Peugeot, who on the occasion of the Mondial de l'Automobile are launching the first international design competition on the Internet, have decided to set the tone of this event in the field of creativity by introducing four 'toys' evoking the pleasure of motoring: the 'City Toyz', one of which is the 'e-doll'.

The 'e-doll' is approximately 2.5m long and its width of 1.54m allows it to carry three people in the front. The self-supporting carbon fibre body carries the batteries: it is covered by a one-piece 'canopy', forming the windscreen, the roof, and the rear window.

The side doors remain open and the driver, seated centrally, steers using veritable scooter handlebars, with a starter, twist-grip 'gas' and brake controls, and a twin-dial instrument panel. At the rear, the chassis incorporates a 'trolley, very practical for shopping.

At the front are two triangulated half-axles of a pseudo McPherson type. The rear axle has two transverse control arms and contains two electric motors straight from the Peugeot Electric Scooter. Each of these is incorporated into a control arm which, being streamlined, itself incorporates a belt-drive transmission.

This orange-yellow 1.29m high 'dodgem car' is both personable and slightly street-wise. Its 10' front wheels and twin rear wheels give it an unquestionably strong personality.
