It looks bad ass. I would buy one for sure.


Its construction looks solid to me, steel frame and all, I think it would be safer than a bike.

Both concepts are really cool.  I like the "Clever", too:

Regarding safety, here's a quote:

"Clever is safer than it might look. It has special seat belts and a specially developed driver airbag that allowed Clever to comply with the Euro NCAP crash test requirements for small cars at the time. The passengers, who sit tandem, are ensconced in a survival cell."
