Default Strange car, anyone know what it is?



I was walking down a street with a friend earlier tonight, when this strange car drove up beside us. It was maybe 3 feet tall by 5 feet long (definitely not any bigger than that), had one back wheel and two front wheels. We're in France, but the locals I know say it's not something common to here so I don't think it's just some strange French car. Does anyone have any clue what it is? Unfortunately we weren't able to catch what the brand name said on the side.

Pretty sure it's a glorified bicycle.

I saw that on my way to work once

I think it's too quick for a bicycle.

Yeah, it's most likely a bike.
There's a guy in Calgary that I see once in a while who rides a yellow one.

Like polak said, it seemed too quick for a bicycle. We were on a busy fast paced road and it was easily keeping up with the cars, and when it stopped at the red light and started again it had no issues staying on pace with them, which I find bicycles usually have a bit of lag.

I think I remember seeing that on a show a few years ago. Can't remember the show but it's a 1 seater electric vehicle I'm pretty sure

That's probably what most cars will look like in 10 years.

It's a trike. The thing is super low and aerodynamic. It can get quite the speed.
