Microlino Lite available for 14 year olds

Microlino is an all-electric, four-wheeled Quadricycle inspired by the Isetta, a bubble car from the 1950s. It was created in 2016 in collaboration between Microlino and CECOMP, as Microlino 1.0. In 2022, the more modern Microlino 2.0 arrived on the market, and now the Microlino Lite is presented, a version that will be able to be driven in most countries from the age of 16, and in France and Italy from the age of 14.

This version does not differ much in design from the Microlino 2.0, and customers will be able to choose between two body colors, Venice Blue and Berlin Anthracite. It is powered by an electric motor with 12 hp (9 kW) enough to reach a limited top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). That is significantly less than the original, which has 17 hp (12.5 kW) and a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph).

The car is equipped with a 6 kWh battery that enables a range of 90 km (56 miles), and customers can also choose an 11 kWh battery with a range of up to 177 km (110 miles). The battery can be charged up to 80 percent in just two hours.

When it comes to price, the Microlino Lite can be purchased on a four-year contract for CHF 149 ($169) per month. Sales will start soon.

2025 Renault 5 E-Tech Electric

At the beginning of the 70s, Renault’s engineers had the task of developing a car that would fill the gap between the Renault 4 and the Citroen 2CV. The result was Renault 5. The best-selling model in France until 1980 when Renault expanded its offering in this class. Now the French manufacturer has premiered the electric version of this model, the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric.

The car is 3.92 meters long, 1.77 meters wide and 1.5 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.54 meters. A retro-futuristic design that gives it a modern look while staying true to its roots. The design of the front lights and vertical rear lights pay homage to the legendary Renault 5, just like the pronounced wheel arches. The rear door handles are integrated into the base of the C-pillars to create the illusion of a three-door body like the original. It is equipped with a multi-link rear independent suspension, a heat pump for quick heating of the interior and a system for recuperating energy by braking, which is used to charge the battery.

Inside, the vertical stitching on the dash and ventilation openings in the shape of a rectangle are reminiscent of the original. There is also a 7.0- or 10.0-inch screen of the digital instrument cluster depending on the version, a 10.0-inch screen of the infotainment system. Although it is a small car, the capacity of the luggage compartment is 326 liters. It is larger than the Twingo, but smaller than the Clio, and is the first model based on the AmpR Small platform previously known as the CMF-B EV.

When it comes to the powertrain, the 40 kWh battery version is powered by an electric motor with 95 hp (71 kW) and 159 lb-ft (215 Nm) of torque or 120 hp (89 kW) and 166 lb-ft (225 Nm) of torque , which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 10 seconds. It weighs 1,350 kg. The slightly heavier version (1,450 kg) is equipped with a 52 kWh battery, and is powered by an electric motor with 150 hp (110 kW) and 181 lb-ft (245 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 7.5 seconds with a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph) and a range of 400 km.

The price of the new Renault 5 E-Tech Electric will be around 25,000 euros.
