History
History of the Micro Gamme Micro - électrique/hybride
Micro's entire automotive range is fully electric: the brand offers no hybrid or combustion-engine model. The Microlino runs exclusively on battery power, consistent with the sustainable urban-mobility ethos that has defined the company since its scooters. Several battery capacities are offered to adjust range (from about 90 to 230 km) according to need, and charging is done simply from a household outlet or a Type 2 connector in a few hours. This full electrification, combined with a very light vehicle made of few parts, aims for a reduced environmental footprint compared with a conventional electric car. For short trips around town, this all-electric choice is coherent. As for tires and wheels, the vehicle's small-diameter electric wheels require specific formats; in Quebec, winter tires in the correct size would remain essential for safe driving on snow and ice, despite limited availability in these sizes.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
La Microlino est un microvéhicule à roues de très petit diamètre, conçues pour la circulation urbaine à basse vitesse. Les jantes sont nettement plus petites que celles d'une automobile courante, avec des pneus étroits adaptés au faible poids et aux dimensions compactes du véhicule. Pour un acheteur québécois, l'enjeu principal serait de trouver des pneus dans ces formats spécifiques de petit diamètre, souvent proches de l'univers des quadricycles ou des petites citadines. En conditions hivernales québécoises, des pneus d'hiver homologués seraient essentiels pour l'adhérence sur neige et glace, mais l'offre dans ces tailles inhabituelles demeure limitée. Mieux vaut vérifier l'entraxe (bolt pattern), le diamètre exact de jante et la dimension de pneu inscrite sur le flanc avant tout achat.
