James! So this is what you were up to in central London few weeks ago! Wow. Never even heard of a Biro. Good car for busy central London. Although couple drawbacks, firstly you are right in middle of all the traffic air pollution, and secondly with the mad traffic it looks quite fragile in event of getting caught in a crash (like a motorbike). Love idea of taking out and charging batteries! 👍. Great video as always. - The PlugSeeker
Sitting in Heathrow on my way back to Scotland from Amsterdam. Really loved these in Amsterdam and looking at one. Only thing putting me off is the small removable battery. They should make a larger removable one. Living in an apartment with basement parking I need to be able to remove to charge
Sofala £11k sounds a lot. But as a business model it makes perfect sense for ride sharing. Not sure how long it would take to get your money back though. Depends on cost of hire I guess.
Omg james I’ve had a lot of electric scooters think about 8 to 10 electric ones & this little car reminds me of one of them as when I heard you guys in the little electric car I head the inner wheel motor & looks likes it just drives one rear wheel I am gonna guess and say about 4,000 wats motor ?? But also the dash is from the e-max scooter aswell was a great little scooter had a boost button press once it lasted the bust for one minute..
In Australia any car needs to do 65 kmph to be viable replacement, apart from that ridiculous front opening skylight it looks more practical than most other similar things I have seen... If I could get one at a reasonable price I'd sell my car.
Great product for sharing as he said, yes price is a lot 11k plus VAT but if shared by a number of people makes sense as most of our cars sit idle for 95% of the time
This brings back nightmares of the g-ziz, it’s cars like this I’m so glad Nissan and Mitsubishi came out with there alternatives at that time, so with 3kw you get about 12 to 15 miles range, just enough for the zero emissions zone but not much else, I think I’ll stick with the leaf
Driving my Twizy in this hot London summer 😎 without the windows is a real pleasure... How hot was it with the plexiglass windows? Can you remove just the windows?
Love this idea....but no matter how tiny it’s still a one metre wide car which would not get through traffic any quicker than he did when describing his journey in at the beginning of the video. Of course a small electric car is always preferable for environmental reasons and parking in urban environments and I can see hiring them to tourists would be great too. I still believe that beating traffic environmentally is best done on on an electric bike or electric moped. I understand that safety and weather becomes an issue with two wheels but honestly for now it’s the only way to beat traffic. E bikes now are getting better all the time and routinely have 40 miles of range. This idea is to be applauded though.
You could have edited out you driving that pollutant vehicle after all this is about you demonstrating a pollutant free transport, start as you mean to go on. It would be far better to have audio only and be able to see an outside recording of the vehicle being driven on the road doing it this way make for sense to the viewer.
That's obviously a golf cart. 7kWh isn't going to take anything far but at £11k+vat it's not cheap enough to be a spare car. Why would you get this over a plug in hybrid which would serve the normal car purpose and have a pretty similar electric range to this. It's also not going to add £13200 to the price of the car. Or be a death trap without a heater.
I really don't see the benefit. Less safe than a car, less agile than an electric scooter. Take away delivery scooters are being replaced with E Bikes in the Netherlands. That seems like a much more healthy and environmentally freindly solution to me and doesn't add as much to congestion. For car sharing, a proper car like a Zoe would seem more logical to me. Safer and usable for journeys out of the city.
hello james love watching your videos but this is a toy, it makes my badly made g-wizz look spacious and roomy. for £11000 you could buy a bloody good nissan leaf second hand with all the advantages of an ev and carry four people in comfort. greater range and higher road speed plus better carrying capacity. and you could use it in london !
Would prefer it as one person version so it has more maneuverability on pedestrian areas and cycling paths as it's not a car. Also making the black Biro a limited edition version is just retarded, it should be the base model. Don't try to advertise this as some expensive luxury item, people might actually want to ride one for it's comfort and other practicality.
What a great city/share car, Twizzy without battery lease and with proper doors. Winner.
That is spectacularly good! What an 'intelligent' little machine. Love it! Hope it does really well.
Alun Hoskins I think to date it’s doing very well all over Europe, hopefully the trend will continue 👍🏻
Great video guys! I love the idea of the removable battery- perfect for city driving with no on street charging!
She_s Electric 🙏🏼
Yes - just need a bigger battery 🔋
Smiled all the way through, loved it. What a quirky but very useable EV. Well presented James 😀
This is awesome James. Doesn’t look incredibly comfortable. But it’s clearly about being a cheap & clean environmental mode of transport.
Go on James, take one up to Aberdeen! :D
Craig Brown no, no, no I won’t 🤔
Great little car. Could have these at airports, ferrying people about.
Fairy is the correct word for any man driving around in this.

Great for the city. Longer journeys ? Hinckley to Aberdeen would be a challenge. Maybe in the Summer James ? Room for Kate too.
Very interesting little car, might have broader appeal if it's top speed was 60/65 kmh but that's just me. 👍👍
They released the new Biró Bolt the 24th of July this year with max speed of 60km/h.
Like ALL ev's that price is way too much! £11000 really? Another great video, thanks.

Mark Gaudie Founder of Northwest England EV Owners. Yes you have a point I was just moaning generally about the price of EV's.
Great video. Cars like that in places like London are the future.

Great Video Guys! I Love your Video its So Arty and Good to Watch!
Brilliant 👍
Seat behind seat (Renault Twizy) occupies much less space on the road, just like a bike/motorbike.
Looks like it's easier to get in & out of, compared with the Twizzy?
Cool video James looks fun to drive
Great video. I like that - needs a heater for the UK though. If I lived in a city I'd probably prefer a bike just for traffic filtering capability.
If I lived in London, I would just not bother driving altogether. TfL offers really good service.
you can set up a camp fire in the trunk LOL
@@jur4x the only City on the UK with a "decent" transport infrastructure as it sucks up 80% of the entire UK development budget.
Dit superleuk karretje is te koop bij Citronics is Den Haag!
So this is better then the Renault twizy? Does it include doors without extra paying and is the price better then the Renault twizy?
The horn is more powerful than the Nissan Leaf horn.
Using the word "powerful" when discussing this eggcrate is funny.

I want one, please. This would be great for getting to work. What is the range.
Thank you for the great video!
How can I buy one of these cars and deliver it to UK/Ireland?
Can you recommend any insurance companies?

I think they are an awesome for a public sharing platform in the city. Didn't catch the price though. But, I'm still in love with the Twizy.
Anti Petrolhead £11000.
TheKnightsShield Yes, but with two batteries to change.
Franz Josef Kerkhoff True, but at least you own both batteries and don't have to pay someone each month to keep them. 😉
Driving my Twizy in this hot London summer 😎 without the windows is a real pleasure... How hot was it with the plexiglass windows? Can you remove just the windows?
Eric Lafoy sadly you can’t remove just the windows, but the forward facing sunroof gives great ventilation when you’re moving 👍🏻
This video is now over two years old. Why can't you buy a Biro in the UK yet?
reminds me of a smart car
Smart car can go a bit faster. Way faster. Especially Brabus version, on autobahn :)
I like it.
They have these for rent in Rotterdam!!
come test it in Malta
£11k, though!
must be fun colliding with a FFRR
The driver is making me nervous. You dont have to look at the other guy to hear. Be more responsible on the road.
Destined to become a Deliveroo company fleet car?
Bob Harding-Williams it’s funny you should say that, it’s on the cards. They were also in attendance 👍🏻
So annoying how he butchers the other guy's name as Jo-Vaahnee...

Hmm! What A Car Maybe 1st What Think A Buy Not Others
That indicator beep is really annoying. The twizzys is much cooler sounding.
Conor Nugent agree with you there on the annoying noise.
That's the point :) I've lost count how many times I saw someone driving with their indicator on, not even realising it's on.
I turned it off 😳
That's obviously a golf cart. 7kWh isn't going to take anything far but at £11k+vat it's not cheap enough to be a spare car.

Thanks James.
When do you expect Jonathan to ask you to drive one up to Orkney? February maybe? ;-D

$14,000 ouch. I can buy a user Smart car for that. 😕
no no no..... you are joking right?. makes my enfield 8000 seem hi tech........my grans buggy has more appeal , this a backward step surely?.........
Hello !To much prize Then When I watched Pages But Mayb Good
Only usable in countries with goatcart roads.
