The Toyota C+walkT electric scooter is being launched by the brand in Japan where it's focused on providing riders with a silent, safe and smooth ride when being rode in pedestrian-only areas. The scooter features a three-wheeled construction that is focused on stability and a comfortable ride, while the steering controls are built around a centralized display. The unit features a top speed of 6.2mph that will slow down to 1.2mph when the obstacle detection system kicks into action.
The Toyota C+walkT electric scooter is poised as being great for large-scale environments like warehouses and factories, while an upcoming scooter is focused on offering enhanced support. This will come in the form of a seated electric scooter and even one that can pull a wheelchair for a more supportive experience.
