The Walkcar is billed as “the world’s smallest car,” and is capable of fitting into a laptop bag when not in use, while carrying its rider along the pavement at about 10 mph (16 kmh) for up to an hour when needed. It weighs in at just over 6 pounds (2.8 kg), and measures about the same as a 13″ laptop does, so it’s designed to be light and convenient to carry, and to have a quick charging time (one hour). The Walkcar is ‘driven’ by leaning the rider’s body in the desired direction.
