Right, I think I've got it. I'm going to tow a G Wizz backwards on a dolly hitch (i.e a two wheeled trailer) with the back two wheels raised in the dolly. If we are stopped by the law we can always claim we are recovering the EV with a nonchalent shrug of the shoulders 'Electric cars hey officer, wh...

After speaking to a helpful guy who sells the Elettrica he said that it can be towed with all 4 wheels on the road by an A-Frame at speads upto 45mph. Any higher and you risk damage to the motor.

I can tow a G Wiz but only at speeds not exceeding 20mph so this isn't an option.
Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome.
Cheers
