if these were £2-3k they would be worth having
but they're £7k, you can buy a proper car for that,
these have most of the downside of an electric vehicle, and most of the downside of a motorbike, with none of the upsides

They are quite fun, but as said not great for our climate and the lack of proper doors is just asking for trouble in a city imo.

The suspension feels like it's non existent but I know from experience you can fit two fat blokes in one and while the range may suffer and it feels like you're stuffed in a plastic microwave container it works.

Excellent choice of vehicle OP, I couldn't think of anything better to spend my hard earned on.

Please report back once who have made such a fine purchase.

Loads of fun, perfect for city commuting, ideal for those city car schemes.
Less so for our weather in all honesty (and conservative car buying public)

I've seen a few of them around. Fabulous looking little things, so much more interesting than most sports/super cars.

As someone said above though, they're pretty hopeless from a practical perspective. I think you can get full weather gear for them, but I've no idea how good it is.

I think they are charming little things. If I was on holiday somewhere warm and dry, I'd love to have one for a week.
But not in our climate, on our roads, at £7k, plus £50 a month to rent the battery.
