In one of his most ambitious and imaginative creations yet, Meanwhile in the Garage takes the world of micro-mobility to the next level by building what might just be the smallest electric car in the world entirely from scratch. <br /><br />What starts as a go-kart frame evolves into a fully enclosed, street-style microcar, complete with a custom-built transparent canopy, high-performance drivetrain, and futuristic aesthetics that blur the line between engineering and art. <br /><br />The centerpiece of the project is undoubtedly the aerodynamic canopy, which draws direct inspiration from the builder’s previous venture: the rainproof Yamaha YZF1000 R1 motorcycle. In that earlier project, Meanwhile in the Garage crafted a full cockpit enclosure from wire mesh, foam, and vacuum-formed polycarbonate, a groundbreaking modification that protected the rider from the elements while improving airflow. That same ingenuity is now applied at a new scale. The car’s dome follows the same eye-catching process.<br /><br />But this time, the innovation goes further. Hinges and mirror-mounted lighting systems complete the transformation, resulting in a compact vehicle that’s as functional as it is visually striking. <br /><br />Powered by a clean, silent electric motor, this microcar delivers instant torque, agile handling, and urban-ready performance all while turning heads and raising questions about the future of sustainable, custom mobility.
