I like it! I think it's the perfect car for modern megacities. Two seats are quite enough. Think about it, how often do you drive a car with three or four passengers? As a rule, there are always 1-2 passengers in a car in the city. Imagine how much this can affect the problem of parking and traffic jams on the roads? We have 13 million people and 4 million cars in Moscow. Sometimes, traffic jams are just huge. People love big sedans and SUVs, but over time, driving them has become really problematic, not to mention parking. It would be cool if people switched to motorcycles and scooters, but this is possible no more than 5 months a year when it's 20-30 degrees Celsius outside, but in winter, when it's 20-30 degrees below zero, you can't drive a lot on a scooter, to be honest.

It can't possibly be legal to drive without a license, you'd have no idea how to read traffi signs and obey the laws. There is no such things as a car for people with no license.

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@yourmom9200 and yet it is sold exactly like that. In most countries indeed you need a minimal license, and you need to be age 14 (16 in most countries) to drive it!

[@yourmom9200]

@@johnnypovdrives Is there a country that allows someone to drive on public roads with no knowledge about traffic laws and no license? If there is then there sure as hell shouldn't be. I don't care how slow that car is, no one should be allowed on public roads without knowledge of traffic laws.

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@yourmom9200 I know that people born before a certain year can drive it without license here. But for the young drivers, they need a moped license. Not sure about other countries though.

When it comes to cares lack of things like power steering or power windows is a good feature for me! That is one less thing to break and one less thing to worry about!

[@johnnypovdrives]

True, the more that's pure mechanical and basic, the easier and cheaper it is to maintain in the long run. Only 'tech' thing is the EV drive system.

How bad must it be in winter on cold damp days for condensation on the windows..? Visibility must surely be diminished! OK in summer but I suspect winter will be a massive test of your resolve..but I stand corrected if it isn't a problem!

[@johnnypovdrives]

It will be very bad in winter, let alone in the snow. Parking it inside would be best I guess…

[@razank8996]

I think, in summer it‘ll be not much better. Visibility…ya maybe, but with so many windows you‘ll have a lot of heat inside. And i guess, this car doesn‘t really have a climatic, but two flip windows and a loud fan 😂

[@zargonfuture4046]

Great concept but they could put in just a bit more of comfort with the fan and those windows, I'd also find a way to have the accelerator and brake hand manipulated for easier driving, the speed could be upped to 60kmh max and a bit more robustness for longer trips. Make this the new car for travel with a clip on extra back end for luggage ect. Make a twice size one as a 4 passenger with 4 doors all using the interchangeable consept. Still my kind of no nonsense personal transport.

[@mattx3855]

This car is made for 14 old years kids, the legal maximum speed in France for them is 45km/h, no licence is needed (as 50cc motobike but it's safer and it costs only 20€/month + electricity of course).

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks, good comment! With the extra size they loose the small size advantage, I don't see that happening tbh.

Watch out for security. One thing is that they limit the speed according to regulations, the other is that on an apparently simple slope you crash and do not run more than 24Km, which on interurban roads, is a danger because the cars come from behind at 70km/80km and you get scared Besides, they make you give birth and overtake you even if there is a continuous line, with the danger that this implies if someone comes from the other lane. This happens to us because we live in a town 4 km from the city. It has no strength on the climbs, as I say, it is a danger and a major mistake. On the other hand, it seems impossible, but no. At this point, they have made a vehicle that when it rains and you open the door, the car floods. Really? So few lights? Me, I wouldn't buy it again.

[@johnnypovdrives]

I can relate! There was water in my test car in the mornings. Too bad you have a bad experience with it. It sure is fun to drive in ideal conditions, but the examples you are giving indeed make it hard to enjoy as a daily driver. 😕
