When we saw the Microlino electric bubble car for the first time, last year at IAA 2021, company representatives on the stand wanted to make it clear that it is not a car, but something different aimed at urban commuting. Now as the mini EV nears production, the company has revealed a special Pioneer Series limited to 999 examples.
These Pioneer Series vehicles are for those very early backers who ordered their Microlino nearly six years ago, when the vehicle was shown in concept form at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. These limited series models will be finished in one of two special colors, Atlantis Blue and Torino Aluminium, they get a sunroof, vegan leather and suede interior, portable Bluetooth speakers and a unique numbered plaque inside.
The rest is standard Microlino, so it draws from a 10.5 kWh battery pack that bestows it with a range of up to 110 miles (177 km). Power comes from a 12.5 horsepower motor that will take this electric bubble car to a respectable top speed of 55 mph (90 km/h), more than enough for such a small urban-minded runabout.
