A little bit spaceshippy too. You could easily plop the motor noise into sci-fi without anyone batting an eye.

And I’d gladly drive this any day over a Cyber Truck.

And you can park i anywhere! also reverse of cybertruck It's probably also more practical and won't break down after week of ownership

@@kacperolszowski1331 A full week? How generous!

Absolutely better than a cybertruck, but 17990 eur (19,500 usd) is still a pretty serious chunk of change. You could land a leaf or a prius with that. Does look fun though.

That only makes it more attractive It's also small, practical and economical

BUY THE NUGGET WADE BUY IT

Admit it, you want the car because the Bluetooth speaker it comes with is clearly a rebrand of the sexy speaker.

Get the nugget! Do it! And a Citroën Ami! (the '61 version too if you can find one)

well it claims to not be a car, you can choose to believe it.

"this is not a car" ;)

LOOKATIT!!

I was genuinely shocked to hear that they are not native to the USA, I've seen one snuffling in the garden (UK) and it's the cutest thing ever.. right up there with puppies and kittens.

I have few of those in the garden , they eat everything, sometimes I feed em with leftovers

@@Anon-mk4ms they're not native to the Americas or Oceania/Australia, only Europe, Asia and Africa

Something of a novelty for Americans, I guess! They are everywhere here in the UK and sadly get squashed by cars a lot on country roads.

It is a subtler distinction than usual, isn't it.

It is a 1:1 scale

Pretty close! 😂

some scale models of 80s cars can run more than having a 1:1.

There was a prime opportunity that was missed for him to cut to Terry Gilliam saying "It's only a model" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

My first thought as a Swiss: Oh shit, he doesn't have a "Vignette", this will cost a lot of money now! Context: Swiss highways are all toll roads. The toll is payed by purchasing a "Vignette" (a sticker that you stick on your windshield) for a year for 40 CHF. But if you enter the highway and you don't have one, that's gonna be 200 CHF + the 40 CHF for a "Vignette".

@@rGunti That might be the bigger issue than "being on the highway with a 90kph car", since the swiss highway is locked to 120 anyway.

​@@Happymali10and trucks are electronically limited to just over 80, so a microcar going 90 will be fine.

@@Quintinohthree I assume you're talking kilometers per hour. How do your trucks get anywhere in a reasonable time if they can only go 80KPH? That's not just slow, it's dangerous because of the speed differential.

@@bwofficial1776 well for one, driving from one end of texas to the other, is the equivalent of driving through a DOZEN different countries in europe so is a non issue, and they have competent trains, so most truck shipping is just in city anyways, and again a non issue.

Exactly. $12k is more like it

It's made in Switzerland, what did you expect. I thought it'd be more in the 30~35k ballpark😐 I'd just buy a Citoen Ami (or even several) for that kind of price, especially the Lite version which does have the same speed limit.

​​@@pbe6965I'd except at least air bags💀

@@pbe6965 If it was made in the US, that $30-35K price would be real.

Honestly that's very reasonable IMHO. Remember that's including sales tax as well. And a less specced one is noticeably cheaper. Edit: Also it seems to be 21 370 swiss francs now and not 23k.

Now imagine if they had a subway available to them!

People park these perpendicular to the parking spot in Europe. So you can actually get three of them in a normal parking spot

OMG, that sound just played in my head and YESYESYESYESYESYES!!! If nothing else, it could be the reverse tone.

They do need some noise for slow moving EVs as they can sneak up on people.

Where is button saying "Dr Spock, beam me up" 😂

@@CheepchipsableThat is already a law, pedestrian warning sounds have been required on all EVs sold for multiple years now (At least in the USA)

Imagine all the weird little cars he could find!

@@catfish552 I wish we could have Europe's weird little cool economy cars with the USA's car modifications and gun culture. Wait... Two of those three things are just Switzerland. Shame they can't do a whole lot of car modification over there.

@@lsswappedcessna Swiss/European gun culture is different than american. We don't hold competitions at elections, shopping centres and schools. Only courtrooms and angry parents are accepted. Add.: /s

​@lsswappedcessna I am pretty sure that you can do car modifications it might just be more expensive because you have to get safety reports for the modifications to be legal. That is how it Works in Germany and I am pretty sure a lot of other European countries as well. And the Swiss gun culture is not like the American gun culture at all.

@@astorjupit6932 Makes sense. Also yeah I know swiss gun culture is overall different but it is still interesting. Europe overall has some damned good marksmen.

nice... a CD to listen to on your bluetooth speaker :)

I want that hedgehog

me too!! someday. I hope.

I want Swiss passport! and no Microlino!

Ok, when?

That's not set in stone yet, so they don't want to promise too much.

Fingers crossed for Ontario too. We have a similar category to France though it's 40 km/h instead of 45 km/h (which is kind of awkward on 50 km/h roads)

I was assuming that it would have to meet the safety standards in the US... and I don't see how it would pass the crash tests. If it was classed as a motorcycle, then it wouldn't have to meet the standards, but I had the impression that a "motorcycle" couldn't have more than 3 wheels. OTOH, how did the Smart Car pass the tests? What's the secret to getting these tiny cars to be street legal in the US?

Good to hear it may be coming to the states. At an age where my clutch knee complains on chilly mornings, I’ve been idly looking at electric city cars, and this strikes me as the perfect vehicle to get me to doctor appointments with a smile but no fuss

I saw one at a BMW dealership here in the US a few years ago. It was fully restored, all shined up and had a place of honor right in the middle of the showroom floor.

The Isetta is genuinely more interesting than some rich prick showing off how he has more money than everyone else.

Reminds me of when I worked at a center for pre delivery inspections. We handled everything from cheap inline 3s to expensive v12 luxury cars, but then one of the employees show up in an old Audi 80 CC, which is as basic as you can get. Everyone stopped what they were doing and went to take a look. No one looked at the RS6 standing right next to it.

That’s what I thought. I said is that a bullet bill?

I smell a lawsuit

We'll call it Projectile William, that should do it.

@@JTCF Only it's not teeth its an arm and fist. So it is just literally a bullet bill

@@Twinspinner Wait until you find out they made a Lancia version of the Chrysler 300

And 2 less cylinders. They were sold in Brazil as well.

​@@no1DdCNope, that rightmost christmas tree is for turning right... And it's red.

@@no1DdC You can see that the turning lane has its own dedicated light which is red so it would be illegal no matter what.

Not to mention the fine the owners might be about to get for going on the motorway without an vignette!

​They also sell things like the Polaris Ranger in the US, but people keep importing kei trucks. Some people don't want to exposed to the elements, some people want better build quality, and in the case of the Microlino I really doubt there's much of an overlap between people that'd drive either it or the Slingshot. They're different beasts.

It’d have to be the lite version. Which is just about the right speed, actually, just a hair too fast.

I live in a city the allows golf carts and all manner of other quirky vehicles on the road, so long as they go less than 35 mph. It's common in many cities. There's definitely a market for this type of car here.

It gets it's own wall charger with some personalized stickers or even paint if I take up your dogbowl idea :p

On a real Isetta, that's called the "drip pan."

like a massive wireless charging pad thing edit: i could also sync its name to the front of the charging pad or smthn

Prowse reviews a 12v 100ah LFPo with high surge capacity, for $200. It also has an internal heater.

James May had the same issue with his Tesla 3, after Covid lockdown ... despite i being plugged in the whole time ! The propulsion battery was full, so the charge stopped, but the 12v lead acid battery drained itself and was completely flat. And a nightmare to get access to. So even big manufacturers have the same questionnable design decisions (and the M3 is not even their first model, they had years to fix it).

@@pbe6965 May put a connector for an au

Worth seeing if you can use a smart trickle charger with it. You can get adapters with a couple of ring-crimps that attach permanently to the battery terminals that lead to a little plug/socket that you position somewhere easy to access so that you can just plug the charger into it without opening the bonnet or boot. CTek seem to be the most well known manufacturer. I think James May has a video about installing the adaptors on his car collection. They're good for keeping batteries warm in the winter too.

They should probably make the hatches mechanical.

I'm boring and just call it a foot rest.

Oh shit, hi Dev!!! I enjoy the hell out of the fact that you're floating about in some of my favorite channels too.

@@ncc74656m 👋😁 Hiya! Indeed, I never miss a Robert video. 👍

If I keep seeing you in the comments sections of all my favorite KZfaq channels, I’ll be forced to call you a man of impeccable taste. Also, if you haven’t seen it, there’s a video that’s gained lots of traction from the IFJ (Institute for Justice). It’s drawing attention to a new “tactic” increasingly being used by the DEA. But get this. They’re going after ppl & searching their carry on bags after TSA has already cleared them. It involves luggage, cops, civil rights violations (but I repeat myself), and air travel: the literal intersection of DeviantOllam, DeviantOllam, & DeviantOllam! So, basically the DEA is now monitoring ticket purchases. If you buy a last minute ticket, & that ticket is inbound to any “high drug activity destination” read: any major city, odds are pretty good DEA is gonna be at your gate to meet you. To do what, you ask? Search your shit without probable cause, of course! And if you don’t consent to this flagrant violation of your 4th amendment rights? They’ll just steal your bag and tell you, you’re free to go. Don’t want to leave without your bag? Just let them search it! Otherwise, you’re going to miss your flight as you wait for them to apply for a warrant they definitely shouldn’t get, but ,depending on the judge’s politics, they definitely might get. Once that happens, anything valuable such as jewelry, cash, etc DEA finds in your carry-on is theirs now. Because, obviously your grandmother’s engagement ring is being used to facilitate trade of illegal drugs. If you weren’t a drug kingpin or at least working for one, why did you buy a last minute plane ticket? And it’s not like any serious criminal organization would’ve heard about this new tactic almost as soon as DEA began using it! Even if they had, what do you expect them to do? Just NOT buy tickets last minute? Preposterous! Criminals aren’t that organized! Criminals can’t be organized! Are you high on your own supply there, Scarface? Anyway, seemed like a topic right down your alley. Keep fighting the good fight.

I still have DEEP pangs of regret about not buying a Honda 400 Four, that was for sale at a great price from a guy who lived in the same town as myself, it's one of those thoughts that haunts my shower times and when I lay in bed waiting for sleep to claim me.

60 Kilometers Per Hour is 37 MPH

It has a top speed of 90 km/h which is just under 56 mph. It would work as a city/commuter car, but wouldn't want to see one on any 65 mph highway as that's too slow.
