Matthew: I doubt it. At least on a motorcycle you have the power to get out of the way of larger vehicles. That thing looks to have all the zip and pep of a snail on thorazine.

According to the link, it’s “urban and suburban”, i.e. not really for use on the open road. It’s more a 4-wheel motor scooter than a car. Notice how it’s single-seat? Not safer than a car, but I bet you it’s safer than a motorcycle.

Hmmm, that’s a long way from the Tesla Roadster.

“Wraparound bodywork creates a safe, reassuring cocoon”

LOL! And a needle in the seat gives you a host of “something calmative” in traffic. It’s a rather large-bore needle, in case you’re wondering why you feel like you’ve been boned….

I should be going to the show Sunday … Can’t wait to see what the “greener” world will look like … And by that I mean I just want to see some cool cars

This looks like something Gazoo would make for Fred Flintstone.

I wouldn’t want to drive a Twizy through a Wisconsin winter. Imagine driving one to work on a January morning in 6″ of snow at 19 degrees.

Yowza, that’s a deathtrap! Is there any word on how low emissions controls are supposed to square with crash tests? This thing looks like it couldn’t go head-on with some Big Wheels.
