Micro-transportation is a plausible scenario for the future as cities grow in population and spaces become extra limited. We have seen this with the evolution of the housing design.
Swiss company Micro is one of the businesses who is working on various concepts for the auto industry that will enable successful and hassle-free micro-transportation for residents. The brand recently released four designs that support this concept. They consist of a new e-motorcycle, two e-scooters, as well as an updated version of the 2016 Microlino microcar. While the vehicle is small enough that it can take up only a third from the traditional parking space, the e-motorcycle and e-scooters can be efficiently charged and can develop a maximum speed of 50 mph and 12 mph, respectively.
