Japanese car company Kowa Tmsuk has displayed their 'Kobot Beta' ultra-compact electric powered concept vehicle at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Kobots are high-density urban commuting vehicles, with a 19mph (30km/hr) top speed.
The Kobots are one and two-seat fold-up electric vehicles. Kobot 'Nu' and Kobot 'Beta' are highly manoeuvrable three-wheeled single-seaters with a single rear wheel. The Nu and Beta can be reduced in length due to their telescopic body when the Smartphone activated rear wheel and seat fold up into the front of the car. This makes parking the Nu and Beta really easy in a crowded city.
The 'Kobot II' is a super compact, more like a conventional car, with a roof and sides. All the Kobots are designed for car-sharing plans or as shuttle vehicles for commuters that leave their vehicles outside of city centres. Look out for Kobot in the fourth quarter of 2012 when Kowa Tmsuk plans to have them in production.
