    As I don't do a lot of miles these days, I was thinking about getting something smaller.

    I wonder if the make ones that can be pulled by a dog. Although in my case, I would be pulling it and dog would be riding.

    @Daniel W chuckle!!! A beloved pooch, huh?

    I've never been in one of those. How comfortable are they?
    I've idly pondered getting a mini or a very small EV.

    Reminds me of when our eldest was three. He liked to get out of his pushchair and walk when my wife went shopping, so our miniature poodle would get in.

    Err..

    It was just something I found on YouTube. I wouldn't want one.

    Wasn't impressed with some of the welding. A lot of nuts and bolts, but few washers.

    I smiled at the sticker on the back.

    DISC BRAKE

    So, just one then eh? On the front wheel.

    I was impressed with the amount of design, engineering, and precision that must go into what is a small, basic vehicle.

    I don’t know which face to choose, Pac.
    I have just ridden many kilometres in them. Also in those pulled by bikes and people.

    Hey there! I'm new to this forum, and I was just scrolling through the topics when I came across your post. I was in a similar situation recently when I found a car that needed fixing but was in another state. I did some research and found some info about how to transport a car to another state which was really helpful. It was a relief to know that I didn't have to worry about driving the car myself and potentially causing more damage. If you're interested, I can share some info on how to transport a car to another state. Good luck with your car search!
