I am not really into cars, a car is a car but I love this vlog, I love the tiny, unique, electric and quirky cars. In fact I love the whole vlog. Thanks
Thanks. Glad it had crossover appeal!
The Microlino looks fun. We are biased as we have a Twizy on our farm. It is always covered in mud. Brilliant transport instead of using a petrol quad, and quiet 😀
I really appreciate the electric microcar coverage, and was so happy when you said in in your intro, "not large SUVs!"
I love microcars!
The Rolls Royce in the window you saw was on what’s called a trickle charger, it just keeps the battery from dying👍🏻
Ps. That “Ferrari” that gave you way was a Porsche Taycan which is very much electric ⚡️
Would love to see these in the UK. Perfect for Bristol’s congested centre!
Fab, they’ve got so much character those little cars..👍
they do it’s why I love microcars
I reckon the most interesting of all those is the Microlino, looks great fun. I remember the original BMW Isetta Bubble Car in the 60’s. An amazing reinterpretation of that original car for modern times.
I think you are right design wise though the Ami is a one off in its way too
It's brilliant that you both have a sunny mid-week special. Love the Microlino & can just see you in one, but I guess that would ruin your vlog's name. They are expensive, though. The Silence car looks really cool, too.
Yes we do love them but they are quite expensive, even the sans permis version
What a surprise on wednesday ! 🎉
The black Porsche Taycan was stunning…we can dream
another interesting video as always.
it was just great to see THIS Monaco :)
Yes makes a change
Hello,
The black Ferrari that you saw at the beginning of this video was in fact a Porsche. Although it fell into the supercar category, it is ironically, also 100% electric.
Indeed it must have known we were filming!
Yeah loving the Microlina, reminds me of a modern Isetta bubble car. My neighbour had one when I was a kid, just loved it. Cheers guys makes a change from super cars in Monaco.
Yes they look great
The electric superbike is one of the coolest ever to be produced. Surprised to see so.many microcars in Monaco, marques that I've never heard of. Makes alot of sense in Monaco where the population density is about 10000 per square km. Loved the race between the microlina and the Ferrari! Priceless. Great video as always. 😅
Thanks. That bike looks to be quite something!
Nice surprise to get a mid-week video and lovely to see round Monaco, as well as all the various electric cars - love the 'smiley face' Microlina!
A little comment on the sound (sorry) - we've noticed on recent videos that Mr Boo's microphone is difficult to hear at times, puts the lip reading to the test!
Thanks. There’s a weird thing randomly happens to a very small number of viewers which oddly disappears if you watch again or watch on another device. It’s very annoying but we’re fairly sure it’s not us.
Oooh, another mid week video - we’re not worthy 😘
Thanks for this sightseeing tour, makes you want to more (googlenglish, sry). Sure there are also a mass of big elec. cars in Monaco sneaking around, but only small little cars are giving a smile on ones face.
That’s the thing that drew me to the Ami it makes you smile!
Monaco is certainly a place of, um, contradictions ? Great to see all the electrified stuff going on. I do like that Microlino, I saw the glowing review on YT's Fully Charged Show, it's a great little EV. Thanks for the tour !
Cheers, Dave in Wales
Thanks Dave. Indeed it is!
That really IS a surprise. I would have never guessed that Monaco would be have SO much electric transport! I do believe the Birò and Silence are both from the Netherlands and the superbike (SO cool) from Estonia? Honestly, I like the look of a Ferrari, but I would rather have the Microlino. That is SUCH a cool little thing!
I’d love to know the stats but there are a lot of electric vehicles there now
@@MeandMonAmiIt still is a puzzling place to me 😅 And yet another one on the list to visit.......
❤ loving your videos. They are giving me more inspiration to pack up and start living abroad. I'm into.design so the car content is brilliant. Keep up the great work guys ❤
Thanks Very much
The short, random strolls are fun, and it was interesting to catch a better glimpse of the Rough-Cut Diamond Life in Monaco. I'm very much looking forward to seeing a segment on your driving school and having you do some test-drives and rental reviews on other EV's would be Magnifico!
I see Microlino has test drives, As it's a bit more than a Quadacycle do you need a Driver's License to drive it in Monaco?
'Book a Test Drive | Microlino'
You can book a test drive with the Microlino on several locations. On top we are organizing test events where you can experience the Microlino and have a chat with like-minded people. ... MICROLINO MONACO by CLG MOTORS. 9 Rue des Açores, 98000 Monaco. Monaco.
Thanks Jack. Yes I need a licence although the microlino air or lite or whatever its called is sans permis!
Loved this video lads being a car lover, went to Monaco a few years ago and took some photos of the police Twizzys before having a drink outside the Cafe de Paris which wasn't cheap but loved sitting there watching all the super cars come & go. Would love to go there again didn't realise all the buses and police vehicles were now electric.
merci pour cette vidéo super sympa et très instructive
Thoroughly enjoyed it guys thank you!! 👌 never thought there were so many in Monaco, cannot top Elvis though!!! 😄
It’s surprising!
Another excellent video guys !
Sweet Monaco. We love staying atop in the hills of Eze. Our go to for part of our Cote d'Azur stays over the last 8 years has been at Les Terrasses d'Eze, hanging over the edge on Rte de la Turbie (so wicked at night).
Lovely!
Loved it! 🤩 I would sooo very much enjoy a comparison between the Ami, Topolino, and Rocks-e by you guys since you do amazing points of view!!
For those who appreciate accuracy in language, can we agree that the police force isn’t “fully electrocuted” (5:44); what you mean here & earlier ( 3:31) is surely “electrified”?
Maybe we weren’t being entirely serious at those points?!
Ironic humour ... he knows exactly what he's saying ... and so will most people watching this.
Wowza!!
This was a great episode. Every once in awhile, your audience needs educating.
Thanks
Mister Me and Mister Boo and Elton and Twiggy 🐶🐕❤ makes a welcome change than seeing big 'driveway ornaments' 😮😂plenty small vehicles around perfect for Monaco 🇲🇨 here in UK it's who can have the biggest car parked outside the gym or school gates 😂😂😂 stay well and obviously stay charged 🎉
Great video . My electric boardman hybrid cycle 8.9 e ,has that battery in the down tube , does about 40 miles on one charge . The battery is removable. The topolino look great ,like the old bubble cars but cleaner .
Consider getting a cool artsy wrap for your car. That's a couple of episodes right there.
Probably a dozen if we try and fit it !
refreshing -- bored with hypercars // good one ...
Thanks
You guys bring a smile whenever I watch your videos...love them. On rounds in Monaco have you ever seen Dame Shirley?
Never thought Mr Boo saw her in Nice Airport once
I've wanted a Twizy for years but in Britain it would have to be in addition to a "normal" car. Watching the advert for the Microlino might have to change my mind if the guy comes with it! Thank you for such a fabulous channel.
I’m sure he’s a free add on!
Really enjoyed this. I always watch the supercars in Monaco and hoping to go in the summer, so I found this video very informative and interesting.
Thanks Sean. Drive the coast road between villefranche and Monaco or bus it and you will see lots
Thanks and I’ll try to blog it if I could 😊
So the microlino is the bubble car? Who’d have thought that design would have come back 😮
Yup clever reboot!
Love the video! The Microlino is a great innovation. Id buy one.
It’s very well don i think
The next video will be spot the Mega Multitruck or Aixam D Truck out in the arrière pays! Great video and good to see sans permis in the unlikeliest of places. BTW I don't like super cars, give me a Dacia any day... 😊
Indeed I love those little Aixam vans we have one in the village
@@MeandMonAmi Around 13,000€ brand new. 😬
Very Cool 😎 Video- Love that futuristic Super Bike can’t figure out what’s keeping the hub less rear wheel attached 🤔
I never thought of that!
Nice, all those electric cars. My Dacia Spring in the same green color as mine was also there. This car is highly recommended, a lot of car for a relatively low price!
Yes it looks good and I see more and more of them
To film through windows; you should try a linear polarized filter.
Reflections are often polarized in one direction, if you rotate the filter 90° angle to the reflections, you can sometimes remove most or all reflections. You just manually rotate the filter, and you'll quickly see where you get more and less reflections.
It’s got one on! We usually use the 360 on the roof but monaco can be funny about filming..
Would be so cool if you were to review the Dacia Spring!
Tim what do you think of the new electric Renault 5? I quite like it.
It was Great to see so many Small Electric Cars. The only problem was I never saw you both eating. Ha!Ha!Ha!
🧸🧸🚙
No money left after Paris!
@@MeandMonAmi I can believe that. Ha!Ha!Ha!
Liked your flow about EV's, sad thou that haven't spot a Carver (Dutch made).
The Honda e.Ny1 you saw has become hard to sell at £/€45k, last month they are on “special” at £28k!! You can get one for £179 a month, no deposit!! So cheap…. I bought 2!! I’ll give them back at the end of 2 years, I imagine they’ll be worth around £20k. And incidentally, it’s a Honda made in Wuhan, China not Japan. The Dacia will arrive here in October, £15k for short range model.
£15k not too bad
That was fun. They're not electric but I recently came across some videos of the American car company Crosley which made subcompact cars from about 1939 to 1952. They were cute as a button but not what the post-war generation of Americans wanted, namely gigantic behemoths with oceans of chrome. I wonder if Microlino can make a replica of the BMW Isetta, whether anyone would bring the Crosleys back in an electric version.
Thanks. I shall look them up…
Problem with the chargers per person thing is that installing ten chargers in Monaco makes a much bigger difference than installing ten in the UK or London as you say. I would think that in a place where space is massively at a premium like Monaco, small micro cars and bikes are going to be really popular for use. Although if you've enough monty not to worry about it, got to show off somehow.
What about the XEV yo-yo? Would love to see you review it.
Tim whats your thoughts on the new Renault 5 Electric? A lovely retro look from our childhoods. I saw a preview for it and thought it would suit you 2 guys. 🚗
yes I think it looks nice!
i wonder is their like a Semi Micro Car where its like 1 seat in middle and like extra space around you and like enough space behind for a second seat or or a good spacious trunk
Sounds like the DooGood Chinese micro car!
Really interesting video. Lots of electric vehicles to choose from, although I still prefer Elton ❤
Yes if they’d just give us the microlino trod I’d be happy!
@@MeandMonAmi you’ll make Elton jealous, besides you only want it for the 230 litre boot space 🤣 think about how much you could fit in, especially when you go shopping over the border
Good luck on your quest for a legit license. Twiggy will feel mush safer.
Great video, did you see a Honda e ?
Not yet!
It's a shame, that those Microlino car's are so expensive... Yes, the Biro is Italian! But I don't know.... It somehow looks like an immobility car... Go for the 'fast' Microlino when you get your drivers licence! I very much liked this one, guy's! Keep it up! ❤
The price is ridiculous. I get it is a city car but for a few grand extra you can get an MG4 compared to their top model
I've yet to see a Microlino, but have the original BMW version it's styled on.
Picked up on the Historic GP comment, are you planning on filming an episode for the event?
It’s possible but we sometimes find that showing events after they have happened isn’t very popular. People tend to watch things they might themselves do rather than things they have missed.
Your challenge Tim is to convince Rolls Royce to allow you to test drive the brand new all electric Rolls Royce Spectre!!!! You have until we get back in may…I will play the part of your valet! I have watched Downton enough to get away with it!!!
Now that’s a video!
I would love to own a micro-lino here in the states❤❤
They are very cute!
I saw a Bentley Convertible today on my drive from Swindon back to Cornwall. Never go to Swindon, it's horrible.
Top up or down?
@@MeandMonAmi Very up, I mean if you left it down in Swindon someone would probably puke in it.🤮
Considering how far your little car will go on 1kWh of electricity, and also considering a 400 watt solar panel only costs £180, I’m amazed Citroen doesn’t put solar on the Ami
Some airport amis use solar for peripherals but the impact on the main traction battery would be limited even in sunny climes
Electric Abarth in Australia cost over AUD $60K. Absolutely ridiculous
That’s very steep
Whats the nissan sakura cost there?
There is indeed a vast market for this type of micro-electric vehicles in Europe. The fact that cities are congested with their narrow streets makes the use of this type of vehicle desirable, Monaco is an example of this, with a very high population density and limited space.
In any case, it's always a treat to see all those supercars. It's an immense contrast between small-sized vehicles and others that are almost absurd in size and power.
The detail of the kitchen roll behind you is charming lol
Keep ya eyes open for the new Renault 5 electric car 😎👌🏽
Will do
Id have one of those Microlino's send me one!
Out of curiosity what will be the next car you and mr boo will purchase?😊
Not a clue TBH!
Was that Fewawi a Pawsh?
Apparently!
It wasn't a Ferrari. I was a Electric Porsche Taycan. 100% Electric. Ping👍.
Wowzer. The one coming down the hill as we went into the car park?
@@MeandMonAmi that’s the one. Monaco runneraround.
Don’t trip over the charging cables ! Assuming there’s no Pikey’s in Monaco 🇲🇨
Only us!
An electric bike that 0 to 100 in 3.5 seconds, hmmmm, knowing my luck, if I tried that I'd be left standing on the road with my legs apart while the bike was still shooting up the street!
Indeed it sounds a bit swift for me
For chargers I bet London is 10x better off than the rest of the UK.
Probably true
🙂🇸🇪🇸🇪👋👋🚗🚗
The Microlino is a great looking quirky little EV but it's way over priced to be any kind of mainstream success, even more so when the Dacia Spring is cheaper and more practical.
How you you afford to live in Nice. Have you done a cost of living video?.
Yes
I love the concept of microcars. They make so much sense for urban commute.
I very much enjoy your adventures, but I believe you are stretching the usability of a 45 km/h microcar to the max and beyond.
I think that your adventures put a huge dent in the argument of EV haters, who claim that anything less than 1000 km of range is useless. While you repeatedly probe that even 75 km is quite usable.
To me Microlino is awfull, i like biró and i tried it but i was not very impressed a part the shape that i love, i very like the renault twingo but i am buying an hybrid panda just to pay less and have more.
I think the microlino is cute to look at
Is there actually buses and other public transport in Monaco? I wouldn't imagine that there is anyone poor enough in Monaco to have less than 5 cars. Is there any sort of poor areas in Monaco? There's not much space for that I guess. The people serving the rich all live somewhere else I'm sure
there’s a bus service and it comes to Villefranche etc. There are actual monagasques too who live in Monaco
Yes.. they talk about and go past the electric bus in the first 5 minutes. Great for tourist. Ive used it.
Every society needs those who 'do' and those who 'don't', how do you think the toilets get cleaned 😏😉
Monaco has six regular city bus lines going around the place. The most useful are the two that climb up to Monaco Ville where the Prince's palace is. There is also the French 100 bus passing through Monaco on its way along the coast from Menton to Nice. And a very useful 110 direct bus to Nice Airport. So, yes, people in Monaco have, use and enjoy public transport.
Who would thought.?
Messerschmitts over Monaco.! ...who said Klaus Schwab wasn't airworthy ? Rofl
Lol at comparing Monaco and electric buggies/chargers to London, that's like comparing apples to oranges. When we drove to Italy from France via Monaco it took us about 20 minutes to drive through the principality. Takes a lot longer than that to drive right the way through Greater London. Those little cars remind me of the old bubble cars that were around when I was a kid.
Monaco is the ideal place for those mini EV's since it's a small area self-contained place and it is a sensible option for the locals. Wouldn't work elsewhere, if they were in London for example they would be a magnet for the low life joyriders.
I think micro cars are the future for most cities. Nice is full of them too.
Anyone owns a FOMM there?
Not seen one yet!
In a decarbonized world, people will die of hunger! Carbon-Dioxide is life! Even the IPCC has agreed that man´s influence on the climate is virtually non existant and that CO2 maintains a fairlyx stable level.
And of course the earth is flat.
Sorry lads battery cars are loosing so much money in GB no one wants them, there’s no charging points in fact Porche won’t take the Tycan as a deposit
Ours is worth more than we paid for it two years ago!
Loads of charging points, sales of electric cars are increasing year on year, up 18% in 2023 . There are over a million fully electric and 686,000 plug in hybrids as of February this year
I took microlino for a test drive and it was a dissapointment. Ami is more tough and behaves much better on the streets and over bumps, while the microlino is trembling all over bumps and uneven streets. It is just for show off, overpriced at 3 times the price of Ami…
Interesting. I’d like to test it
I guess the Microlino has smaller wheels and a stiffer body than the Ami. It has the looks but I expect the Silence S04 has more functionality and practicality.
