Interesting concept. I’m interested to see how many people will find a use for microcars like this:

> Max speed 45 km/h (L6) 70 km/h (L7)

To put it in perspective, the L6 homologated version tops out at 28mph. That’s marginally faster than a golf cart. The whole concept feels a lot like a very, very well designed golf cart.

The bigger L7 version can go a little over 40mph. Thinking of my normal shopping and daily routine, I could make that work. Would be interesting to have an option like this available. I don’t think I’d actually feel safe driving it mixed in with normal size cars at 40mph, though.



I suspect 45kmph is enough for driving in dense part of many cities in the world. Very likely not true in the US, but my main concern would be the risk of being very easily crushed by heavier vehicles.


> 28mph. That’s marginally faster than a golf cart

Golf carts do not go 28 miles per hour.
