During the short period of entry the vehicle´s floor will be exposed to rainfall. A small segment of the seats will also be affected. This is not really uncommon. Many modern cars now have door openings cut out to expose some seat area for reasons of better accessibilty.

We have experimented with various solutions. We could have hinged the doors to the roof and have them swing to the back which would have left the seat area covered. This solution would have prevented the easy exchange of the roof module. Also, driving without the roof module would not be possible any more. At this point, driving pleasure took precedence for us. Normally, there is a pause in the downpour every so often - even on a rainy day.

Similar to sports cars, the Loremo is a very lowly built car. Entering low sports cars by side doors can be a  physically demanding task. Furthermore, the patented linear cell structure of the Loremo calls for another solution as the superior safety properties are actually provided by the edge that you need to cross. The wing doors are the ideal solution. In fact, they are even better than wing doors opening sideways.

The vehicle is entered by stepping over the side, rather like into a bath tub, but with a non-slippery surface to step on and plenty of firm structure for support in easy reach . Once inside the car, you can stand upright in front of the front seats, since neither roof nor steering wheel are in the way.

Sitting down, you hold onto the handle provided in the upper outside corner of the foot compartment (NOT the steering wheel). You sit down until you make contact with the seat and move backwards until you touch the back rest. Only then do you let go of the handle and lean back slightly bending your head sideways. The door is then pulled down by means of the steering wheel.

Getting out is also very easy. Get a hold of the handle and take a firm grip. Pull at it and straighten your knees at the same time, then step outside. Watch the video.
