4:10PM Damian Francis | I’m sitting at AMLUX in Tokyo watching Toyota demonstrate the i-REAL personal mobility vehicle. Currently there is a Japanese women tearing around the room in one of these things. That’s right, she’s tearing it up. For those that used to compare the i-REAL to the Segway, consider the comparison dead. The i-REAL looks cooler and goes faster. And you sit in it rather than stand. More »

4:30PM Damian Francis | That would be me signing off from the Tokyo Motor Show and Japan. I’ll be hopping on a flight to Sydney in a few hours time. Hope you all enjoyed the coverage of what was certainly a pretty damn cool motor show. Before I go though be sure to do two things.

11:00AM Damian Francis | Gizmodo has reported on this before but today we will finally be getting behind the wheel (or three wheels) to take Toyota’s i-REAL for a spin. And by ‘we’, I mean me. Oh how I wish Nick Broughall were here so I could have someone to laugh at as they get to grips with this thing. As it is everybody will most likely be laughing at me. I’m not hugely coordinated at the best of times. More »
