'iSAVE YOU'  shock absorbing electric vehicle 

 

 

covered in an airbag-like body panels, japanese start-up humanix has developed a three-wheel shock resistant electric vehicle,
that springs back to its original form after absorbing impact. using cushions made of fabric and sponge, the material will absorb
shock in the case of an impact, aiming to protect both passengers and pedestrians. known as the 'iSAVE YOU', the golf cart-like
vehicle has a top speed of 50km/h (30mph) with a maximum range of 50km (30 miles) and can be recharged with any regular
120v or 240v household electrical outlet.
