Smart being towed by mobility scooter

Yes, this is a mobility scooter towing a Smart car.

The ultimate money saving transport solution.

And there was no driver in the car !!!

AIUI, a lot (perhaps all) of that type of Smart car are LHD so the driver may not have been obvious to you on first glance.
Ignoring whether this is safe or not, I'd certainly not want to be on that mobility scooter if there was no driver to activate the brakes.

Does this qualify as an EV conversion?

Those first-shape W450 ForTwos were initially LHD-only, and only available in the UK as personal imports. But that one's after the 2002 facelift, and they were sold here officially as RHD.

To be fair, if it's a flat enough road most people can push a car on their own, so a mobility scooter should be capable of doing it. Stopping it, less so

The You Tube video clearly shows the Smart car driver in the RH seat.

Personally quite surprised that scooter managed to get the car moving without the over-current cutout actuating.  It's also a very weird scooter / batterie arrangement... covering the floor tray completely, if one watches as it goes past the camera.

I suspect a 'fake' / setup / stunt.
