  • Scotsman Robert Anderson invented electric vehicles.

The smaller things in life are the best - they give a small package of joy that can create memories of a lifetime. Being able to make the world's smallest anything is an achievement. How about the world's smallest EV? We'll be looking at a few models of small EVs (one that cannot carry any passengers and one that can carry passengers). Let us take a look at some specifications of these vehicles and what technologies are used for them.

Smallest EV bike in the world

Bikes are very thrilling and exciting to operate. Santhosh, the man who is responsible for making the world's smallest EV, can be considered a genius. His invention, called "Moosshiqk3," is the world's smallest rideable bike according to him (maybe people who are as small as the bike)!

The height of the bike is 145 mm, and the wheelbase has a length of 130 mm. The motorcycle can fit inside the palm of the hand. If we talk about the technology at play here, then it can be described as an electric motor that is housed between rollerblades. A miniature chain along with a sprocket system is placed in the motorcycle with a V-shaped handlebar that contains the accelerator.

To anyone's dismay, the bike is actually rideable. The bike's creator, Santhosh, claims that it is very difficult to ride the bike, and that is a fact. Since there is no seat to support the rider, the rider has to support the legs on the extension in the middle and squat.

Since the motor is miniaturized, it cannot overcome the friction between the foot and the road even at full throttle. When both the feet are off the ground, the bike starts to move.

Now let us move from a bike to a car that can carry at least one person. 

The smallest car in the world is the Wuling Nano. The 2021 Tianjin International Auto Show saw the introduction of the Wuling. The turning radius of the car is less than 4 meters, and it is able to seat only 2 people at maximum. The total range of the Wuling Nano is just 300km. The battery capacity of the car is 28kWh, and the maximum speed that the EV can go up to is 100kmph. 

Wuling has made such cars before as well. The last time that they released a small electric vehicle was the Wuling Mini EV. That car was successful as well, selling about 1 lakh units since production.

Since this car is an EV, the battery is the main driving force of the vehicle. The battery is lithium-ion, IP67 certified. According to several reports, this car is also the cheapest electric car in the world. It takes 13.5 hours to completely get charged.
