T3 Motion, makers of the Segway-ish T3 electric stand-up vehicle and the oddly configured three-wheeled electric R3, has announced that T3 Day is coming to New York City on August 12. Experience Square, located just outside the NYSE, will host the event where riding the T3 will likely be the main attraction. The two-passenger R3 will also be on display.

The T3 is a three-wheeled mobility device designed for use by security personnel. Some of the T3's notable features include its zero-degree turning radius, its ability to hit speeds of up to 15 miles per hour and its 30-mile range. Operating costs for the T3 are claimed to be "less than 10 cents per day."

Moving on to the R3 prototype (pictured), T3 Motion describes it as a "sophisticated plug-in consumer electric vehicle that offers a marriage of advanced technology and environmental friendliness in a stunning package." Out back, the R3 features twin tires mounted on a single rear wheel. The R3's top speed is listed at 70 miles per hour and its range rings in at up to 100 miles. T3 Motion isn't ready to reveal a launch date for the R3, but says a price of $25,000 to $35,000 sounds 'bout right.
