The iconic mini car BMW Isetta started a whole branch of portable transportation. Of course, the “Bavarian Motors” try to forget their creation. But other companies, even in 2022, decided to reinvent mini-transport. Only the power source for the cars will be not energy from a gasoline engine, but electricity from batteries.

The miniature vehicle Microlino is assembled in Turin (Italy). The electric car is designed for the budget segment of car enthusiasts. The Microlino runs on batteries and can travel 230 kilometers on a single charge. The maximum speed is 90 km/h. The price of the new model is 12,500 Euros.
Despite its compact size, the microcar is quite stable on the road. In general, it has good dynamic indicators. The Microlino car is easy to park in urban areas, spacious, and simple to operate. It even has a safety cushion (on the steering wheel for the driver). The vehicle dimensions are:

The miniature car is a three-door version accommodating 4 people. In size, it is identical to a Smart, but looks more impressive. Overall, the appearance of the Chery QQ Ice Cream is mesmerizing. The electric car looks cool from the outside, like a sports car. By the way, it can also show results on the highway. The maximum speed is 100 km/h. Range – 120-170 km. Dimensions:
- Length – 2980 mm.
- Width – 1496 mm.
- Height – 1637 mm.
The price of the Chery QQ Ice Cream ranges from 5900 to 7400 US dollars. The cost depends on the configuration and the power of the electric motor. This model of electric vehicle resembles a construction set, where the buyer can come to a dealership and assemble a miniature vehicle themselves (or as a gift).
Netherlands electric car Squad can be driven without a license
The budget electric vehicle more resembles a carriage from royal times. Low wheelbase, high transparent cabin. The little Squad does not look like any other vehicle. The most pleasant thing is that it does not require a driver’s license to operate, at least within the European Union.
The basis was a quad bike, to which a cabin was added and the control system was reconfigured. This is evidenced by its high stability on the road and ease of handling. The price of the Squad electric car is 6250 Euros. The maximum speed is 80 km/h. Range – 100 km. If you order the “solar panel instead of the roof” option, the range can be increased by 20-30 km.
