This tiny Swiss vehicle is the cutest way to get around a city, and it’s available for preorder now. Manufacturer Micro is adamant that the Microlino is not a car, but the vehicle still seems like a fun ride.

Micro Mobility Systems is still waiting on a design approval for the US, but its European version is set to ship in 2021.

Take a look.

---

Micro, which also produced the Microletta e-scooter, is marketing the Microlino vehicle as “the ideal mix between motorbike and car.”

---

The Microlino is only 2.4 meters, or just under 8 feet, long.

---

Due to its small size, the Microlino can cross-park, perfect for city driving.

---

The small size also comes with some tradeoffs, of course. The vehicle maxes out around 55 mph, but that should be plenty for city driving.

---

But, the Microlino can also fully charge in four hours, while plugged into a regular household outlet, or in just one hour at a Type One electric vehicle charger.

---

It has a range of about 77 miles with the base battery or 124 miles with an upgraded battery.

---

It has one door, which opens from the front of the vehicle.

---

The interior looks a little tight, with a bench seat.

---

Micro assures customers that the vehicle fits everything you need: “Space for two adults and three beer crates.”

---

It has a smart display dashboard…

---

…and a sun roof.

---

The Microlino will start shipping in 2021 in Switzerland and Germany, and then expand into other countries from there.

---

Micro told Business Insider that the Microlino already has about 18,000 preorders for the $13,000 vehicle.

---

Making the Microlino energy efficient was a top concern for designers, and Micro says that producing this vehicle requires 60% less energy than the average electric car.

---

Colors and interiors are customizable.

---

The vehicle will come in eight colors: “Zurich Blue, Milano Red, Amsterdam Orange, Paris Mint, Barcelona Brown, London Grey, Gotham Black, and Vienna White.”

---

The Microlino doesn’t have a US release date yet, and Micro said that it will first have to make design changes to meet US requirements.
