The Microlino ‘Spiaggina’ is a windowless, drop-top quadricycle that costs £21k
Beach special also does 110 miles of range and a top speed of 56mph. Is this the perfect summer travel companion?
Microlino, maker of adorable electric quadricycles, is beginning production of the new range-topping ‘Spiaggina’ version it unveiled last year, which is all about hot summer nights and mocktails by the beach.
For starters, the Spiaggina loses the rear and side windows, and the canvas roof can be rolled up or removed entirely, so there’s nothing but the windscreen and the car’s frame around you. Colour choices include ‘Portofino Blue’ or ‘Sardinia Sage’ as previewed above.
Those leather seats are made from the sort of vegan leather used frequently in sailing yachts, finished in a two-tone paint. They’re moisture-resistant too - ideal for masking any mocktail-related accidents.
The Spiaggina will be offered in mid-range spec by default, which means a 10.5kWh battery and up to 110 miles of juice, regained entirely within four hours at a home socket. This version will even hit 56mph thanks to its 17bhp e-motor.
Microlino is also debuting a new ‘Cool and Connect’ package, which brings a more modernised climate control system, a smartphone holder and a Bluetooth speaker. This upgrade can be applied to both mid and long-range models. So yes, you can spec your Spiaggina with it.
No word on how much the Cool and Connect will cost, but we do know the Spiaggina could be yours from €24,990 (£21,377).
