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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-tesseract) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wimo-scooter) and even one that can pull a wheelchair for a more supportive experience.
