“Objectively, this is not a good car. But everyone should buy one!” Best review ever! 😂

You can tell Alyssa is behind the camera with zooms on cute dogs.😀

That video is typical out of spec. Alyssa has a squirrel moment where she sees a cute dog and Kyle has a squirrel moment where he sees a cool old Tesla model S with original wheels

A German ex-colleague of mine described the original Isetta as the pot-hole-finder due to the two different width axles. Clearly Microlino have never heard it described as such 😊 Hopefully the design (electronics and software) improves and matures quickly for the future models. I would personally love one as a commuter vehicle.

I love it too, but that price is ridiculous.

This car has the same issues as Smart. Great design, compact size, and is priced like a car that is twice as large and twice as capable

My dad briefly had an Isetta when he was in his 20's...I agree, everyone should have a totally impractical fun car

I bought one in Switzerland, the Microlino Competizione, and I love it! For Swiss standard is not so expensive and I managed to get it in the Headquarter in Küsnacht (just close to my hometown in the Zurich area). I own a Tesla Model S and both are my favorite cars! Driving in Zürich with the Tesla is a nightmare (too big, no parking), but with the Microlino is just easy. You are right, lot of noises and rumors, but I am sure they will fix it. So far, I am excited to test it in winter with snow, rain and cold. Nice video as always! Cheers from Thalwil (Zürich)

Love the design and the size. We need more human scale cars. I don't mind the price either once they fix the minor issues pointed out in this video. Can't get over the size. So perfect.

As a very young child (1969) I watched a guy park his Isetta close up to a wall. Unfortunately some of the U.K cars had no reverse gears and he was stuck, shouting out of the window until someone helped by pushing it away so he could get out. That image stuck with me all these years and this bought it back! Thanks!

I love bubble cars. Yes, they have some disadvantages, but they're hugely practical in busy urban areas.

That so cool!!! Love to see these cute EV's around the communities!

My parents actually owned a 1958 Isetta. I, my brother and sister learned to drive with it in our front yard.

microlino with Kyle in it looks absolutely hilarious and I love it!! they need to bring it to Australia please!

I'd buy that over an Arcimoto for sure! It needs to come to the US! Great video

So happy to see decent sponsors and not some cringy manscaping promo.

“USB A like it’s 1994.” He says, ignoring that the USB standard came out in 1996. 😂

Interesting little car and probably a good replacement for what the Smart EV once was. Thanks for the thorough test, hope they are successful!

Ha ha that warp speed (Sport mode) is funny 😂 The car looks like fun! It's either that or cycle. a Great city car.

Love it! Want one for around town.

It always makes me smile when the camera pans towards a dog passing by.

Thanks for the overview!! Been watching the Microlino's progress over the years, so nice to finally see it on the road. If they bring it to the states with a price < $20K, without any significant speed restrictions then I think they might have something. I think for sure I would want one over an Arcimoto or an NEV golf cart thing.

what????? €17,000 price of this vehicle???? because it is beautiful and advanced, but really very expensive... such a car should cost somewhere around €5000 and that would really be a realistic price for such a product😢

LOL, Alyssa with the dog zoom in🥰

I have followed this car for a while. I would absolutely 100% buy one the minute it lands in the US.

Best car reviews around. Honest and insightful.

Absolutely love this little car. what a great city car.

Cannot forgive you for not taking us for a walk inside Motorworld. Was there last year, it is a fantastic place.

haha that dog zoom that was fun Alyssa

These look like squishmalllows plush toys on wheels! Definitely top tier cuteness. Agree, the price is too high for mass consumption. ❤❤❤

I hope they do come to America, I would love one.

interesting review, I liked your honesty and enthusiasm ! There's a point I like to add regarding micro cars : depending your local legislation, it can be park on a motorcycle spot, which is space and cost saving ;-)

Highways: From Microlino website: Can I use the Microlino on the motorway? The Microlino is allowed to drive on highways in Switzerland and in Europe. In Italy and France, on the other hand, L7e vehicles are not allowed to drive on highways.

I word: "No". But a big "yes" for making the video and letting the public see what is available for EV transportation.

Exciting! I reserved one about a year ago for when they're available in the US!

I loved the pan to the collie. Alyssa is adding comedy gold. 😂

Love the mirrors/headlights!

It looks like a modern Steve Urkel car. 👍 It looks so much fun.

The softtop is a mandatory featuire as it functions as an escape hatch in case of an accident.

As much as I love quirks of this car I don't see this company surviving at this price, 23k eur is insane

I hope they keep improving / refining this.

Hi, let me tell you that BMW Isetta was sold in my country early 60s, and it was/is very popular until today. This Microlino clearly respected all those original details of body. Wonderful! It is like a dream come true, same shape, same door opening, but with all those modern technologies. I can see bicolor versions too, light green and white...very retro colors. Thank you very much for sharing this adventure. Cristian, Santiago Chile SouthAmerica. PD: I think name must be pronunced as _meecro leeno_ (if you are English soeaker), name probablely comes from _Topolino,_ an Italian way for calling Fiat 500 due the measures and grill and headlights. Topolino means Micky Mouse (🤔 if I am not wrong).

In Germany a car has to have a speed of at least 60 km/h to drive on the Autobahn. So the Microlino has 90 km/h topspeed is ok for the Autobahn.

I've followed all the twist and turns that the Microlino took to reach production and have to say that the car as first conceived was completely different car so comparing the price of that car to the one that made it to production is really not fair. And if you don't like the price now - Wait till you see the one that meets US specs and is even more expensive.

I would buy it cuzz it is cool and urban practical and I have a fondness for quirky vehicles having owned a few over the last 60-years like a 360 Subaru, Renault Dauphine and Caravelle, Fiat 850 Spider& X1/9, original Honda Civic, BMW 700 LS Coupe, and may more. It seems today that people are really spoiled by the modern vehicle amenities. I grew up with post-war Austins, Sunbeam Rapiers, Triumphs, as family cars. My first car was a 1948 Cadillac convertible, then Flathead Mercs, Fords, Stovebolt Chevys cars and trucks, 48' through 53' Oldsmobiles, more Cadillacs and Cadillac convertibles, and later V8 Chevies and Fords, and VW's from 55' through 65'. Spent may years driving a 36-hp Bugs, so I'm pretty easy going with any car and its quirks. My first new car was a1964 Olds 442, convertible, over the years many new performance cars followed, everything from Spitfires to a 68' Dodge Charger R/T 440 and a Lotus Europa JPS to several Miatas's, and BMW's. None would be anywhere near perfect by today's judgemental buyers. If it runs and stops, defrost and wipes the windows and is fun to drive, I'm not going to sweat its faults. I would have no problem driving an old Bug or 50' Chevy pickup across the country cuzz I have. At least if it broke, I could fix it on the side of the road. Now I'm not against new cars cuzz they are so much better than the old polluting beasts and safer. And, I'm in the market for a new or newer EV, cuzz I'm done with ICE vehicles. In the mid-50's my dad a Biophysicist said that our future was electric cars or we would have a viable future. He was right. Thanks for the enthusiastic post.

Hell yeah! This is fantastic. Would love to have one!

Great stuff as usual, thank you Kyle and Alyssa. I reserved 2 a few years ago but I live in the US... Soooo do you know anything about: 1) Microlino coming to US? 2) A version with quieter motor/powertrain? Thanks!

It's very cool and great looking. It's not a Car. It's a Light Cat. Vehicle u can drive from 16 years old on. Insurance and taxes r cheap like a Scooter. Thank u for the great Video.

OK what does it cost in US dollars? How much does it weigh? Can it be flat towed behind an RV or does it have to have all four wheels up on a trailer? That’s the question I want cause I like the little thing make a great tow vehicle for behind my RV..

Sorry if I missed it, but is the battery air- or liquid-cooled? Because a small, air-cooled pack (so, low lifetime) in an expensive car makes the price that much harder to swallow.

I’ve made several trips to Italy and have some Italian family. The name - Too close to pisolino!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂. That was the funniest video I’ve ever seen on the channel.

Very good design and portable

DU in German means “YOU”. What was that Maserati beside you before you reversed to the elevator? When you plugged the car in, the center screen presented the “M-CRO” logo before showing the buttons.

can you recline the seat to almost level for sleeping ?

Cute car that puts a smile on my face. Would get a kick out of seeing one driving around my neighborhood. Especially one in a two tone color combination. But would I buy one? Nope! At least the originals steering wheel moved out of the way when you opened the door. I like it from outside.

If you're ever back in the SD area before I sell my ZENN car, you might need to give it a go. Originally it only had ~6kW, but with motor and battery upgrades now it's pushing 60+kW! Realistically it's pretty ridiculous, as it just burns rubber when giving more than ~1/2 throttle at low speeds. Pretty much everything else about the car is super sketchy as well, haha.

cant wait until it comes to Norway. i allso have had a twizy for many years. Can i ask what microphone u are using?

Tell me that Alyssa is filming without telling me. 2:06

I love neighborhood commute EVs, they make so much sense. I'm more curious about European vehicle class L6e-BP (but also L7e-CP). My neighborhood commute is only 30-50 km/h, thus the 45 km/h max for L6e is enough. I think the Microlino is cool, except it's too expensive.

Love it!!!!!

Microlino lives by the Marchionne method - EVs = XPNSV. Seems they put all the r/d budget into the body/chassis/interior and used the last $2 of the budget to select the off the shelf motor and controller.

If the base model was $12k and top of the line model was $15k it would make sense

Is legal to use on German Autobahn requested Speed at least 61kph / kmh Just to mention it. It is a funny Car. Great to See it now on streets and parking.😊

I love that you accidentally called yourself rich. 🤣🤣. Amazing video!! 😊

would you also do an Evetta EV review as I'd love to know which clone is best.

My dream car

Will there be anticipated safe exit issues in event of collision, if contemplating USA entry? Pretty cool though!

To be allowed to drive on the Autobahn, your vehicle must be able to do "more than 60 kph". That is the only rule in regards of speed. 90 kph is plenty enough.

10:35 How cute is that lil' car on the key fob! :)

Happy to see the Microlino getting more attention from Americans. I think bringing these to the US as an NEV would be quite successful. So what if it has to be speed limited to 25MPH. It would be the car to have in coastal communities such as Laguna Beach and Newport Beach in California.

Great video. Do you prefer your Twizzy?

Range test please.. Also does it come with a/c?

Kyle your videos are Always TopNotch!! How many EV’s do you and your wife Own?

How quickly would the novelty wear off?

Should be proximity key only. That key sticking out of the stalk is a design flaw.

I wonder how Long the Warranty is on this type car.

I want it!

Two things: the Isetta from BMW is just a licensed Iso Isetta. And the BMW Motorcycles are german build in Berlin. Yes, I think it's to expensive as well. But don't forget in the german pricing are 19% sales taxes included.

That dog zoom, while Kyle was talking😂

Cute little car hope they bring it to the uk

I ordered one❤

I WANT ONE!!!

Its "MY CRO LEENO". And that IS the 2.0. The 1.0 was the earlier design that Micro never brought to production. So that is the final version and is not changing.

It's so cool

It's less than a Harley Davidson Livewire....better mileage range...roof for the rain and the sunroof for other times. With that top of the line battery and refinements...that's a serious daily commuter and regional run about.

Are there any seat belts ?

I've been waiting for this since 2017 but as we are living in America, I hope this can be import to US on someday.

so...totally cool,

14:56 Thats a sales location for BMW cars. The BMW Motorrad production is located in Berlin-Spandau.

The good news is this is a starting point - it can get better (and cheaper) from here! I think it's a cute city car, and the market needs more like this.

Reminds me of that one episode of these british guys who often drive odd cars. The older guy drove this tiny car (probably 1/2 the size of the Microlino, through the lobby of company which produced his shows, into an elevator and then through the open office area of the people who produce the show. He was pretty much stuck in there. All hunched over and such. I'm sure someone remembers this and can reference the show.

I don’t think I’ll be going any smaller than my Mini Cooper S E thank you, at least the Mini has the power/ speed to get away from the big trucks on the highway!

love it

R they doing an RHD version ? great for the care home estate…

Where can i buy one?

They price the early adopter ones according to demand (which probably is off the charts), to fund the development of the company and to fund the development of the cheaper mass production version that I guess could come soon enough, at some point, who knows, if they can mass produce hundreds of thousands or even millions of these, they might sell these at $8000 or even $5000.

The isetta bubble the steering wheel lurched forward with the door so it was easier to get in…

It is legal to drive on the Autobahn. The maximum speed must be more than 60 km/h. The thing in the vehicle registration certificate is as follows. The 13 kW stated under P.2 is the continuous power for 30 minutes, max power is 19 kW.

15:10 she is absolutely right about pronunciation: in Italy we say "mee-cro-lee-no" 😊

My first two cars were BMW Isettas, basically this car with an old motorbike engine. One thing that made it super cool, made people smile and made it easier to use was the steering wheel which folded out as the door opened so you had the full width of the car to step into, turn round and sit down and as the driver, you just stood up and stepped out. I’m really disappointed that the Microlino doesn’t have that feature. Otherwise, I love it.
