Along with SAIC, GM’s China based partner, the company showed off three new concepts in the personal mobility category, all able to seat two people.

EN-V, by the bye, is an acronym. It stands for Electric Networked Vehicle. The three are named Xiao, which translates into Laugh; Maio, which translates into Magic; and Jiao, which translates into Pride. That is the one pictured here.

You might be thinking, as I did, that no one would ever have any use for such vehicles. But consider the crowded streets of Shanghai and other major cities in China. These might be just the thing.
