French Electric Microcar Mixes Motorcycle And Car, Promises Agility In Urban Traffic And Is Already In Pre-Sale With Deliveries Scheduled For 2026
The French startup AEMotion has revealed an electric microcar that stands out for its unusual shape and practical solutions for urban mobility. The vehicle combines features of a motorcycle and a car, with tilting technology and ultracompact dimensions, designed for those who need to navigate large cities.
The project has been under development since 2014. Now, the vehicle has entered pre-sale with production scheduled for 2026. Despite having four wheels, it leans into turns like a motorcycle. It is only 79 centimeters wide and can be parked upright, without the use of a side stand.
Among its highlights, the microcar can reach speeds of up to 115 km/h. It uses handlebars instead of a steering wheel. The standard range is 200 km, with the option to extend it using additional batteries, each providing 70 km of range.

Government launches financing of up to R$ 150,000 for app drivers and taxi drivers to buy new cars with interest rates below the Selic, and women will have even better conditions in the Move Brasil program, which can serve 250,000 people with R$ 30 billion from BNDES.
The seat design also resembles that of motorcycles: the driver sits in front and the passenger sits behind. Both have four-point seat belts.
The model has undergone automotive-level crash simulations. It features EPP bumpers, collision boxes, and disc hydraulic brakes. The body of the car protects passengers from the weather, although the driver’s legs remain partially exposed.
The microcar was showcased at the “Viva Technology” fair in Paris. Initial production will be domestic. The idea is to offer the model via subscription, at around € 200 per month.
The first batch will be delivered by the end of 2026. Mass production is only expected after 2028. For now, there are no plans for a launch outside France.
