I had the 58 kW and now I have the 77 kW, fantastic cars, lovely to drive, excellent range, on average 18 kWh per 100 km, without ever driving to save energy (on the motorway I keep around 130 km/h), great stability on rough surfaces or in snow. I suffer a lot from back pain and I feel very comfortable in the Born.
