Vehicle model
Microcar Gamme Microcar - utilitaires ou VUS
Microcar did not develop a true SUV or heavy commercial vehicle, but its range includes rugged-looking variants and more versatile versions of its light quadricycles. The M.Go, particularly in Outdoor or X trims, adopts an SUV-inspired style (cladding, emphasized ground clearance, rugged stance) while remaining a compact quadricycle intended for the city and short trips. Four-seat variants (M.Go Family, heavy quadricycle) broaden family or semi-professional use. The target audience includes drivers without a license, young people from age 14 (in France), and people looking for a small practical vehicle. As for tires and wheels, these variants keep the small 13-inch wheels in 145/70 R13 characteristic of license-free cars; in Quebec, winter use would require dedicated winter tires in this reduced format.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les voiturettes sans permis Microcar (Dué, M.Go, MC1, MC2) roulent sur de petites jantes de 13 pouces, équipées de pneus étroits de type 145/70 R13, dimension partagée par la plupart des voitures sans permis (Aixam, Ligier, Bellier, Chatenet). On trouve aussi des montes voisines comme le 145/80 R13 selon les versions. Les jantes acier ou alliage utilisent un entraxe spécifique aux quadricycles, à vérifier au modèle. Au Québec, ces véhicules restent rares et non homologués pour l'usage routier courant; pour tout usage hivernal, des pneus hiver en 13 pouces dédiés aux voitures sans permis existent et restent indispensables sur neige et glace.
