The i-REAL is a three-wheeled Personal Mobility vehicle, and its name expresses the effort to make the concept real. The i-REAL is the latest model in i-series and was introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show. The “walk” mode brings the driver to a higher position, minimizing the space the vehicle takes up and making movement through pedestrian traffic easier. The high-speed “cruise” mode lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity, allowing for better handling. It’s also equipped with perimeter monitoring sensors to alert the driver to potential dangers with an alarm. The i-REAL has the potential to become a personal form of communication that includes all five senses, changing the way many will look at personal mobility. Visit TOYOTA
