At the Geneva Motor Show, the Ouboter family presents the Microlino for the first time – inspired by the iconic Isetta. The idea: an electric bubble car, as compact as a scooter but offering the protection and comfort of a car. In just the first two days after the unveiling, more than 500 reservations are placed – an overwhelming signal.
After intensive testing, the Microlino receives European type approval. With ranges of 126 km (8 kWh) and 202 km (14.4 kWh), it covers the needs of more than 95% of all everyday trips. This paves the way for series production.
After the first prototypes, the team decides to completely rethink the vehicle technically. The goal: a more stable chassis, higher safety, and an improved driving experience – laying the foundation for the later Microlino 2.0.
Micro Mobility announces CECOMP in Turin as its new production and development partner. This gives the project a solid industrial base – right in the heart of Italy’s automotive region.

Production ramps up, and in June the 1,000th vehicle is built. The first larger deliveries take place in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. Microlino establishes itself as a serious alternative in the urban mobility segment.
At the Geneva Motor Show 2024, Micro presents the production version of the Microlino Lite. In autumn, the series version of the Spiaggina follows in Paris, bringing a modern interpretation of Dolce Vita with its convertible look. By the end of 2024, around 3,700 vehicles have already been produced – an important step for scaling up market entry.
