At first glance, the Microlino is nothing short of remarkable. It’s not just another electric car, but a city runabout that is space-saving and effortlessly cool. Despite being a new company, Micro Mobility has succeeded in creating a desirable vehicle, something that even established companies have tried and failed to do.

Microlino’s unique design is inspired by the legendary BMW Isetta bubble car of the 1950s and 1960s. It’s a modern reinterpretation of that classic design, complete with a single refrigerator door in the front and headlights mounted on pods affixed to the sides of the body. These same pods house the side rear-view mirrors, showcasing a thoughtful design that is both stylish and practical.

The Microlino is the perfect crossover between a scooter and a car, designed as a solution for urban mobility. Equipped with a 14 kWh Lithium-Ion electric motor that produces 12,5 kW of power and 89 N.m of torque, this electric scooter car can reach a top speed of 90 km/h and can accelerate from 0-50 km/h in just 5 seconds. Its powerful lithium battery provides an impressive driving range of 230 km on a single charge, and it can be charged in just 1 hour using a Type 1 charger, using a regular wall outlet is also an option but that will take a bit longer.

According to Micro Mobility, the Microlino can carry two adults and up to 3 beer crates, making it the perfect vehicle for city errands or a weekend getaway. With its eye-catching looks, peppy acceleration, and more than enough range for a vehicle of its size, the Microlino is not just a car, but a lifestyle.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
