The "Egg Car"

Hyundai has developed a new concept for the car of the future, putting a new spin on a mobility scooter - the 'E4U' an egg-shaped, open-topped single person 'scooter'

Hyundai created a weird, egg shaped, concept car for people to roll around in. The "egg" (a.k.a. the E4U) fits one driver and will scoot them along at a causal walking speed.


Doing away with the traditional two-wheel design, the Hyundai concept vehicle instead uses a 'rotating semispherical part'


What makes this car especially unique is that it uses a rotating semi-spherical piece instead of a wheel to move around. This looks much like the lower half of a sphere that's constantly spinning while on the move.


It works like the lower half of a ball, which is constantly spinning and used for propulsion instead of wheels


The driver stands on a platform that also allows the diver to steer by tilting the frame to where they want to go. There are two "legs" on the back of the device that helps with stability from side to side. Since you can never be to safe, rumor has it that there's a matching helmet along with the vehicle.
