01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Mole Urbana is a modern marvel in Italian automotive design, representing a bold leap into the world of electric mobility. Despite its nostalgic name, which evokes the elegance of a 19th-century carriage, the Mole Urbana is a cutting-edge, 100% Made in Italy electric vehicle. Designed by Umberto Palermo’s Up Design company, this distinctive electric quadricycle is assembled by Pretto di Pontedera. The Mole Urbana combines retro charm with contemporary technology. Its design features round headlights and exposed luggage belts, lending it a unique aesthetic that sets it apart from typical electric vehicles. This charming quadricycle offers an impressive range, with an autonomy of between 75 and 150 kilometers, making it a practical choice for urban commuting and short trips. Production of the Mole Urbana is planned to be gradual and exclusive. The production numbers were set with a clear trajectory: 50 units were planned for 2020, followed by 150 in 2021, 200 in 2022, and 300 for 2023. This careful scaling reflects the demand and the company’s strategy to maintain a sense of exclusivity and control over quality. Interestingly, the Mole Urbana is not available for purchase outright. Instead, it is offered exclusively for rent, with a monthly fee structure. This unique approach aligns with modern trends in mobility and sustainability, providing an alternative to traditional car ownership and offering users a chance to enjoy this stylish electric vehicle without a long-term commitment. The Mole Urbana stands as a testament to Italian ingenuity and design prowess, merging historical inspiration with forward-thinking technology. Its distinctive looks and electric powertrain make it an intriguing option for those seeking an eco-friendly yet stylish mode of transportation.
