Usain Bolt unveiled a small electric car with a swappable battery at a Paris tech fair, as the former Olympic sprinter makes his first steps as an entrepreneur and investor.

The Jamaican, who still holds the world record in the 100 meters, is the co-founder of Bolt Mobility, which this week started deploying shared electric scooters in the French capital. It has now introduced the “B-Nano,” a tiny electric car that customers can order for delivery starting next year.
