2-up in a Toyota i-Road!

It's obviously a bit cosy, but this photo proves that the Toyota i-Road is capable of taking 2 people, out of the wind, rain and cold. It's a very compact package; less than 3ft wide, and lighter and shorter than a Quasar. Lighter than a Honda Pan European ST1100 too.
Note that the vehicle behind is a Toyota 4-wheeler which although slightly bigger than the i-Road, can only take one person!

C-evo? FFs?

OK, so no C-evo evaluation as an FF powertrain. Instead an entry on something that's not even a PTW, let alone an FF. Of course everyone needs a wide range of interests. I'm a keen Gardener for instance. But this is bikeweb, the go-to site for all matters FF, where E-power could be described as currently trending. So what's this about? There are other sites for E-'cars', tilters and so on, just not this one.

Although it's amasingly interesting that the lower half of the door is transparent. No, not really.

Maybe I should start a thread about the difficulties of growing over-wintered broadbeans in the face of ever-warmer weather.. Then there's the garlic.
