Microlino test freniIn recent times there has been some confusion about the involvement or not of Iso Rivolta in the Microlino project. Together, it was decided to clarify the relationship between the two brands, in order to avoid confusion.

Although Microlino was inspired by the old bubble cars of the ’50s, there is no relationship between Microlino and Iso Rivolta or other manufacturers of bubble cars of the’ 50s such as Heinkel, Zündapp and others.

The Microlino was designed as a new product with no connection to the Isetta or any other bubble car.

Of course, they have great respect for Iso Rivolta, as they designed the Isetta in 1952, which was then built under license by BMW for the German market.
