What vehicles can be driven on a B1 licence?
My wife only has a full motorcycle licence and her new photocard licence says she can drive 'B1' vehicles - four wheels and up to 400Kg, or 450Kg if a cargo vehicle. The old Renault Twizy would seem to fit this category, but it's overweight. I read somewhere that the battery weight can be removed from the vehicle weight. Is this true? What vehicles (new or second hand) can be driven on a B1 licenCe?

It is possible that weight could be removed from a Renault Twizy to bring it under the 400kg limit, but the V5/C document would not reflect this change and so from a legal perspective it would not be with in accordance with the licence restrictions.
There are very few vehicles that fit into this category other than quadbikes or older versions of the Axiam quadricycle.
