Magnetic hybrid motorbike unveiled in Japan
A Japanese vehicle manufacturer unveiled the prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a hybrid magnetic motor, which can run almost noiselessly up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on one charge. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that the battery of the next-generation electric vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the vehicle's maximum speed is capable of reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour).
Nissan The Pivo 2
Japanese car manufacturer Nissan unveils its futuristic three-seat concept car 'Pivo 2' for drivers who find reversing and parking difficult.
The battery-powered concept car can turn its cabin 360 degrees, making driving and reversing easier than a conventional car.
The 'Pivo 2' can even turn its wheels 90 degrees, allowing the car to manoeuvre sideways thereby making it easy to parallel park without having to look back.
And just in case you get bored in the car, 'Pivo 2' is equipped with a robotic agent which can conduct a daily conversation in both English and Japanese with the driver.
Those of you who want to know the price of this driving miracle will have to wait a little longer because Nissan have yet to put a price on the answer to may people's driving nightmare.
