglet Toyota.
Kuniako Saito, the engineer behind WalkCar Reuters.
Maybe I do not see that in this way, but it seems that the US is always one who invents new products and Japan is one that takes these and improves on them to make a better version of celui- But this here, in this case the WalkCar is a completely new product, I started from scratch I also I want to show the world that Japan can also be innovative, he said.
Saito said guests can book their own WalkCars from autumn 2015 on the site Kickstarter crowdfunding The board futuristic wheels will have a price tag of about 100,000 Japanese Yen USD 800 shipping expected to begin in spring 2016.
