Could we be seeing more of these on our commutes?

Found this link of obscure cars and MSN are almost poking fun at this new car:

Now forgive me, but surely we need more like this. You're more vulnerable and more likely to drive cautiously. It'll save a shed load of fuel. It will be p*** easy to park. It takes up far less space on the road. It looks pretty funky considering.Oh and no ved iirc.

IIRC, they had one on Top Gear a while back. Jeremy Clarkson secretly liked it I think.

I keep seeing one of those scooter trike things on my commute: like one of the larger scooters, but with two wheels at the front. Sort of halfway between a normal scooter and one of that Lumeneo. Just the job for those who want to whizz around London (other cities available) if you don't want to get wet/a bit sweaty/all the other reasons people give for not cycling.

Saw a Gwiz or whatever they are called on my commute last Thurday before Bank Holiday.

Nah this is a new car. The Clarkson fave (where he drove through the offices of the Beeb) was an old car from the 60s iirc. Had a moped engine, this is electric.

Wonder what FCN it has, if it's electric it won't be that swift

80mph. Not sure of the acceleration. Its 450kg.. all those batteries.

Okay quite swift but at that speed the range will be a bit limited, and bloody hell it weighs nearly half the weight of my car.

More like a motorquadrike than a car, for people who don't want to cycle and be fit they should get this.

Will have to google later. Must have missed the new one.

I hope not. They'll be squeezing down the cycle lanes, you watch :?
