Small, but bigger than a For2 and probably a decent commuter car (with the right drive train). In 20 years, assuming private autos are still legal, I wouldn't be surprised if there were millions of electric things that look like that on the world's roads. Cheers, Scott.

Research conducted at the University of Oxford has proven conclusively that a cat on a table will inevitably push anything on it off the edge and onto the floor.

“The only obvious conclusion that we have been able to come to is that the Earth must be ball shaped, or cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.”
