Probably narrow enough to filter, but wide enough to count as a tricycle-car rather than a bike, although I don't keep track / care about the current licensing. It should mean no helmet though.

13.5 hp ("continuous", peak will be higher)
101 foot torques
Claimed 93 mile range.
Limited to 55mph
€6,000 (£5,355)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm so enthused about that I'll be double-positive: Aye, right.

Does the hipster come as standard or is it an expensive option?

It looks like it might be inflatable.

Surely there comes a point where it's quicker and easier to just take the vehicle somewhere fairly scenic, put two people in the fucking thing and take a photo of it.

Instead of photoshopping stock images of passengers into a 3D rendered image of the vehicle on a stock background then dropping a shadow under it in defiance of the laws of physics.

Probably. He's evidently got a big ol' square of duct tape over his gob to prevent leakage

Quicker and easier than emailing an agency on the Indian subcontinent and have a single Photoshop operator bash this out in hour or so? I think not...

I am not so sure. Those thin legged people look to me like they are off for a shag in the woods.

Is the drivers back rest removable?

This will appeal to eco people not disimillar to myself except that I know about the range limitations of the claimed eu figures and range being "in a blue moon".

In the real world with hills and junctions 40-50 miles maximum.
and no windcreen wiper is going to make the thing fun to drive on those wonderful wet winter nights - we all know the ones - where the taxis don't care about anything smaller than a truck.

When a key feature is that the documentation is on-board then you know it is a poor product.
