This is a motorbike, according to the way this electric vehicle has been classified.
Its a Renault Twizy, retailing at about £7K, and seats two but then with hardly anywhere to put luggage.
Great fun to 'drive' (er, do I mean 'ride'?), there's two wing mirrors and no rear-view mirror. The 'doors' which swing up are optional extras and even then have no windows. (That might be a requirement of its classification as a motorbike.) I didn't have to wear a helmet but I was told that a seat belt was mandatory.
This photo was taken at an electric vehicle (bicycles, motorbikes and cars) try out event at a pharmaceutical manufacturer at Cambridge's Science park.
The event was organised by: www.travelplanplus.org.uk/news/
