I saw a few of those in Geneva and Monaco, they certainly draw attention, is there any way of sealing up the sides as in windows?

No, it's not that kind of vehicle tbh.
I was told it would need a delisting system, ie heater if it had sealed cabin.

:lol: That does look like great fun!

I can see it being a good thing to have if you only really drive in the town and on nice sunny days. Im not sure what I would do with one, very interesting though, Im surprised its in production :lol:

I think it will not sell many in the uk, due to the weather, you have to think of it as a scooter really. I am getting it purely for advertising, and also,to learn how these things work, although I imagine it's simple enough.
I think it's the most exciting thing Renault have done for a while, and hats off to them for having a go, apparently it sells amazingly well in Rome, due to its small size, I guess the scooter culture is big there too.
A fair few places allow you to recharge free in the uk, and lots more charge stations are due for construction.
Love it or hate it, this type of thing is going to become far more common, so in my field , it's no use standing there and looking at it .
Who knows I may find a way of improving it, we shall see :D
