The aim of this project is to make all the daredevils out there drive safely and mostly ,,Clever". In fact, with all the pollution out there, it comes naturally for the electric vehicles to appear like fat mushrooms after a warm spring rain. I personally like this one best. Probably because it makes me think of Easy Rider's fellows. By the way: "Have you ever wanted to be somebody else?" With this plastic baby, it shouldn't be that hard.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Germans, who invented the Porsche, have thought about the development of a vehicle that would be enough for two people that would require little space and especially very low consumption. The manufacturers even claim that the safety of this great vehicle is comparable to that of a conventional small car, maybe a Smart.

According to Clever, compared to most of the smallest and most economical mass-produced vehicles on the market, their vehicle is said to have halved their emission values, so it should develop approximately 15 kW, with a kerb weight of 400 kg and a front-end surface of 1m2, and Co2 emissions of less than 60 g per km.

Just to give a clearer picture on this eco-friendly vehicle, you should know that it features two seats, its length is 3066 mm, the width is 998mm and the height is 1388mm, with a weight of less than 400 kilos.

In addition, Clever reveals that the vehicle's wheelbase is of 2450mm, the track width is 835mm. The device has a 17" front wheel and two 18-inch rear wheels. Moreover, the vehicle is designed to tilt when cornering, and has a PC controlled hydraulic rolling system, which enhances the owner with zero lateral forces, while driving at full speed, at tilting angles of up to 45 degrees, which should be kind f similar with riding a Harley.

By the way, the top speed is a surprisingly good one of 100kph, while the acceleration from 0 to 60kph is achieved in less than 7 seconds with a range of 200km. Wow!

Although it is said to have a resistant plastic body, the vehicle sports an aluminum space frame. I have to admit its best art is that it doesn't try to follow any stupid trend in the industry. It's just the imagination of the designer and some futuristic flavored shapes, simply irresistible!
