Akin to the Segway in their operation, the user grips the smaller Winglets between the knees rather than through a handle. The body of the vehicle – which is 264mm long by 457mm wide – houses an electric motor, two wheels and internal sensors that monitor the user's position and make adjustments in power to ensure stability. The three models vary on height, with the 'S' standing 457mm tall and the 'L' at 1.1m. The 'M' is 671mm high. The vehicles can be ridden at 6km/h for up to 10km.

Toyota is aiming to have the Winglet robots in practical use by the next decade, depending on feedback from various technical and consumer trials.
