In these green-thinking urban surroundings, it should come as no surprise to stumble upon a car like the CityEl. This three-wheeled, single-seat and electric-powered oddity began life in Denmark. Produced from 1989 to 1995, it was initially labeled the MiniEl.

The car I came across happens to be from this original run of cars. Production has since moved to Kitzingen, Germany, where the outwardly identical CityEl is manufactured at a rate of 150-200 per year. In total, over 5,500 MiniEl and CityEl trikes have been sold since 1989.

That is cool looking, one headlight in the middle and back tires that look like they are from a bicycle.
I ran a search with the word CityEl and got an article from the NYTimes in english and photo of a man inside the car. I tried to copy and paste it here, but it didn't work.

Three wheeler with one wheel in front?
PLEASE DO NOT BRAKE WHILE TURNING!!

Here's another three wheeler folks with time in the UK may remember; no longer in production



Reliant Robin

The Morgan "Trike."



The rationale for all of them was/is a tax dodge. They are taxed as motorbikes vice motorcars.

(BTW, the "M"s on the rockerbox covers stand for Matchless, not Morgan.)
