Vehicle model
Microcar Gamme Microcar - véhicules particuliers
Microcar's core range comprises its license-free passenger light cars: the Dué, a compact two-seat city car, and the M.Go, the flagship model offered across several generations since 2009. These light quadricycles (AM category, drivable from age 14 in France) target everyday urban mobility, local trips, and drivers without a category-B license. The brand also produced the MC1, MC2, and Virgo series that preceded the M.Go. The emphasis is on ease of driving (automatic gearbox, compact size), economy, and safety, with the standard seatbelt as a historic hallmark. For tire equipment, these models fit 13-inch wheels in 145/70 R13, the segment's standard size; in Quebec, a dedicated winter setup would remain essential on snow and ice.

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.
