The Tiny Electric Car Made By A Scooter Company! 

Wished these can come over to the States. The antithesis to the gigantic pickup trucks we have here

The camera grumpy cat guy was the cherry on top.

Top speed 59 mph , top of the range 14.5 kWh battery about 140 miles , price starts about £15000 .00 according to latest reports 😊👍

I mean if you have to have a car in a city, this is the car you should have :D It is absolutely cute! Those monsters that won't even fit the parking spaces look so ridiculous next to it!

‘Super narrow little gates’. That’s the very one I got an e-Tron wedged in when I hired to try out the EV experience before buying. What a fantastic little bubble. Love it - want one! ❤❤❤

The styling is utterly unique... to the BMW Isetta, which first appeared in 1955. Setting aside the obvious fun and practicality of this new EV (which it absolutely has), to say that it's "a design inspired by the iconic BMW Isetta", is more than a bit of understatement. In reality, this, albeit brilliant EV, is an updated EV copy of what BMW produced 68 years ago.

i sat in one at fully charged it was great, wish i could have drove it. there was more attention around this than the other cars near it. also this proves the concept light weight and only needs a small battery.

Driving an electric motorbike lately. It is truly fun. It feels faster, but it isn't - i checked the speedometer and the smiley face sign that tells you your speed agreed with the speedometer. I was shocked. And this Microcar I bet will be the same, it will feel faster. Good job!

I have driven a Piaggio Ape 50 for a few years. It’s slow, small, but got a lot of cargo space. And you couldn’t park anywhere without answering questions about it. And I think it’s the exact same thing here. It’s so different in dimensions compared to a „normal“ car - it’s just brilliant.

This is one of those cars that I see really often on this channel that I wouldn't like to own as my daily driver (although I don't actually drive daily) but I'd love to be able to rent one at a train station in a new city.

For me, the best report on RU-vid, which speaks from my heart. There is no better way to describe the 'feeling' of a Microlino owner. I love the Fully Charged Show BTW: 28.09.2023 will be my first year owning this great vehicle ❤❤❤

Having driven one of the original Isetta’s my dad had 3 in the sixties I can confirm the fun factor. So glad it’s coming to the UK, where is the number plate🤔

20k for this is just too much.

This is what most EV manufacturers dont get, not everyone wants an overpriced generic looking EV.

Jack has to be one of the best presenters on the planet, will probably watch anything he speaks about

I remember getting that sort of reaction driving the 1st generation of Smart cars. .....Made the driver grin like a Cheshire cat too. 59mph & 140 mile range is enough to be useful. I could be tempted.

I love the design of the microlino. It has so much style and is so sensibly sized. A good top speed too. I hope it inspires many more manufacturers. My design preference would be for these mini EVs is to have one seat at the front making it duel left/right hand drive and to have a passenger seat or boot space behind but a square shaped wheelbase does look really fun to drive. I hope Fully Charge continues to bring attention to these mini EVs/Quadcycles. The Silence S04 looks interesting with its removable batteries.

I hope this comes to Canada. It would be the perfect second car for us.

not sure what’s cooler - this car, Jack or cameraman Andy’s happy face.

As a Smart Fortwo owner, I love it! Small cars in cities, FTW!

What a great little car! I have images in my head though of a group of yobs walking past it at night and rolling it over onto it's roof!

Looks great 👍🏽 Hope they sell loads. This was a nice snapshot - a longer review please 🙏🏽

A little van version of that would be so epic

this is a smile mobile, really incredible design. wish they had these in the US

I saw one in real life in the town of Nerja, andalucia Spain. It was awesome and a perfect car for that small mountain town with narrow streets.

I *love* it! I am really hoping that they eventually sell these in the US!

Ah - what you said about this vs supercars reminded me of my holiday trip to London earlier this year. Me and my brother happened to stumble on to a McLaren Senna - yeah, cool and all that - HOWEVER - just around the corner there was a Citroën Ami micro car... and that was so much more fun and cool to see. Hands down "Car of the Day". Also noticed that you passed by a Zoe very much like mine, but compared to the Microlino it looked enormous... good indication of how small the Microlino really is - I hope it finds it's way here to Sweden too, eventually! Lovely little thing!

Looks amazing, and happy to see Jack fits!

⚡ *Nice to see Jack back with a tiny, quirky car!* 🤙🏼 It looks like an airbag, I love it 😂 Just more practical to have "micro" cars for most daily journeys.

I've already seen about 10 of them in Switzerland.

I wanted one as soon as I saw it at a Formula E race in Berlin back in 2019 - and I still want one now! 😁

I put my name down for one of these years ago. They are just soooo cool. However, they are now priced way, way, way more than initially promised and for something quite so basic. It's now a rich person's toy. A third car after the Porsche and Range Rover. For me, these microcars should be about democratising transport, but the manufacturers have gone in a different direction. Still, good luck to them.

Some specs would be useful!

Take the PM for a spin Jack...I'm certain he'd love it...at 20:30, 20:35, in fact anytime of the day or night!

Very nice; even the wheels. Looked to see if they’ve regen braking and it seems they have.

Absolutely perfect for literally ANY CITY

I had one of the first smart cars where I live and it ALWAYS made people smile. Drove to Banff once and we were surround by nothing by smiling people. I doubt it will come to Canada anytime soon but I did put may name on the waitlist just in case. Great neighbourhood vehicle. Not so great in a Canadian winter but still worth it of it ever arrives on our shores.

One advantage of having a road-legal left-hand drive car in the UK is that with some modifications, it could make for a great supplemental vehicle for urban postal workers, so that they no longer have to walk through narrow-streeted disctricts

Down the road a 2+2 seater like the Isetta 600 would be nice to see, to fill in the vacuum left behind by many discontinued A segment city cars. I see Microlino being very popular in China, should they ever cross that bridge and majufacture microlinos in a partnership

Love it. Still want one. Would never get the chance to use it as I need a family wagon/long distance work wagon… BUT I STILL WANT ONE. So fun.

I want one just for the "GRIN" factor alone. What more do you need.

My Honda E is the same, it makes me smile everytime I drive it. I always get asked about it. Lovely place to be (even though the range is shocking)

Love this one to bits, have been watching it for several years as it went through development, but will it get to Australia? No one is holding breath.

It's kind of like the old 2cv I had - took it everywhere - it was fun - recon I did twice my usual annual mileage because getting behind the wheel was an adventure that brought a smile to your face - now I have a very safe big Volvo that sits on the drive a lot.

I can’t wait to see the next video from “Me and mon Ami” RU-vid channel drop on Sunday! Love these tiny EV’S!!

Love your enthusiasm. This makes sense for some people with a specific use case. It is no use for many journeys so can only be a second car for many households. Fiat 500 is a better multipurpose tool, but even that can't do what a Niro can, or a Dacia Spring even.

I totally share your enthusiasm ! Great review, thanks! I like to add one interesting point: depending your local legislation, micro car can be parked on motorcycle spot, which is space and cost saving ! 😉

I'd like to see a comparison of this with the Silence S04 nanocar which should also be available in the UK before the end of the year.

Love these ❤

My vicarious love affair with the Microlico started with your first vid on it! I hope it will be my next car. Best wishes from me and Lu [the Patterdale Terrier]. George PS: Don't care if it is left or right hand drive. I have not overtaken anyone for more than twenty years. Love your vids!

If I lived in Paris, London, or Berlin, I'd have one of these in a heartbeat. This looks so practical and perfectly fit to city life. Being in the US, there's no way I'd want to drive this in any city with all the hulking SUVs and massive over-compensation trucks.

I have a 1970 FIAT 500, love it; 53 years old this month. That's the car, not me. I'm 66. This though, might be 'the future'. I wonder if it will ever be introduced here in Ireland? I hope so.

Great fun - great video 😊😘

Jack, we need to see two adults sitting side by side. Come on Jack.

Fantastic!! ❤

You also drove past Ricky Gervais's gaff in this video. Welcome to Hampstead.

An electric Messerschmidt would be cool complete with side lift canopy

Matching the clothes with the care again, love it! This should also be very popular in Italy,

Love the new look and is reminiscent of the 1950s 60s old bubble cars like the BMW isetta, Heineken kabine and others. Wish the steering wheel lifted with the door, for easier access, like in the earlier ones but health & safety properly wouldn't let them. Is that one the range topper, with the folding roof or do they all come the same. And will there be options for different battery ranges? If they could get the price down a bit better below £10.000 that would be great, for what your getting, like the citroen Ami EV at around £7000 +

His car is so cool and nice. I would like to get one for myself but I’m not sure if it’s becoming too expensive for me. I’m interested !!! In Thailand I don’t have to see the same car 🚗

Hey Jack. Love your work 👍

Very cool!

Seeing a lot of these in the lot nearby besides all other BMW,BW, Audi and Porsche cars. A nice design and could be appealing for some. Lovely car. Not for me, living in a rural environment with a family of four.

I have seen a Citroen Ami in Hull on the road so yeah , I want to see more of these cool cars !

Sadly, I don't think it stands a chance of coming to the US. If it did, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

I’ve put 98k miles on a 2014 here in New York City. It’s all about the ease of parking.

Surprisingly Rapid. Love it. The new term for accelerates like a rocket.

Ok. I might be strange but I would love a soft top version

Love it, and of course Brighton my. Home Town. Is where bubble cars were built under licence

It sure is stylish. I wonder if a side-by-side two wheel version could work, since it doesn't have side doors. There would still be low friction nylon rollers at the corners to limit tipping during hard braking/acceleration. The point is, there's no need for a steering mechanism. Just two fixed wheels driven by two motors.

I cannot stop thinking that these things look like toads/frogs with their wide-front-narrow-butt stance, and the headlights are absolutely frog eyeballs. I would love to have one of these, and I would be the best Microlino ambassador for the adoring public.

As much as I love this thing the best city car is the kind that runs on rails, coupled together, underground. I do find that the lack of focus on the greenest form of motorised transport, trains, to be a bit of a blind spot of an otherwise excellent channel.

great for old European cities, like Paris & London. I am looking forward to the day when Paris has no more noisy smelly diesels and especially mopeds. One person roaring through Paris at 4am can be responsible for thousands going to work tired because they were woken up.

There are many times when a car like this would come in handy for a great many people. Easy to drive, maneuver and park. Cheap to run, and enough range, speed and space for a fair bit of shopping! I would like one for the 'around town' bits that we all have to do, and saves the bigger car for the long range and/or large load journeys. The only problem with this is the price... 😢

Thanks Jack, if I could I would give the video two thumbs up.👍👍

Looks like a fun little car...but that £15k price is ouch.

Nice one,

These are great but the lack of airbags and a crush zone would mean they would have to be sold as scooters and motorcycles in North America and indeed I came across a scooter eebsite that said they could refer you to importers to bring it in as a scooter to Canada. Howevee, there is one difference between these scooter cars and the original Isetta, with the Isetts, the steering whell was hinged, actually two hinges hence double jointed, so it could tilt out with the door allowing you to sit directly behind the steering wheel whereas with the Micro-Lino, the steering wheel pedestal is fixed so you have to sit in the passenger position and slide over. It seems that the double jointed approach of the Isetta would still work well for a mechanical steering wheel and with today's electronics, the steering wheel could easily have been drive by wire and just mounted on the doo itself rather than have a pedestal at all. I can see that regulators might not like a drive per wire setup but surely they could've done the Isetta's double jointed approach and that approach has been proven, besides, it's not like they could be imported as cars to North America... Unfortunately, I don't see this being priced low, although that scooter website that says they could refer you to an importer for Canada has some affordable prices listed bur they do say you'll get the actual price from the importer selected, the Micro-Lino prices stated in the Switzerland website suggests this will be pricier. I hope it gains enough popularity to stay in business but I think that's still very much a wait and see proposition. If good small micro-cars were enough then we would still have the Smart car so just being a fun little car might not be enough for this scooter car's survival.

I’d love one but I know there is someone somewhere in the Australian government trying to ban them while allowing more huge pickup trucks in

Yes, it's true. Cars of that size are the perfect city vehicles. I can confirm that after driving a Smart fortwo for nearly 19 years. But similar to the Smart, the smile on your face fades when you look at the price list.

60mph max speed is great , decent range to. Price little high for me althou it's coolest electric car I've seen. I love my leaf 20 it makes me so happy driving it, wonder if I would be in ecstacy in a microlino

An absolutely adorable car!!!

This makes me happy

I really like this idea. I drive a Smart Car. I would like to see two people sitting in the Microlina🧐🤓

I had a garage but it was useless ..if I put my car inside I couldn't get out of the car....that car would have been perfect.

I've been driving CNG, EV and Hybrid cars for the last 20+ years. I currently drive a Hyundai Ioniq, after having my Nissan Leaf totaled (not my fault 😅). I live in the SF Bay Area and something like this would be absolutely PERFECT for city errands. Closest thing around here are golf carts which I find way too expensive for what they are. Or decommissioned meter maid cars that get vandalized ALL THE TIME. The US needs to catch up.

I was (naively) hoping for GMD's T.27 to show up, but I guess I'll just gonna have to buy a Microlino!

The most perfect rental city car, if you want something more than a scooter. Perfect!

Looks like fun.

For 20.000,- Euro?! That is a bit steep isnt it??

I was one of the very frst people to place a pre-order for one of these way back when. Still waiting for them to be imported to the UK. Last I heard the date has been pushed back to 2025! [Grumpy cat face]

Totally agree.

amazing news! I been waiting these hit UK. this great EV for myself

Electric version of the Isetta car that was made by BMW. 56 years ago and I owned one back then.

The original BMW Issetta that was built under licence in the UK was right hand drive. This car would be ideal if it was £10k cheaper !

Question is, how do you get out in tight parking spaces or if someone boxes you in while you're out. Would have absolutely loved this "Iseta 2.0" with scissor style doors instead. But I love it regardless :D

This is a car that I think I would enjoy driving. Unfortunately the lack of range means that I could never own one unless an upgraded version appears since I cover in the region of 80 miles per day in my car.

I would love to have one of those in the states lol

Love the have one in Australia for the city and suburbs and keep my people mover for long trips in the outback

I hope they do some funky colours.
