Mika's three-seat, 40bhp city car will rival the Citroen Ami and Microlino
Warwickshire-based car maker Mika has announced detailed plans for its sub-£15,000 electric microcar. The EV, announced on 20 November, will go toe to toe with the Citroën Ami but is said to offer better performance, greater handling and far more crash safety, as well as an additional seat. Created by Robin Hall, whose acclaimed Mika Meon buggy is Britain’s lightest electric car, the EV is officially classed as an L7 quadricycle and has a top speed of 56mph.
“Anyone can see the sense in offering a vehicle that’s simpler and lighter than other small cars, but making it more dangerous as a consequence isn’t acceptable.” The Mika quad’s loadbearing frame supports composite outer panels and carries three people . All sit above a floorpan-mounted 16kWh battery that can be upgraded to 32kWh. Range is 80 miles or 160 miles with the extra cells. Power comes from two very small 48V electric motors embedded in the quad’s live rear axle.
