The adorable Microlino electric bubble car is no longer a concept! Microlino Mobility Systems began production in July 2024, following a successful testing phase. This news comes hot on the heels of another exciting development: the unveiling of the Microlino Lite at the Geneva International Motor Show in February 2024.
Microlino Hits the Road: Deliveries Underway
After years of anticipation, the Microlino is finally a reality. Production commenced in July 2024, and deliveries are underway. This charming electric vehicle is sure to turn heads on city streets with its retro-inspired design.
Microlino Lite: A Smaller, More Accessible Option
Microlino Mobility Systems broadened its reach with the introduction of the Microlino Lite at the Geneva Motor Show. This smaller version caters to users who don’t require a full driver’s license. The Lite boasts a lower top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) and qualifies as an L6e vehicle in some regions, allowing operation with a moped license.
Standard Microlino Offers Extended Range
The original Microlino remains available, offering a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph) and a driving range of approximately 230 km (143 miles) on a single charge. This makes it a practical choice for short commutes and errands. Both versions offer a variety of customization options, allowing owners to personalize their ride.
A Sustainable Future on Three Wheels
The Microlino’s arrival represents a significant step towards a more sustainable transportation landscape. Its compact size and electric powertrain make it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. With both standard and Lite options available, the Microlino caters to a wider range of drivers, potentially reducing overall car dependence in urban areas.
Looking Ahead: A Microlino for Everyone?
Microlino Mobility Systems’ commitment to innovation bodes well for the future. The success of the standard Microlino and the introduction of the Lite version demonstrate the company’s ability to adapt to market needs. Whether future iterations will offer even more range or functionality remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Microlino has carved out a unique space in the electric vehicle market.
