[10] As a microcar, it contains aspects of a car and motorcycle, and has 50% fewer parts than a typical automobile and its environmental footprint is up to 60% lower than that of a conventional electric vehicle.

[11][12][13] In 2024, Microlino introduced a fixed-profile convertible variant, the Spiaggina, recalling the European and American open beach cars of the 1960s — e.g., the Fiat 500 Jolly, Citroën Méhari, Renault Rodeo, Meyers Manx, VW Thing and BMC Mini Moke.

[15] The idea for the Microlino originated from Wim, Oliver, and Merlin Ouboter, the Swiss family behind the Micro Kickscooter, and the car was initially produced in China.

Artega announced in 2019 that it would launch a competing model named “Karolino” and Micro Mobility Systems sued the company in successfully in 2019.

This variant features a 6 kW motor, a top speed of 45 km/h, and a weight of less than 425 kilograms, making it operable with a moped license in several countries.

In October 2024, Micro Mobility Systems presented the Microlino Spiaggina, a convertible version of its electric microcar, at the Paris Motor Show.

[35] The Microlino is available with three battery capacities:[36] The car is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor delivering 12.5 kW (17 hp), enabling a top speed of 90 km/h and rear-wheel drive.

[41][42] The Microlino Spiaggina is a limited-edition model inspired by vintage beach vehicles, combining a retro design and electric mobility.
