Toyota has shown a prototype of a motorised stand-up-and-ride device designed for scooting around malls and airports.
It said it would start testing the Winglet later in 2008 at a Japanese airport and resort complex and at a shopping mall in 2009 to get feedback from consumers.
Toyota executive Takeshi Uchiyamada, who scooted on to the stage at Friday's media conference in Tokyo on a Winglet, said there were no plans yet to market the machine and no prices had been set.
The Winglet looks very similar to a Segway and uses the same "lean the way you want to go" system of gyros and sensors to control forward and backward movement but has a simple parallel-link mechanism for steering
