Researchers in Japan have developed a prototype electric scooter with inflatable components that can be custom fit to your riding position. — The University of Tokyo
The Japanese are never short of ideas when it comes to innovation. After unveiling a first prototype this spring, the University of Tokyo is now presenting a new version of its “poimo” concept (“POrtable and Inflatable MObility”), an inflatable electric scooter. The aim is to create an easily transportable device for use as and when needed.
The “poimo” project is the fruit of a collaboration between researchers from the University of Tokyo and the research and development division of the startup Mercari (Mercari R4D).
