Renault Twizy!
Obviously it's French but....
I think it looks great! Really good interesting concept. Renting the battery makes sense too!

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Im not convinced, but its not a shocking idea. Its only marginally cheaper to run than a scooter, and not that much better. Barely safer, couldnt
filter past traffic, and not much more luggage room than a good rucksack!
Imagine how economical an electric scooter would be?

Saw it being driven by Otis at the Gadget Show over weekend.
I reckon it'll be great for managers to drive around big factory floors.
Renault are taking the pee with their proposed battery rental charges!

Looks quite funky.
I drive a small cheap car for my daily commute.
If I was in the market for a new car at about £6k (which I'm not) then I would consider this.
Especially if I could get Work to charge it up in the mornings, so no leccy bill increase for me.
I drive about 40 miles a day, so as long as it could handle approx 150 miles in one charge I'd be happy to have one.

Oh I don't know, factor it into your fuel costs and consider that if you own the battery the degredation is your problem. I mean my laptop
battery lasts about 10 minutes now...

That's how the continentals write 1,454mm, but you knew that I'm sure
