Jack heads to Turin to do battle with Northern Italian traffic in one of the most hotly anticipated new cars of the year - except it isn't really a car at all. The latest creation of the inventor of the folding kick scooter, the Microlino is half microcar, half fashion statement on wheels, and one of the most joyous vehicles we've ever featured on the channel. Think cars are getting too big and too serious? Take a look at this.

    They've minimized every aspect of a car except the price. Brilliant.
  • Jack Scarlett, this from your 91-year-old American fan. You are without-a-doubt, the best, most-charming hustler on YouTube in the whole world! Always delighted to see you turn-up as the presenter on wonderful micro-vehicles or whatever! Best regards, Bob Campbell
  • Nice idea keeping it simple, but 15-20k is a bit much. For the Northern market they might want to think of being able to swap out the fabric sunroof for a hard top for it to be more water tight in winter weather.
  • @helojoe92
    What I love the most about the microlino is the minimalism in extra features: NO electric windows, NO electric sunroof, NO Infotainment system, NO power breaking or steering, NO electric mirror adjustment. This car will be so much easier to maintain, just because there's less to go wrong! <3

    2 adults and 3 crates of beer.... What a tag line! Love it! Great work Fully Charged crew x
  • The most sensible vehicle design for today's busy streets. Very basic yet practical design. Love that adorable look.
  • Since the start I've said that EV design is completely pointless. We had a perfect opportunity to re-invent what a car is and one of the key directions would be to go smaller and more efficient. Instead, we've gone for HGV style monstrosities weighting more than a cruise ship and consuming energy and materials worse than the worst excesses of ICE cars. This little car is definitely headed in the right direction. Excellent.
  • Yes, the most reassuring scene in this vid was that first scan of an actual assembly line. Not a light warehouse with one prototype in the middle that might sort of work, but a real factory. This type of thing, like a modern version of the post-WWII boom in weird but practical transport from mopeds to scooters to bubble cars is exactly what I think's needed. With no need to aspire let alone achieve attaining to owning a big EV for most of us

    It's really a great EV. And I'm one of the proud owners since a week.
  • @lord_flashheart
    Weight and aerodynamis are two completely different things. A car thats very light but has terrible aerodynamics will still consume more fuel (depending on the speed of course). And a car with great aerodynamics but high weight can still be very efficient at constant and high speeds.
  • @MrBnsftrain
    I love that the Isetta has been re-born! I recognize those bubble cars from TV shows and car books. I always complain that most people (like myself) have too big of a car for transporting just themself and a couple of small boxes, and there are very few cars that are just that without a giant engine. This thing can also go fast enough so that you won't hold up larger cars.
  • @c21nickyp25
    Wow, love the concept of a smaller city size EV but the price point seems too big for such a tiny car
  • @dekockj
    I opened this up thinking no way I'll drive that, but you should do the marketing material. This is absolutely brilliant.
  • @gregdavis4050
    Love it - incredible review Jack - 'crippling anxiety of suddenly being t-boned by a nonna in a punto' was perfection 🙂
  • I love it and I want it, especially the babyblue one. I was really hoping that the switch to EVs gives us back the small, fun and quirky cars we had until the early 2000s and it seems I will not be disappointed.😁
  • @3milio0o95
    The Microlino is absolutely adorable! Love retro cars! Good to see that they finally got into production, hope they do well.
  • @dmcl6762
    Been watching the trials and tribulations of this lovely little car for a couple of years. Great to see it is really happening now - and the developments and improvements that have taken place. 🤗
  • @taloire43
    The car put a smile on your face and your review put a smile on mine!
  • @nidzovski
    A lot of passion in your work mate. Bravo!
