ZIPPY: Steve Gundrum banking a turn in a 3-wheel Toyota i-ROAD urban mobility vehicle prototype being demonstrated at TED.

VANCOUVER: Steve Gundrum was grinning when he climbed out of a Toyota some might call a cross between a zippy scooter and an eco-friendly electric car. 

Gundrum was among the TED Conference attendees who test drove one of the company’s i-ROAD prototype “personal mobility vehicles” on a course set up in the basement of the Vancouver Centre, where the gathering took place.
