Not quite a car, not quite a scooter ...

and that is how Peugeot is selling this new kind of vehicle the HYmotion3.

Their concept occupies "a half-way house between the world of the scooter and the car." ... and I don't disagree with that statement, however I don't think its a positive one.

This thing looks like a smart car cut down the middle, it looks like a scooter in a hamster ball, its the bastard son of both that inherited all the bad traits, and has few innovations to show from its merging of two worlds. Its a car without the shelter and storage, and its a scooter with claustrophobia. Sorry Peugeot, car drivers want the luxuries of a car, and scooter drivers want the wind in their hair, this thing is just an exercise in sci-fi fantasy, and has little practicality as the evolution of car and scoot.
