Japan electric rides development

Major motorcycle makers in Japan are coming up with new types of electric vehicles that do not require a driver's license to operate.

They say their latest products are eco-friendly and offer improved safety. Kawasaki Motors is selling an electric three-wheeler that looks like a power-assisted bicycle. The firm says the design borrows from motorcycle technology to offer a comfortable, efficient ride as it wants to develop a new category of vehicles that are safe and offer a feeling of freedom.
