Background and Identification
The Microlino is a compact electric vehicle created by Swiss company Micro Mobility Systems, merging retro design with modern electric mobility. Inspired by 1950s bubble cars, especially the BMW Isetta, it was first introduced as a concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Since then, it has evolved into a production-ready vehicle focused on urban commuting.
Classified as a light quadricycle (L7e/L6e) in Europe, the Microlino offers a smaller, lighter alternative to traditional cars, providing more weather protection and cargo space than a scooter. This classification also allows younger drivers to operate the Microlino with a less strict license. In Germany, for instance, individuals aged 15 and older with an AM driver's license can drive the Microlino Lite.
The Microlino is manufactured in Turin, Italy, where its 3,000-square-meter assembly line is powered by solar panels. Over 80% of the vehicle's components are sourced from Europe, with most coming from Italy.
As of 2025, the Microlino is available in several trims and battery configurations, including the Urban, Dolce, and Competizione editions, offering ranges of 95, 175, and 230 kilometers, respectively. Its design and branding combine vintage appeal with modern practicality, reflecting its unique blend of charm and functionality.
