Prefer two wheels to four?
Nah, I don’t mean a Harley. We’re talking to you, Vespa and Lime scooter folks.
Fiat is banking on you — and Gen Zers looking for a new ride — with its new Topolino. The tiny electric vehicle is 8.3 feet long and reaches just 28 mph. Check out the unveiling vid.
Fiat = Fix it again, Tony!
Because it’s so tiny and technically a quadricycle (like a bicycle, but with four wheels!), people as young as 14 can drive it in Italy. Cars in Europe are typically much smaller than the big honkers (see what I did there?) we drive in the U.S.
Here are the numbers: The average car in the U.S. is 14.7 feet long. The Ford F-150 is almost 21 feet. The Toyota Tundra and Dodge Ram 1500 aren’t far behind.
The price of the Fiat Topolino is $10,700. That’s bank! Speaking of … my aunt just got a cool senior citizen scooter. In Walmart, she can do 30 aisles per hour!

This juiced-up pickup can be configured to go 300 miles on a charge and tow 10,000 pounds. It starts at just under $40,000. Tap or click here for more details on the electric F-150.
