Still better build quality than a real RAM, and the chassis probably
won't bend like it's made of cheese either!

In some European countries, they had a vehicle category that beast would
fit perfectly into.

In France it is the L6e category (light quadricycle) and no driver's
licence is required though a vehicle registration permit/third party
insurance plus plates are.

Limits are: top speed 45kph, power output 4 kW for BEV, petrol up to
50cc and diesel engines allowed, weight max 425 kg unladen. Naturally,
with the permissible top speed, they aren't allowed on motorways and
other high speed routes.

L6e is an EU category, before that each country like France, German
Belgium and the Netherlands had their own catagories and standards. Now
it's an EU standard.

That RAM thing is probably a little bit to big to fit into l6e catagory.

Similar as the Netherlands where those kind of 'invalide autokes' as we
called them in Noord Brabant have been common since the 50's in one form
or another. The infrastructure in the EU where they are common caters
for these kind of micro-cars.

Yes, the Brits had something similar but were limited to 3 wheelers.
Invacar used to make appropriate units.

Perfect for running around villages with narrow streets.

sure, but I meant couldn't be registered here. good to know they can be
used on roads elsewhere tho. we are behind the 8ball, as usual.

Yeah, it's predecessor was the Carte Grise, a slang term for all early
vehicle registrations but, as you say, superseded by the Euro versions.
I have been looking at these in youtube vids, fascinating little jiggers.>

That RAM thing is probably a little bit to big to fit into l6e catagory.

Probably in the overall power category.>

Well sort of, but the RAM 1500 has suffered badly from chassis cracking
and the brand generally quite a number of recalls.

Typical yank quality problems.

and the chassis probably won't bend like it's made of cheese either!
