micro-their creator electric bubble cars Found in some European cities – there is a new microlino especially for Americans. The all-electric Microlino Spyder has been dubbed the “anti-pickup truck” and is meant to be a golf cart replacement. No, not for use on fairways, but on huge resorts and so-called golf cart community Where affluent urbanites can retire in the relative safety of walkable villages with low-speed roads.
“Americans don't just drive big cars. In fact, the US is the world's largest market for golf carts, where they are often used for personal transportation within neighborhoods,” says Wim Obotter, founder and president of Switzerland-based Micro. “That's why we created the Microlino Spider.”
“Think of it as the opposite of massive electric pickup trucks — built not for those 5 percent of trips where you have to haul a lot of stuff,” says Oboter, “but for the 95 percent of trips where you're alone.”
The Microlino Spider has an open door and roof design, making it easy to jump in and out of corners. This is a clear deviation from highway-legal microlino dolce i reviewed last year, or slow Lite version It only requires a moped license – in both you enter through the hinged face of the vehicle to the delight of spectators.
For now, Micro is calling the Microlino Spyder a “concept”, but says it intends to position the Micro Car as “a more stylish and safe alternative to the golf cart, ideal for personal errands or commuting” in the US. To bring. It is now anticipating interest from partners such as “dealer groups, leasing companies and other entrepreneurs interested in bringing this new vehicle category in the country”.
Unfortunately for the Micro, Americans are increasingly gravitating toward larger and more dangerous vehicles. Almost every truck and SUV sold today is larger than it was 20 years ago. And these giants account for about 80 percent of the vehicles sold in America. Experts warn that the larger the vehicle, the the greater the risk resulting in injury or death to pedestrians and cyclists.
Micro's anti-pickup truck cannot solve this particular problem. But in a society struggling with land boats, more choice of small cars is undeniably a good thing.
