MICRO<br />
COOPERATIONS<br />
PEUGEOT<br />
At the 2016 Paris Motor Show, which<br />
showcases the latest automobiles,<br />
it was our two-wheeler that was<br />
the centre of attraction. The Peugeot<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> e-Kick, a hybrid scooter that can<br />
accelerate up to 25 km/h, was presented<br />
together with Peugeot‘s new 3008 SUV and<br />
attracted many visitors. The hybrid kick is<br />
the result of a collaboration between the<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> inventor Wim Ouboter and the French<br />
car manufacturer Peugeot. With the integration<br />
of a special stowage place for the<br />
scooter in the boot of the 3008, Peugeot<br />
and <strong>Micro</strong> are pursuing a joint strategy for<br />
Peugeot 3008<br />
urban mobility. The 3008 has a Dockstation<br />
with a Bluetooth connection to the My<br />
Peugeot app; the app provides information<br />
about the Scooter, such as battery charge,<br />
average speed, and total distance travelled<br />
and can be seen on the car display and on<br />
mobile phones.<br />
The two lifestyle products form a clean and<br />
very elegant union in their design. This seemed<br />
to capture French President and well-known<br />
scooter fan François Holland’s fancy when<br />
he was the very first to get a look at the world<br />
premier at the motor show 2016.<br />
SUITSUPPLY<br />
SUIT UP AND RACE OFF ! DUTCH MENSWEAR LABEL MEETS<br />
SWISS KICKBOARD PIONEER<br />
This pretty much sums up the cooperation<br />
between kickboard-maker <strong>Micro</strong><br />
and the successful Dutch fashion<br />
label Suitsupply. Their shared passion<br />
for high quality, exclusive design and the<br />
quest for the unconventional has brought the<br />
two success stories together, resulting in a<br />
piece of luggage on wheels of true class. With<br />
their never-tiring pioneering spirit, both companies<br />
have succeeded in standing out from<br />
the crowd on a long-term basis and have positioned<br />
themselves at the top of their markets.<br />
Suitsupply offers tailor-made suits from<br />
Italian fabrics and complements its range<br />
with shirts, coats and other classic men’s<br />
clothing. The brand doesn’t just rely on classy<br />
elegance but also provokes with extraordinary<br />
colours and a bold, nonchalant style.<br />
<strong>Micro</strong> too, favours the unconventional. Several<br />
years ago they invented a unique traveling<br />
gadget : the <strong>Micro</strong> Luggage, which is a hand<br />
luggage-sized cross between suitcase, trolley<br />
and kickboard.<br />
The <strong>Micro</strong> Luggage has been successful for<br />
years and is especially popular for city trips.<br />
The advantage is obvious : At huge airports like<br />
New York or Paris there are such long distances<br />
to be crossed, it’s highly useful if you can turn<br />
your hand luggage into a kickboard within<br />
a few seconds, and get to security before<br />
everyone else. And because the elegant travel<br />
gadget isn’t just practical but also a highlight in<br />
terms of design, it quickly caught the eye of<br />
Fokke De Jong, owner of Suitsupply. The<br />
successful <strong>Micro</strong> product was charged up with<br />
a refreshing touch à la Suitsupply.<br />
The result is called Race Case. With its Italian<br />
calf leather finish, the trolley’s deftly textured<br />
face is sure to make an impression when rolling<br />
up to the check-in counter. The leather grip<br />
handles and the trolley’s ample interior<br />
convince with refined details. But see for<br />
yourself – you can purchase the Race Case<br />
exclusively in the Suitsupply stores and online.<br />
