Personal mobility is all the rage now. The ceremonial burial of the argument for bigger is better was seen a few days ago when the Hummer brand went down harder than, well, a Hummer.
The tricycle-inclined Honda 3R-C is basically a pod car that runs on lithium batteries. Although only a concept right now the Honda 3R-C is set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The new wave of autos is going to be small, and this little guy certainly packs a lot of potential into its little frame.
