Title: A stylish eMicrocar

Who wants to be the first? Looks like fun but I wonder whether it will ever show up here.

Looks like this was their inspiration.

I think they knocked off the Vanderhallusa.com Classic

How?  Vanderhall Classic (https://vanderhallusa.com/models-new-classic-2022/) is a 3 wheeler and doesn't have any "back end".  The Patak motors is a 4 wheeler with a boat tail.  Still, Vanderhall looks like a fun line of vehicles!

Thanks for the link, Rodd, thecars do look similar indeed.
I am glad though that Patak didn't copy the Lagonda price!

This also gives a nod to the past - the old Heinkel or Messerschmit midro cars

I'm surprised Isetta doesn't have some design copyright argument for that one!
