The Microlino is a four-wheeled, battery electric bubble car manufactured by the company Micro since its introduction in 2022. The microcar is available in two versions as either a light or a heavy quadricycle, with the latter having a top speed of 90 km/h.[6][7][8][9]
The Microlino holds the leading position in Switzerland as the most registered vehicle in the L7e category.
The Microlino is equipped with a trunk, a sunroof, a front-opening door, and externally mounted headlights. It can be charged with either a household or a Type 2 connector with no fast charging capability.[10] As a microcar, it contains aspects of a car and motorcycle, and has 50% fewer parts than a typical automobile and its environmental footprint is up to 60% lower than that of a conventional electric vehicle.[11][12][13]
In 2024, Microlino introduced a fixed-profile convertible variant, the Spiaggina, recalling the European and American open beach cars of the 1960s — e.g., the Fiat 500 Jolly, Citroën Méhari, Renault Rodeo, Meyers Manx, VW Thing and BMC Mini Moke.
