those are awesome. Kinda looks like a mini got a little frisky with a smart car... If they sold those in the states I'd probably own 3 of them.

Cool links. Thanks. I do stand corrected. Adn actually it shoud have been obvious that an OPEC nation would top that list.

For the heavy ones you always need a licence of sorts - almost any one will do though.

The light ones (max speed 45 kph) only require a licence when one is born in 1988 or later.



In Belgium, they are only licence-free when one was born on 14 february 1961 or earlier.
