Nissan Land Glider Concept (2009)
Concept car · 2009 · Electric
A leaning, narrow-track electric city commuter
The Land Glider was a narrow, electric personal-mobility concept just 1.1 metres wide that leaned into corners like a motorcycle, tilting up to 17 degrees under computer control based on speed, steering angle and yaw. It seated two occupants in a 1+1 tandem layout and replaced the steering wheel with an aircraft-style yoke. Power came from twin electric motors and floor-mounted lithium-ion batteries, with a non-contact wireless charging system.
