In February, Toyota showed a teaser of i-Road, a tandem two-seater urban three-wheeled vehicle, something that later surfaced in a video and alongside more information. Fast-forward nearly a year, and Toyota has officially shown off the car at CEATEC 2013, giving a complete look at the vehicle ahead of the test drives it will make available in 2014, SlashGear reports.
Toyota has dished the complete specs for the small car. The vehicle measures in at 2350- x 850- x 1445-mm, which works out to about 7.7 x 2.8 x 4.75 feet. The wheelbase, meanwhile, is 1700mm, which is about 5.6-feet, making it a very svelte offering for crowded public spaces.
The front tires measure in at 80/80R16, while the single rear tire is 130/70R10. The smallest turning rating for the car is 3-meters (9.8 feet), and the curb weight is 300 kilograms (661 pounds). The power train utilizes an electric motor, with dual 2kw offerings, giving a maximum speed of 45kmh, which is a bit under 30MPH, meaning one shouldn’t expect to go long distances at fast rates in this thing.
On a charge — which is achieved with an on-board lithium-ion battery — the driver can expect to travel about 50 kilometers (a hair over 31 miles).
