We have seen this with the evolution of the housing design. [Swiss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-lift-system) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microchip-technology) can be efficiently charged and can develop a maximum speed of 50 mph and 12 mph, respectively.
