Honestly don't buy this car. It's way overpriced for what it is (hardly classifiable as a car) and is tiny. I just like the design and wanted to share it. Also is a car and I don't like the concept of cars as a default mean of transport in general, but I appreciate the design choices.
That's cool. I'd recommend attaching something in the description next time you post something like this. Something that makes it clear it isn't an ad. On Lemmy, you're able to attach text to images very easily. I don't really mind, but I saw someone else mention this post in a different community and don't want you getting shat on for liking cars.
I'm so in love with electric microcars I just can't get enough
The Microlino is a genius design but I personally prefer the Topolino because it actually looks like a shrinked car (though it looks like the Microlino has better specs), which is also why I prefer it to the Citroën Ami which it is based on
I don't target everyone that enjoys cars in general, mind that, I'm a car enjoyer myself.
I mostly refer to a series of behaviours that some (right-wing) petrolheads seem to have which are against progressive ideas, like different approaches to transportation that go against the idea of car-centric cities or the switch to electric engines in favor of 'muh engine sound'. That's why I specifically target petrolheads, and while I agree that drivers are a lesser problem, let's not forget that drivers are buyers.
But I realize I've done a lot of generalizing saying that so I will refrain from using the phrase again in future posts. My apologies.
I believe it’s an all-electric quadricycle, not a typical car. This is meant for people that live in urban environments with short daily commutes. I could see something like this being great for people who may not be physically able to ride a bicycle or navigate some less-accessible metro networks. It’s also significantly cheaper than most electric vehicles.
Correct, tho I think it's mainly targeted to people who already have a car but personally I would see small electric vehicles as a more ethical alternative to cars and a more comfortable alternative to bikes for daily commuting.
