ÆMotion Unveils Sleek Four-Wheeled Micro EV at Paris Mobility Show

Revolutionizing urban transport with minimalist design and zero emissions

PARIS—In a sun-drenched pavilion at the heart of the City of Light, French startup ÆMotion captivated audiences this week with the debut of its flagship product: a cutting-edge four-wheeled micro electric vehicle (EV) designed to redefine urban mobility. Dubbed the "ÆPod," the compact car merges futuristic aesthetics with eco-friendly engineering, targeting city dwellers tired of congestion and pollution.

Design Meets Functionality
The ÆPod’s standout feature is its minimalist footprint—roughly half the size of a conventional sedan—making it ideal for navigating narrow European streets and squeezing into tight parking spots. Yet despite its petite frame, the vehicle boasts a surprising interior spaciousness, thanks to a cleverly engineered sliding-door system and a single-row cockpit layout. Constructed from recycled aluminum and biodegradable composites, the ÆPod aligns with the EU’s aggressive sustainability targets.

Under the hood, ÆMotion prioritizes efficiency. The micro EV offers a 100 km range on a single charge, with swappable batteries that can be exchanged at designated kiosks in under three minutes. "This isn’t just a car; it’s a statement against urban gridlock," said CEO Léa Dubois during the showcase. "We’re offering freedom without fossil fuels."

Tech-Savvy and Connected
The ÆPod integrates seamlessly with digital lifestyles. Drivers control climate, navigation, and battery status via a companion app, while built-in sensors enable semi-autonomous features like collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control. A solar roof panel trickle-charges the battery during daylight, extending its range—a nod to ÆMotion’s "energy-positive" ethos.

Buzz and Accessibility
Social media lit up after ÆMotion teased the vehicle in action. Their LinkedIn post captured the ÆPod gliding silently through Parisian alleyways, racking up thousands of reactions within hours. For a closer look, the company’s YouTube channel features deep dives into its engineering and test drives.

The Road Ahead
ÆMotion plans to roll out its first 500 units across France and Germany by late 2025, with a price point of €9,900—positioning it as an affordable alternative to e-bikes and scooters for daily commutes. As cities like Paris enact stricter emissions laws, micro EVs could become the new norm. "We’re not just selling a vehicle," Dubois added. "We’re inviting people to join a movement."

With its Parisian debut, ÆMotion has shifted gears from stealth mode to the fast lane—proving that big solutions for crowded cities can come in small, elegant packages.
