A company wants to reinvent urban transportation by developing a fully enclosed, two-wheeled electric vehicle that puts fewer vehicles and more people on the road.

The brains behind the electric prototype super-shrinking city car is Daniel Kim and he combines the romance and fuel efficiency of a motorbike with the comfort and protection of a normal road car.

Combining the elements

At first sight it looks like something RoboCop would use to patrol a city. It boasts a re-enforced body complete with seat-belts, airbags and can reach speeds of up to 193km/h.

What makes the bike impressive is its ability to stay upright even when involved in a collision when hit from the side. The bike could be a great way to get around town safely and as fuel efficient as possible.
