Micro Mobility Systems consider\u00f3 el modelo como una \"copia del Microlino\", que \"naturalmente no funciona entre socios\". Incluso antes de que el Karolino celebrara su estreno en el IAA de septiembre, la empresa suiza consigui\u00f3 que se prohibiera la publicidad del Artega Karolino. No obstante, la empresa alemana expuso el coche bajo el nuevo nombre de Karo.<\/p>\n
Ahora el conflicto ha quedado zanjado, lo que permite a ambas empresas seguir promocionando sus propios modelos. Artega ha mantenido el pulso: s\u00f3lo unas horas despu\u00e9s de que se anunciara el acuerdo en un comunicado de prensa, Artega envi\u00f3 otro comunicado directamente despu\u00e9s con m\u00e1s fechas y precios para el Karo.<\/p>\n
En este comunicado de prensa, la empresa se refiere al coche como el KARO-Isetta. El modelo llevar\u00e1 este ep\u00edteto ahora que los herederos del inventor del ISO-Isetta, Ermenegildo Preti, han dado su visto bueno. Se dice que el KARO-Isetta tiene una velocidad de hasta 90 km\/h y una autonom\u00eda de hasta 200 kil\u00f3metros. Los pedidos se aceptan de inmediato y los primeros veh\u00edculos se entregar\u00e1n en abril de 2020. Paralelamente a las ventas directas a trav\u00e9s de Artega, la empresa quiere crear una \"red mundial de ventas y servicios\", seg\u00fan sus propias declaraciones.<\/p>\n

Artega has not provided further technical data in the press release. But some details about the production: The steel chassis is manufactured by Artega itself, further components and the battery are supplied by the automotive supplier Paragon or its subsidiary Voltabox. This is hardly surprising as Artega boss Frers is also involved in these two companies. Initially, the car will be offered in two versions, ‘Intro’ series as limited edition and the ‘Edition’ version. Artega did not go into technical differences, but the Intro series is to have a signature and individual numbering. The limited Intro costs 18,500 euros plus VAT. (21,995 euros gross in Germany), the Edition will be available from 15,122 euros plus VAT. (17,995 euros gross in Germany).<\/p>\n
While Artega is producing their microcar themselves, Micro Mobility has teamed up with the Italian company CECOMP. CECOMP was founded in 1978 and has been active in model and prototype construction since then \u2013 formerly, among others, for the Lancia Delta Integrale and Golf I, and later CECOMP developed and produced the Bluecar electric small car, which was used in the Parisian electric car-sharing Autolib. CECOMP, now managed by the two sons of the founder, has five production sites in Europe.<\/p>\n
With the Bluecar, the new partner, therefore, has significant electrical experience. Peter M\u00fcller, who was appointed CTO in September, will also help Micro Mobility with the development. M\u00fcller has been a board member at BMW, Porsche and other companies in the automotive and motorcycle industry \u2013 for example, with the dispute partner Artega, but also the Chinese car manufacturer Chery.<\/p>\n
Micro Mobility boss Wim Ouboter explains that the start of production now scheduled for 2021 is due to a backlog in development \u2013 there have been some delays due to the legal dispute. “Intensive testing of our 22 pre-series vehicles has shown that the current state of development does not yet meet our requirements in terms of handling, quality and safety and that we will have to make some technical changes,” said Ouboter.<\/p>\n
The Swiss company says it has over 16,000 reservations for the Microlino. The future production model, internally called “Microlino 2.0” according to Merlin Ouboter, is expected to have “improved handling, ergonomics and reparability by a world’s measure” and also be “capable of being produced in high volumes”. We are curious to see how the duel between the two electric miniature cars will continue.<\/p>\n
