Microlino

I'm always amazed at what the smart fortwo did in the 90s. This is the case again this time: In an interview, Microlio's co-founder Oliver Ouboter says that the Microlino would never have existed without smart.

In this short article, I would like to tell you the story of how smart enabled his father to start the company.

Last week the Microlino was a topic because I had the opportunity to drive one. The little car is the perfect micro car for the city and short distances in the village. For you guys, one of the most important topic was the safety it offers. A topic that makes all small cars practically die.

I spoke to one of Microlino's two co-founders, Oliver Ouboter. Safety is in the Microlino's vehicle class a big topic. But it will also be an issue for the next smart fortwo. Because it's getting harder and harder to build a microcar, since the legislature is practically working against microcars and effectively prohibits them.

I drove a Microlino and had a long talk with its owner. A super cool little car and I can't get one question out of my head:

Is this the modern smart fortwo replacement?

The fortwo is still being built, but production seems to slowly being phased out. Meanwhile, Microlino is slowly ramping up series production and has been delivering to private customers for several months now. Reason enough to take a closer look.
