I would like to see new design based on an old Volkswagen 1960`s camper van. Cool and stylish but all the modern techologies. :-) Maybe even a battery pack or fuel cell in the back instead of a conventional engine. :-)

It seems to be more like a mobility scooter, no use if you have more than one person or luggage but for a local commute it might work, but then so would a mobility scooter or bike.

Another designers nightmare! Why electric? A range of only around 100 miles and a good eight hours spent recharging, has anybody worked out the life spaqn of the batteries? 18 to 24 months? Then what does it cost to replace them? I'll tell you; both arms and at least one leg!
And by the way, can some-one give Melvin some spelling lessons, his credibility ha gone out of the window!

Way to go is hydorgen and flywheel technology not electric.

  Hydrogen? You mean like the gas that was in the R101 when it blew up? The gas that isn't allowed in tunnels without a police escort? Might be a tad impractical.

  worse, the hydrogen molecule is the smallest around. It leaks out of steel tanks like using a wooly jumper to hold water. After a week or two or less if you filled up full, your tank is empty. On top of that in order to get a decent amount in you have to put it under enormous pressure, and so one cannot park such cars in park houses etc. Electric produces far more torque than any combustion engine and right from the first rpm.

  Hydrogen will never be an energy saver - to get it into the car uses more energy than petrol.
  'Way to go is hydrogen' reminds me of some of the early stock market advice.
  ' Invest in the Gas Light Company this new fangled 'electricity' is just a fad'

Tiny and Narrow, and that is unusual.

Mia urban bus

While not everyone has heard of the electric Mia ‘micro bus’, check out its racy credentials: the driver sits in the middle, like in a McLaren F1. Racy credentials done and dusted, the Mia has a set of sliding rear doors (which will surely dent the range), and at just 2.87 metres long, is absolutely tiny.
