The Mia Electric is an Electric City Car with a Central Driver's Seat

I asked the Lane Motor Museum if I could come and film some of their oddball cars. Of the four I featured, this one is my favorite.

You say that like that's a problem

I got this idea from a nifty little accessory I saw on a couple '50s cars: it was a little prism or jeweled piece of clear plastic/glass that sat at the base of the windshield/dashboard, designed to capture and glow with the colour of the traffic light blocked by the low windshield.

I'm not sure if it's right, but that sound like a plausible explanation. The drivers seat seems to be pretty far back from the windscreen.

I was thinking lunch trays too!

let me know if you need anything translated.

Sorry Rob - I have to guess: Can you see traffic lights from the driver's seat? I wonder if those are to help you see the colour of them without ducking your head ?

Something about those interior trays remind me of a lunch tray you'd see in a hospital cafeteria. Looking forward to more videos of cars from the Lane Motor Museum, that place is a treasure and I need to find an excuse to go back.

Too bad I'd have to sit on top of the engine

Despite not understanding absolutely anything in that, I loved perusing that manual. Thanks for the link!

I love the looks. It just needs a battery and motor upgrade (and for it not to be built by the French).

Great video, being french I looked for the purpose of those dashboard mirrors, no help in the user manual. Link here: http://vehiculeselectriques.free.fr/Download/mia/mia%20manuel_utilisation_livre_16_05_2013_0.pdf

You have to convert the bus to a central steering position. :P
