Was in Zurich a couple weeks ago, and saw one of these beauties parked in the city center. What really struck me is the construction quality and the paint -- reminded me of my old 1972 fiat 500 Abarth, you can't fail to see it :)
NMC batteries are far from an optimal choice. Small battery = many charges = premature wear. Too bad to deprive yourself of the endurance of LFP batteries. In addition, their more affordable cost would have allowed them to stay below the advertised €20,000 mark.
It's not available in the U.S. only in some countries in Europe at the moment. The cheapest version of the car (the Urban) costs 14.990€ but with the other variants and modifications It can go up to 22k €. Range depends on the battery option, at best It can do 230 km at worst around 90 km
I don't have the need to overcompensate for, well we know where this is going. However, this model doesn't seem to "fly" with me. Pun intended. I simply don't trust autos that would be classified as "city cars". Structural integrity is a must on something that small. If you do go that route, I would suggest the Smurfette color, put a white limp hat on the top, and put aftermarket gold rims on it, with a generic gold flag posted up top. Now we're starting to rock! On all 6's! On all 8's! On all 12's! On all battery upgrades with a secondary motor? That last one would actually be dangerous in a light weight vehicle, unless you install a roll bar, or at least a front strut and rear sway. Ignore the "On all battery upgrades with a secondary motor?" K? Yes. I actually quoted myself up there^. It's the first time it's happened. Please be gentle. Be kind to your pets, and make sure they are spayed or neutered! (Unless, of course, you're breeding them in a good environment and have qualifications.) That last one being typey-typed, I really am wondering why I wasn't neutered to begin with. Do we really want another one of these things running about? Cheers, all! 🌠
These cars are not available in the U.S. I believe the official reason is "safety." If that's true, it's BS! With all the "SUV's" and pick-up trucks in America, no "car" is really safe. How well do you think you'd do if you got into an accident while you were driving a Fiat 500 (road legal in the USA) and you were hit by a Ford F150. It would not be pretty for the Fiat...and you. I think the real reason these are not allowed in the USA is, the big automakers, American, Japanese. Korean and German, cannot allow some little start-up to offer an electric for well under half of what they are charging for their current models. In many cases, the electric cars coming out now are 3 or 4 times more than the Microlino. Range is not really an issue in urban driving which is where this car would be most popular. When I lived in a big city, in the suburbs, I rarely drove more than 100 miles per day, usually much less. Free enterprise ain't free (or even cheap)!
I've been looking for the Nimbus, but this looks like it has some personality too!
Finally, a car I can wear!
lol
I'm going to Italy just to drive this car
I could legit see myself getting one of these things. And I have just the broom closet in mind to store it in.
what doas it cost
Just like with the Tazzari Zero it looks super-col. I don't suppose I'll ever see one in real life.

Is it available in US and start with the price where it’s available and what it cost. And how far does it go? All we need to know up front.

Looks like ED-209's head.
10k imo is a better price if ever possible
Does it has airbags? ABS? It is safe?
It’s a city car
Why doesn’t it come with the original Isetta colour-scheme? Is it patented?
yea, love this idea. love it to pieces. Someone better do it!

Sadly, it appears Microlino is out of business.
What do you mean?
If you can’t get in the US why waist our time
The US is not elbow every hip.
