However, one dictionary definition states simply that a microcar is "a small fuel-efficient automobile". [ 4 ] An attempt at a more specific definition for microcars suggested by some enthusiasts is "economy vehicles with either three or four wheels, powered by petrol engines of no more than 700 cc or battery electric propulsion, and ...
Cars were exported to other countries, [10] sometimes being classified as a moped (e.g. the P50 that went to Finland). [11] In the Netherlands there are two original Peel Tridents registered as tricycles , but the Trident replica with the 50cc engine and 59 km/h (37 mph) top speed was registered as a moped.

The mean effective pressure (MEP) is a useful comparison tool, giving the average cylinder pressure exerted on the piston. Petrol engine ( naturally aspirated ) – MEP 1.67 MPa (16.7 bar), 132.6 N⋅m (98 lbf⋅ft) per litre – 2019 BAC Mono R 330 N⋅m (243 lbf⋅ft)
The smallest of all are used in handheld garden machinery, such as string trimmers and chainsaws, which have a displacement as small as 24 cc (1.5 cu in). [2] Production cost is often a key consideration for small engines, resulting in relatively simple designs (compared with automotive engines, for example).
