Such a cute little car and perfect as a runabout in a cramped city such as Tokyo. My major problems with EVs are that most of them are utterly enormous and impractical for city use, hence we need more vehicles like this.
@@jimmynoodlepickle740 The trend of cars in generals is towards SUVs, all cars are getting bigger. EVs are no exception, and are even more so affected because what people want most from EVs is range, and a lot of range requires large batteries - which do not have room in small cars. So there are tons of giant EVs like the Tesla Model Y and X, the Nissan Ariya, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6, ...
As an American who loves fast cars (especially JDM fast cars!) I gotta say this little thing sure does get up to speed quickly!! Dry neat car I subscribed for more to see where else you go!
I would honestly go insane by this non-stop speeching at the startup lol, but this little car seems like a fun thing to drive, and really practical at these narrow roads at Japan
In Japan we have scooters that have a roof and windshield. They also usually have 2 wheels in the back but it still leans like a normal scooter. They are mostly used for pizza delivery and stuff like that.
I love Japan. Everything looks so clean and well kept. No vandalism. You see signs and vending machines on the street and nobody breaks them or sprays over them. Everything seems clean, no thrown away trash on the street anywhere. I wish people in other countries had so much respect for their surroundings like the Japanese people do.
@@Kartoshka721 Más de 120 detenidos en Moscú en menos de una semana, por estar en contra de la guerra. O como le llama la propaganda del gobierno "pequeña Intervención Militar"
@@Kartoshka721 Jajajaja Hablas de no saber nada de politica, pero tú te tragas toda la propaganda rusa del gobierno. Y defiendes un gobierno dictatorial. Es por eso que Rusia tiene una economía peor que la de Italia, y por eso permiten que Rusia sea una oligarquía. Pueblo pobre, gobierno rico. Adoctrinado. Gas de Africa, gas de Canada o medio oriente barato
i loved the quite... the quite city i mean... being able to just hear the sweet sounds of your machine without the disturbance of any ambient city noise was a bliss... i wish my city was this quite and i could enjoy the sounds of my car... loved it... thanks for sharing
Most modern pay gates have a sensor which detects when a car as completely passed and cleared the gate. Older ones might try to give your car a sunroof, though.
Same here. I thought "do you really need to put your seat belt on when the gate is open? Just get through with it and deal with the seat belt later". That made me nervous.
I got to drive one of Toyota’s prototypes four years ago at a formula SAE event in Michigan. It was super fun to drive. For those that don’t know, it leans into the turns so that it doesn’t fall over, and the turning wheel is the rear wheel. Also it’s electric.
Tokyo has the highest public transit ridership in the world. Make viable alternatives to driving and people will stop ripping up the roads with their cars.
I was having an anxiety when he was taking all his time at the ticket machine. Dude in my country, you have to get out within seconds before the automated ticket barrier closes again.
@@KESTRAL23 I'm not American but i've been to 11 countries (in Europe and Africa) and in all those countries you only have a limited amount time to cross the opened barried until it closes again.
@@Gorrilaz2405 exactly 15 seconds would be about the max my patience could stand on that thing... kind of like TVs that talk to you when you change the volume or the channel
I'm surprised at how well maintained the roads are in Japan. Tokyo no less. Those are really well looked after roads. There also seems to be more writing on Japanese roads then there are on Canadian roads. It's also interesting to find out that Japan goes left instead of right. I had no idea.
Most people are right-handed and therefore have better spacial awareness and reasoning on their right. This aids with oncoming traffic on your right, especially when turning across oncoming lanes at an intersection. Driving on left side is the high IQ thing to do. ;)
@@kekethetoad literally all it has to do is with horseback combat from ancient rome. a lot easier for right handed people to stab someone on the road on the back of horse while on the left rather than the right
Meanwhile there's the time we were in New Jersey, limit was 50, yet we were doing 20 over but still terrified of being hit cause the rest of the traffic was flying past at 90+
i remember watching this as a kid and saying to my dad “dad buy me this and i will learn how to drive so you won’t have to drive me or drop mee off to school and heck i will take you make you sit on the roof and drive you around” only now reality hit’s me like a atom bomb those were some good good times.
I miss Japan SOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I got to live there for a number of years and absolutely LOVED it. I got to own some amazing cars, go drifting on the streets, and have fun with the Japanese! Such awesome people.
@@thermodynamics1110 your mind's like "Japan is a depression country and have high suicide rates"... wtf my nephew and i live in shibuya, tokyo for 16 years and now we're living in the philippines now... we will be back in japan if the boarder is open again... btw we're at las pinas, manila philippines it's good here and nice people 🙂
Unless you don't look Asian. In that case they will more ostracize you as an outsider. Kinda a thing with Asian cultures to maintain their ways of life and push away "globalism".
Electronic car technology is being better by year, also the genius toyota created hydrogen engine motor future car. But Japan is already polluted by radiation ..
The electricity is made form liquefied natural gas and coal especially more so now since after the earthquake. The advantage is that people will be further away from exhaust as its all localized at a power plant where they can concentrate efforts to reduce pollution. For now that's as good as it can get.
You already stopped thinking long time ago and just regurgitate bullshit climate change propaganda, derp. :) Even if you start from CO² dogma, producing EVs produces 70% more of it.
Adrian Arellano even IF you use only natural gas plants as an energy source for these EVs, they're still more efficient at extracting energy from the fuel than cars are. and these engines are like 90% efficient too, so from production to consumption the energy efficiency of EVs is higher than normal cars. then come renewable sources which are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the fact that you have to account for the pollution from the giant tankers bringing petrol from the platforms, deliver them to trucks which will then finally deliver to petrol stations. also, this weighs almost nothing and is a very compact two-seater (might as wheel be a one-seater honestly. i doubt a human being can fit in the back). it's VERY economical and doesn't take a lot of batteries to take it far enough for a day's work, which is what this is for.
