Is it a car? A motorcycle?

We blogged about electric bikes, cars and about the carver. Herman blogged about the one person Lumeneo. This new concept car from Nissan is a combination of all three. The zero-emissions electric car seats two in-line and is just 1.1 meter wide, utilizing motorcycle tires that dip on one side when turning to enable leans of up to 17 degrees.

Autoblog: "Intended to be an urban runabout, the two-seat Land Glider is fully electric and is extremely narrow to ease congestion in dense city centers and make it easier to find suitable parking spots.

Inside the cockpit, the Land Glider's pilot sits front and center behind a suitably futuristic instrument cluster and a steering wheel that looks like twin joysticks. According to Nissan, the steering operations are computer controlled through a drive-by-wire arrangement, so there doesn't seem to be a direct connection between the steering wheel and the car's four contact patches."
