AMsterdam and micro cars [View all]

Spent a couple of weeks in the Nederlands a week ago. Some time in Amsterdam. I had seen some micro-cars before, including ones where the back door drops down to make a ramp for wheel chair users to get in so they can drive.
The newer ones are much sleeker in design. The ones I saw had a little number sticker for ID purposes. Low speed limit but great for short hops around a very crowded city. The two I am picturing hold 2 people. The dark one is tanden seating with motorcycle like controls for the front wheel.The red one is side by side seating.

Here is a link to an article about them from Bloomberg.ticflickr.com/65535/53973704148_5962239f8a_c.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2qetkQ1]PXL_20240902_
