Dubbed as an ideal mix between a motorbike and a car, Microlino’s production is scheduled to begin in March.
According to its website, Microlino is a bubble-shaped vehicle that offers space for "two adults and three beer crates," convenient charging and easy parking.
The company is aiming to have its first deliveries of Microlino 2.0 in April or May.
"Our goal was to deliver the first vehicles to customers within the end of the year (2021), but the worldwide supply chain chaos is affecting us, like many other carmakers," the company told Autoweek. "Despite our preparations to order crucial parts way in advance, the situation has gotten much worse and is now affecting more and more parts. Now, even commodity parts like simple connectors for the wiring harness have become scarce and have lead times of up to 50 weeks."
The vehicle will have 6-, 10.5-, and 14-kWh capacities, which are anticipated to drive 60, 109, and 143 miles on one charge, according to Autoweek.
The production will take place in Turin, Italy, and will go on sale in Switzerland first before spreading to other European markets as an alternative to e-bikes and scooters.
Aside from the three editions -- Urban, Dolce, and Competizione -- an exclusive Pioneer Series limited edition for the first 500 Microlinos ever produced will also be released.
