Could this new British single-seater pod 'transform future mobility'?

So somebody has just produced a brand new vehicle that's just like a Renault Twizy, except with one less seat.  The Twizy was first launched in 2012, and you can buy one from your local Renault dealer now.

 

 

I had a play in a Twizzy at our 'Environment' Arena (this was actual at the IET Switzerland AGM).

My wife was initially skeptical about the space in the back but found it ok. I also had a go on a Segway, hard to start and stop but okay when going along, and one of the electric delivery trikes that the Swiss Post uses. This had regenerative braking in the first part of the twist grip movement which combined with the instability of a three wheeler under braking caused a couple of anxious moments.


Best regards


Roger
