In two months, visitors to the Olympic Games in Paris will find a city transformed over the last few years into a cyclist's haven.

“We’re already seeing microcars in congested cities such as London. Feedback has been largely positive,” Lutz adds. “I expect more large companies to adopt commercial fleets of microvehicles to navigate urban environments, partly in response to higher tariffs for larger vehicles.” “The past few years have seen merch become a trending marketing move for companies as unexpected as supermarkets, fast-food chains, and even New York Magazine,” says Dinesh Nayar, Managing Director.
