    The vehicle seems to be a version of a scooter with cover and 4 wheels, but its cost is same as that of Honda City Car. Will any body purchase it? Ofcourse it can be kept in museum.

    Can Indians who are not able to afford Rs.5.00 lac for a house buy twizy at Rs.8.00 lacs. The vehicle is good for Rs.1.00 lac.
