Mole Urbana, designer Umberto Palermo's 100% electric quadricycle, is carrying out its first road tests.
The pop car, suitably disguised, was spotted in Turin.
After the debut, which took place on 2 July at the National Automobile Museum in Turin, the prototype, in the 2-seater Small version, will be at the Milano-Monza Motorshow, scheduled from 29 October to 1 November.

In addition to the 2-seater Small Mole Urbana, it will be accompanied by the LaCorriera 4-seater version, a Pick-up version and a work delivery version, all models of which the shapes are not yet revealed.
However, the measures are known.
The quadricycle is not a microcar, but has "the characteristics to meet the needs of a constantly changing urban mobility": 2.68 meters in length for the Small version (able to accommodate 2 passengers and 3 trolleys on board) and 3 , 60 meters in length for the LaCorriera versions (up to 4 trolley), 2 Pick-Up seats and for the Work version.
Both the Pick-up and the Work model will be able to carry up to a maximum of 700 kilos.
The entire range of heavy quadricycles will have a range of 80 to 150 km for a speed (from homologation) of up to 90 km / h, in some cases limited to 50 km / h.
All the future developments of the project will be gradually told: a series of videos will show the next steps, up to the presentation of the entire range of prototypes by the end of the year.
From January 2021, the design phase will begin which will define the homologation process necessary for the start of production.
