Step aside, traditional car enthusiasts, because this microcar is turning heads and defying convention. The creator behind the “Meanwhile in the Garage” YouTube channel is taking on an ambitious challenge: to build the world’s smallest electric car with a level of innovation that’s hard to ignore. This pint-sized wonder is smaller than a bicycle yet packs a punch with a 3000W electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, proving that size doesn’t always determine capability.

The idea? To create a vehicle that breaks free from the constraints of traditional cars and redefines how we think about urban transportation. Imagine a vehicle compact enough to maneuver through tight spaces, fit into elevators, or roll through shopping malls. Sounds impossible? Think again. This microcar is no mere proof of concept; it’s a fully functional ride that pushes design, engineering, and practicality boundaries.
Is this the smallest EV ever to hit the road?
The build itself is a testament to DIY ingenuity. Starting with a modified go-kart frame, the creator crafted a futuristic enclosed cabin with a transparent canopy that elevates its sleek and minimalist design. This isn’t just about aesthetics, though. The electric drivetrain delivers silent performance, instant torque, and sufficient range for daily use, redefining urban mobility.
But the appeal doesn’t stop at the design. It dives deeper into questions we’re all asking today. Do we need oversized cars when something this small can fulfill your everyday needs? Can micro-mobility concepts like this help crack the code for sustainable city living? These aren’t just theoretical musings. The creator tackles these topics head-on while walking viewers through the entire build process in their latest video. From technical insights to the sheer joy of test drives, it’s a thrilling exploration of what’s possible when engineering meets artistry.
