Microlino turned the front-door bubble-car idea into a tiny electric quadricycle built for today's crowded streets.

Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
The Swiss Ouboter family reworked the original Microlino idea into the 2.0 with a pressed steel-and-aluminium unibody. Series production began in Turin in 2022 with the limited Pioneer Series; the simpler Urban became the entry version later. This profile fixes the identity to the 2024 European Urban with the smallest battery, not to the launch-only Pioneer cars.
Look a little closer.
Its whole front panel opens as the door, so the driver and passenger can step out toward the pavement after nose-in parking.

Not legally a passenger car
Microlino is an L7e heavy quadricycle. That category keeps mass and performance below normal passenger-car levels, even though the 90 km/h top speed is far above the 45 km/h Microlino Lite. Calling it a microcar is convenient, but its legal class explains the unusually small battery and body.

The team replaced the earlier tubular frame with an integral body using pressed steel and aluminium parts. Prototype testing, homologation and pre-series work followed before production began in Turin. That history matters because the 2.0 is more than a trim update of the original prototype.
