The only electric car I would buy?
Electric cars are sometimes dull and boring. But is this cute little thing the only one I would actually buy?
What is it and how much does it cost?
Great Question! The Swiss mobility company Micro has unveiled the second iteration of its two-seater microcar, the Microlino. The car features a retro bubble car-style, a throwback to BMW's iconic Isetta from the 50s, except this time it's all-electric! Yes it is. Shock-Horror! The Microlino was originally introduced back in 2016 and went into production in late 2018. The cute little guy will start at about €12,000 or about $14,550 USD.
Is it safe?
People commonly refrain from small automobiles is that they are afraid of if some idiot bang into them with some F-150 or some large thing. There's some truth to that (though it's complicated), so the biggest improvement in the Microlino 2.0 is its new steel and aluminum frame that's said to give it the structural integrity of a full-size automobile. Micro says the new body structure "has already shown big improvements in safety" without adding weight. Honestly speaking, I’m still not sure if I want to be wedge between a SUV and a bus though
Design and Interior
Like the Isetta, the doors open to from the front. A neat interior. Minimalistic.
Boot Space. It’s not all that bad…
That looks…tiny…
Well, based on the looks. It seems like you can fi a picnic and some bottles of wine and beer. Golf Clubs? Well you are better of getting a Mini Clubman.
Speeeeeeed and POWEEEER!!!!!!
Max speed is a astonishing 90km/h (It is slightly better than the Twizy) with a 0-50mph of 5 seconds. At least according to this video, it is faster than a Ferrari. Hmmmm…🤔
Whats the range?
The Microlino has a range of 125 to 200km. Not terrible for something small
Is it as heavy as an American ( Sorry )
Thankfully, no. At 513kg, it will be pretty nippy through small narrow European streets.
Nice fabric roof!
Neat! Look at the roof. Just like a Fiat 500!
Is it something like a quadricycle?
Yes! And you can drive it when you are 16. Depending on your country.
Will I buy it?
If I had children and some extra cash, yes! It is fun and cute at the same time!
