Kinuiako Sato, a Japanese engineer of 26 years, designed the "WalkCar" a kind of skate the size of a notebook, made of aluminum and powered by lithium battery. Sato, defined it as the first "car that comes in a bag."
The WalkCar, weighs between two and three kilos (depending whether it is the outdoor or indoor version), can withstand a weight of 120 kg. and, according to Sato, he has enough strength to move a wheelchair with ease.
Although the creator boasts that his invention is better than other devices like Segway or Winglet Toyota it is unfit for forward vehicle: the maximum speed reached is 10 mph and can travel a distance of up to 12 kilometers with one battery charge three hours. The WalkCar the person just starts up and shuts down when lowered. To operate you just have to tip your weight to the side you want to go.
Sato which at that time was doing a specialized control systems for engine of cars Eléctricos- was based on an idea to create this team expertise. "If we could bring our transportation in a bag, that would mean that we would always have a shuttle with us," said the Japanese to Reuters:
The WalkCar be available on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter from October and will have a price of approximately U $ S 800.
