Personal Pod

The only word that describes traffic aptly is: BAD! Try this, ask your friend, partner or just anyone who uses a car…’how’s the traffic’, and like a chorus you will get only one reply: B A D. So what is the solution, do we buy fewer cars or use only public transportation? The debate and perceptions are endless! Till we come up with something concrete lets think about personalized commuting, where a traveler uses individual pods. The Folding Electric Vehicle is what I’m talking about.

As a green alternative, it’s compact and smart, plus it occupies less space. This means parking the vehicle will not be a problem. Better than ruining your business suit on a Segway, and definitely offering more protection! With zippies like this, traffic shouldn’t be so bad!
