This New E-Boom From Toyota Is For Those Harry Potter Fans

The latest mobility platform of Toyota called an “e-broom” has an appearance of a futuristic witch broom with which users can ride around. And for those who are a fan of the Harry Potter series, especially those who are a fan of the quidditch game, would find this concept intriguing.

However, the e-broom of Toyota cannot lift people from the ground just yet, like in the quidditch game in Harry Potter but as long as they put in roller-skates, the broom can propel them on the ground.

The rider will ride the e-broom like how we see a witch with their broom in the movies. But instead of using magic to make its users airborne, it uses an electric motor along with a wheel to pull its rider ahead at a moderate speed. Although it’s not as impressive as we thought it would be, at least it has taken us one step closer to a real-life witch broom.

Besides some photos as well as a small demonstration of the e-broom at the Tokyo Motor Show which was held recently, we don’t have a lot of information regarding this e-broom. There’s nothing has been revealed about the capacity of the battery or the motor, its maximum speed or whether it’s going to be made commercially available. The only thing that we know is at the tip of the broom houses a transparent cat. But we don’t why it is there and what it can do.

Toyota’s announcement of the e-broom which looks like a witch broom got those Harry Potter and quidditch fans excited. However, unless they plan on using roller-skates, they will have to wait for some time longer for an improved ride.
