Measuring just 2.41 metres long, it is classed as a “light quadricycle” much like the Renault Twizy. And this means that it can be legally driven in France by teenagers as young as 14-years old while in the rest of Europe, it can be driven by 16-years olds.

It also has an incredibly stripped down interior – you need to use your own phone and a Bluetooth speaker if you want a basic bit of functionality like listening to music.

The small battery means it can be fully charged from a standard 220v European wall outlet in just three hours.
