BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE ESTRIMA BIRO!!!

EV Channels Review

The Estrima Biro is presented as a quirky, purpose-built urban mobility solution, ideal for car sharing, deliveries, and short-distance commuting. The reviewer highlights its incredibly small footprint, making it perfect for navigating congested city streets like London, where it easily bypasses traffic and congestion charges. The build quality is surprisingly good, featuring laminated glass for excellent visibility and a tubular steel frame. Inside, it's basic but functional, with two pedals and a single stalk. A key feature is the optional removable battery pack, allowing for convenient home or office charging in under 30 seconds. While range is limited (around 100km for the larger battery), and charging is slow, the Biro excels in its intended environment. The reviewer notes its suspension is better than the Renault Twizy, and acceleration is surprisingly good for its size. It comfortably seats two, though it's cozy for taller individuals. The main drawbacks are the lack of a heater (though a winter pack is mentioned) and its limited top speed of 45 km/h. The reviewer concludes that while not a long-range commuter, the Biro makes absolute sense for city use, offering extremely low running costs.
