Microcar (brand)

Microcar is a French manufacturer of light vehicles, specifically known for producing voiturettes, also known as "cars without a license" in some European countries. These vehicles are designed to be driven without a full driver's license in certain jurisdictions, often targeting younger drivers (typically 14 or 16 years of age, depending on the country) or individuals who have had their license revoked.

Microcar vehicles typically fall under the classification of light quadricycles. They are limited in terms of engine size (usually diesel engines under 500cc or electric motors), power output (typically under 6 kW), and maximum speed (usually limited to 45 km/h or 28 mph).

The company, currently part of the Ligier Group, has a history of producing a variety of models characterized by their small size, fuel efficiency, and suitability for urban environments. Microcar vehicles are known for their ease of parking and maneuverability in congested areas. The brand competes with other manufacturers in the light quadricycle market, offering a range of models with varying levels of equipment and features. They are primarily sold within Europe.
