Electric.
SNØRRE Microcar.
Europe´s first „Fairecar“.
When mobility takes a stand
Simply switching from large combustion engines to large electric cars is not enough.
The transport revolution needs smaller, smarter vehicles – and a new symbol for conscious mobility.
Our strategy: to make a microcar socially visible, just as the cargo bike once made sustainability visible.
The SNØRRE is our tool for this – an urban statement that takes a stand.
From there, it spreads widely – that's how trends are created.
And real change becomes possible.
The Mobility Transition
Europe is undergoing a mobility transition.
Combustion engines and heavy electric vehicles are energy madness and not in keeping with the times, especially in an urban context.
More and more people are realising this. Rail travel is increasingly perceived as an important CO₂-reducing alternative to owning a car.
On short journeys, however, many people do not see themselves using public transportation or beeing exposed to the weather on a two-wheeler.
The desire for weather-protected private transport can be fulfilled with electric light vehicles, so-called microcars.
Our SNØRRE is a microcar.
Our SNØRRE Microcar
With the SNØRRE, we are focussing on a timeless design that will not go out of fashion even after decades.
This makes a longer service life likely, an important prerequisite on the way to real sustainability.
We use high-quality, resource-conserving and durable materials that are not affected by the ravages of time, but on the contrary, the patina, the traces of age and use ennoble the vehicle.
We have consistently thought functionality through to the end - from the chassis and interchangeable batteries to the convertible body - everything is simply and clearly structured and designed for decades of use.
Reduction to the essentials and the modular design simplify repairs and enable easy adaptation to advances in technology, such as new drive or energy storage systems.
Safety is not neglected either. Every SNØRRE is equipped with an airbag system.
This results in a huge range of possible applications for the SNØRRE.
A sustainable and forward-looking approach for a modern vehicle.
Newly conceived micromobility.

Philosophical and sociological
Why did the cargo bike become a symbol of sustainability – and not just the normal bike?
The answer lies in the community where the trend started: urban educated citizens with an academic background, interested in culture and environmentally conscious. They live in renovated old buildings in neighbourhoods such as Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg, furnish their flats with timeless design classics, shop at Manufaktum, pay attention to sustainability – and above all, they want their lifestyle to be visible.
These kinds of communities exist in every European metropolis.
For them, the cargo bike is perfect: while a normal bicycle remains inconspicuous, the cargo bike makes their actions visible – even when it's not carrying anything.
Everyone immediately recognises that this is someone who has replaced their car and is acting sustainably.
This is precisely why the trend grew out of this milieu and later spread to every small town in Germany. And what about microcars?
So far, they look like shrunken SUVs – invisible in everyday life.
Or they look like a research project from the local technical university.
Previous microcars can never become a symbol because either they cannot be taken seriously – purely from a visual point of view – or their potential is not recognised.
This is exactly where the Snørre comes in. From the outset, we designed it to trigger the same mechanism as a cargo bike: eye-catching, timeless, unmistakable. A piece of vintage, a piece of timeless design classic – and above all: a statement that makes it clear that someone is consciously living differently.
The cargo bike could only become a symbol within this community. Conventional microcars could never do that. We designed the Snørre precisely to spark interest in the same community – and thus follow the same path to success. Obsolescence
Example: a desk lamp . It still works perfectly well and provides light – but if it looks like a short-lived trend design, it will eventually end up in the basement or straight in the bin. No one wants to keep it or repair it. This is ‘perceived obsolescence’.
A Kaiser lamp is completely different – this timeless design classic made of metal, as found at Manufaktum, for example. Even if the shade is dented or the cable becomes brittle after a long period of use, you want to keep it. You replace the cable, repaint the shade and put it back on your desk – because it's worth it.
Only a timeless design results in true sustainability.
We designed the Snørre based on precisely this principle. It's not just meant to be ridden, it's meant to be loved. Its design is deliberately timeless, subtly inspired by classics that are still considered beautiful even after decades.
The result? Anyone who owns a Snørre doesn't have a disposable product, but a vehicle that you maintain, repair and keep for a long time – maybe even pass on.
Other vehicles age with their look. The Snørre remains desirable because it never belonged to a fashion – and that's exactly why you'll want to keep it.

“True sustainability is directly related to longevity
and useful life of a technical product. A long product lifespan
is initially dependent on high-quality materials/manufacturing and a
high ease of repair.
However, these efforts are futile if the product design is not up to par,
can't withstand devaluation through fast-moving fashion trends.
If the design is purely contemporary oriented, the product will be
worthless within a few years - despite the best functionality.
Only a timeless design ensures a long product life
even possible.
A timeless design is the key to true sustainability.”
