Sooner than later we will see new ways of getting around the cities in a sustainable manner. The Project PUMA by GM and Segway is a good example of this (which later morphed into the form of the Chevrolet EN-V unveiled at last year’s Beijing).
And it seems that Hyundai wants to join this fashion with Hyundai E4U. We found it by chance in the Japanese daily TechOn. The truth is we’ve taken a few days to finish by our word that this was not a joke on April 1, is that the original story appeared just that day, but the device was presented at the Seoul Motor Show.
Upon corroborate that ” this “really exists, that we have no explain thoroughly.
The idea of a small urban mobility system we like, but the design … no.
Hyundai E4U name is, according to Hyundai, the acronym of “egg”, and “for you” to you in English. Come on, “egg for you“. It is almost as ugly as the device name.
It’s idea is a small two-wheel Segway directional grasped by straps to the main body, which gets the driver. If passed and little shame by riding, you may opt to use a kind of cap-windshield will make you look the dumbest place to go.
The device is purely electric, and has been in development since October last year. Its directional controls with his feet handled by a mobile platform, while the passenger grab both handles of the cubicle.
Surreal? Yes, so as to look like a joke or a joke. But it seems that it is not. We give a song in the teeth that fails to occur. If the Segway was not the commercial success expected, this device clearly less attractive, it would be far more difficult.
