Yamaha launches 'suitcase on wheels'

Yamaha's BOBBY
|
Japanese Motor giant Yamaha is slated to launch a new series of mini-scooters which can fold up to resemble a suitcase on wheels.
The Yamaha BOBBY, which was recently debuted at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show, has a variety of Internet features and is turned on with a cell phone.
The mini-scooter can be turned on and off by Sony's smart IC e-cards (FeliCa), the same technology applied in many Japanese train ticket systems and cash cards.
Although still just a prototype, the BOBBY seems to be intended as a business commuter's travel gadget, and since nothing quite like it exists yet, the company hopes its uniqueness will be attractive.
