Say Hello to Peugeot's new baby,a 4 wheel crossover between a car and a scooter which is just under the size of a Smart car.
For a small electric vehicle it has very good credentials, amongst them are:- it's electric, therefore no gas emissions, measures less than 2.5metres, weighs less than 600kg which  allows it to accelerate to 19mph in 2.8 seconds and from 19mph to 37mph in 4 seconds and has a range of circa 75 miles.
