Now these look interesting as a little runaround. Could well be tempted.

It's fake. All the photos are just renders, they haven't even built a prototype. Their timescale is laughable.
It's just an investment scam.
Their instagram account suggests otherwise:It's just an investment scam.

I'm thinking this looks great! It actually looks fully thought-through and fully resolved. As a piece of design, at least.

The pictures on the Instagram account is of the concept car they built in 2017. Was pushed onto the stage at the launch event. Some short clips of it moving has been published, but the drivetrain is unknown.https://www.instagram.com/teamuniti/

The production car is so far only renderings.
Please use Google Translate to read this article about the financial situation at Uniti: https://www.bytbil.com/nyheter/nya-svenska-elbilsm...
"Now the prices are official for the small Swedish electric car Uniti One. The city car with space for three costs from SEK 168,000 after an environmental bonus. However, BytBil can reveal several question marks around the Swedish company.
The Crown Magistrate has chased Uniti for tax liabilities - and the company violates the Accounting Act by not submitting the annual report for 2018.
- We had liquidity problems, but we solved that. We will send in the annual report after the Annual General Meeting on October 22, says Aisha, who is responsible for finance."
"As late as February, the company raised SEK 17 million via crowdfounding on the British platform Crowdcube. They have previously assumed that they would employ 1000s of people in Landskrona, something they backed off. The company has also been indebted to the Crown Prosecutor's Office in 2018 and 2019, in total there are nine payment remarks of SEK 1.3 million. among other things, the company misapplied its tax payments.
In addition, the company has recently received fines from the Swedish Companies Registration Office, since they have ignored submitting an annual report in accordance with the Accounting Act. They have already received a fine of SEK 10,000. The annual report would have been submitted on July 31, but the Swedish Companies Registration Office has not yet received it.
BytBil has applied for CEO Lewis Horne, but eventually gets hold of a person who claims to be financially responsible and is called "Aisha".
- It was a lot of details and we have had a lot of new stuff that we have to learn this year, so it was delayed with the annual report, we have had to pay tax surcharge but it is resolved. We will submit an annual report after the Annual General Meeting on October 22."

Note how there are no pictures of the inside, only renders. Even the video of it driving looks fake like the guy was photoshopped in to a rendered moving vehicle.
Anyway, until they let journalists near a working prototype it's fake.
What was that other crowd funded one that was an i3 with body kit? That hasn't delivered either, and theirs could actually be driven.
