Is it a car, is it a motorcycle? Nowadays you see more and more hybrid designs, with 3 and 4 wheels. Like the Piaggio MP3, the Carver, the T-rex, the Aptera and many others (see a list of 3 wheelers over here).

You have to hand it to the French to come up with yet another variation. 
A 4 wheeled, 1 person (electric) vehicle which tilts in corners. 
Nice design, very small which is great for commuting in cities. It will keep you safe and dry which is another advantage.
Range up to 150 km with a 10 KWh battery, speed up to 130 kph. Not bad.
Only the price: 24,500 euros is way too much. The lower fuel bill (approx 1200 euro per year) will not compensate for the higher investment. Too bad.
