Microlino review - The Isetta-inspired electric microcar that's flawed but fun 

This really could be the PERFECT little electric runabout for European cities. If it could be manufactured at a realistic price 👍

MERICA here! Damn! Got rear-ended by a Jeep! Slammed the breaks but got pushed right into the F-150! (assuming legs are still intact...) I've got a Jeep up my rear and my door is wedged under the Ford truck's bumper! This thing has one door! How do I get out? (soft top sunroof! ahh! make sure the vehicle comes with that!) Its really cute. Looks like lots of fun. Just maybe have your affairs in order if any of these make it to that MERICA! I caught that its designed for Euro roads.

I wish they'd bring it to this side of the pond. I'd love one for running local errands.

As a first car for young inexperienced driver, this vehicle would be a blast and a valuable learning experience before getting behind the wheel of a far more capable car. Basically, what my 1971 Volkswagen super beetle was for me.

I couldn’t deal with that sound. Sounds like a fire truck is always behind you.

If you live in a city, why not? 🙂

My parents (still with us) owned an Isetta in the early 1960's. It had a 1 cylinder engine and could go about 45 mph . Nice little car, but it did not match up with their risk profile once us kids came along. :)

It would be cool if it came in kit form to be sent worldwide and assembled by diyers. And also if it utilized the basic design but with several additional practical options like a mini cargo truck or van.

Great video! Subscribed

This is more like the Heinkel. The Isetta had the steering column attached to the door, so that it moved out of your way when it opened.

Perfect little run around. I think they will sell a lot of these in the UK. I'd say they would be popular with older folks but despite having a big front door it looks awkward to get in and out of for people who are not as supple anymore?

I'm going to buy one of these. But I have no way to A/C charge (live in a condo in the States) and I don't think that I could stand that whining noise. Hey, it's not all bad . . . I just saved eighteen grand 😅.

Someone made a new Urklemobile!

i cant waaait for it to come to Norway

Ooooh! I want one. Too preciously gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WANT! 😍

I think I saw this on The Fully Charged Show last year or year before. Nice to see that it is in production.

I like it 😊 good in southern Europe but probably not so useful in Northern Europe doubt it very good it wintery /windy conditions. I drive a smart which is good all year round on urban and country roads

The little Tykes car has grown up.

To be honest , there's a massive increase of SUV on European roads and manufacturers abandon small cars but the problem is that the larger the car the less space on the roads and car parking spaces are not and won't get any larger and so many cars on the road have only the driver. This Microlino is a perfect for those scared of motorbikes and scooters, a real fine example of what 1 person transport should be not these big heavy SUV or worse again, electric SUV are extremely heavy and have no place on most of Europe's roads ! Here in Ireland a car is seen as a sign of wealth and so many people get big loans as they are ashamed to let the neighbour see them in an old car and Mothers don't want to drop their kids to school in small cars, especially older cars. You see a great trick the Irish Government pulled in the 1990's was to introduce a registration plate with the year which meant people could now know how old your car was, but a couple of years ago they went even further, now there are 2 registrations in the year, one in January and one in July so they introduced this to boost sales in the middle of the year when it's quiet because everyone previously were waiting until January to have the very latest registration plate lol.

This won't sell in America cuz of the front shape being kinda rounded and easily destroyed in a crash

I've just seen one for the first time, on the road here in South East London (May 2024) and it didn't look out of place either, (I just clocked "Microlino" across its front and Googled it as soon as I got home), I live in London and own a Mini Cooper Electric, so fully appreciate the advantages of small so called "city ??? EVs", obviously, this vehicle is aimed at a "niche potential customer base", that would be, affluent, city home owners, with ONE child who have a garage or driveway, that gave up their MAHOOSIVE ICE 4 x4, for an electric one, just to be "Eco trendy????, that find it embarrassing to have, a small ICE car as a second vehicle, as ALL of their "Eco trendy??" neighboughs have got Teslas and NO second car, so they won't mind paying £15,000 for a Microlino, to use as a second car, as sticking THAT and a £85,000 4 x4 EV on their driveway, is basically an "UP YOURS GESTURE", to their neighboughs, who only have ONE vehicle on their driveway, that is a "cheap and nasty ????, Tesla", so "the Microlino will probably sell like hot cakes, in trendy affluent parts of London and other European cities too" LOL.

This looks like it would be a popular choice for an evil geniuses secret volcano lair.

The originals tended to fall over on roundabouts 😮

Bad research: The BMW Isetta was not an original creation by BMW, but a licensed reproduction of the model originally designed and produced by the Italian company Iso. The original Isetta model with its characteristic front-opening design was created in 1953 by Iso, a company that manufactured motorcycles and small cars based in Milan, Italy

Yes i would like everyone to drive this. Except me.

You can get a fully loaded Nissan Versa, for that price.

i'd love this but its overpriced and already seems outdated from when it was first announced quite a few years ago. Furthermore when i tried contacting the company about buying one they didnt bother to reply

PUT A PETROL ENGINE IN IT, THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING, EV SHIT

They should of waited for WW3 to be over before trying to flog this junk 😂😂😂
