🚗 Behind the wheel: microcar, car & motorcycle
Behind the wheel: microcar, car or motorcycle. With you, not watching you.
Register your vehicle, save your insurance and mechanic info, and if you break down you get step-by-step help. For microcars, there's also a route that avoids highways and expressways.
A microcar at fifteen is the first taste of real freedom. And the first scare for parents. Mi Estela is built so both things can coexist: you drive, you mark your firsts (alone, at night, in the rain, your first trip out of town) and your people celebrate with you. It's not parental control: nobody gets anything you don't share.
The microcar (light quadricycle L6e) tops out at 45 km/h and can't use highways or expressways: Estela's route takes that into account. And the same features work for your first car or your motorcycle: vehicle registration, emergency contacts, "something's wrong" when you get a flat, and the SOS that guides you while help is on the way.
All of this already works
What Estela does for you behind the wheel
Safety is free. Always. Going out, arriving, letting people know, and asking for help will never cost a thing. There's nothing paid here yet: it's all yours.
Your vehicle
Register your microcar, car or motorcycle with its details, insurance, mechanic and contacts. Edit anytime.
My first freedom
Your firsts behind the wheel: alone, at night, in the rain, your first trip out of town. You mark them and your people celebrate with you. It's not parental control: nobody gets anything you don't share.
Something's wrong
Flat tire, dead battery, out of fuel. Send your location to your people without triggering a rescue or making a big deal out of it.
Where did I park?
One tap when you get out and I'll walk you back. It's saved on your phone—we don't upload it anywhere.
Microcar route
A route designed for the microcar that avoids roads it can't use. Estela knows the ones banned by national law; local regulations are still being learned with your help, so keep an eye on the signs too.
I need help
An SOS that alerts your people with what's happening and where you are, and guides you step by step while help is on the way.
Charge nearby
If your vehicle is electric, the charging points around your area.
The shared pot
Who paid for what, no arguing later. Log it in three taps and Estela tells you who owes what to whom. Not a single euro goes through here.
The Pact
A mutual safety agreement, out in the open. Nothing behind anyone's back: you both see exactly the same thing.
Your people, at ease
They know you left and they know you arrived. With you, not watching you.
112 and the guide
The emergency number one tap away, plus what to do if something happens on the road.
Guidance, not legal advice
The microcar, country by country
The light quadricycle is legal across the European Union (45 km/h, highways and expressways prohibited). What changes is the minimum age. These are the ages Mi Estela has verified from an official source in each country; if it's not confirmed, the app won't show it.

We answer your questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this a parental control app for microcars?
No. It's symmetrical: the safety Pact is visible to both of you equally, nothing is hidden. You mark your firsts and your parents know you left and arrived. Whatever you don't share, nobody gets.
Does the microcar route really avoid highways?
Yes: Estela knows the roads banned by national law and calculates a route designed for 45 km/h. Local regulations are still being learned, so keep an eye on the signs too.
What do I do if I break down?
"Something's wrong" sends your location to your people without triggering a rescue or making a big deal (flat tire, dead battery, out of fuel). If it's serious, the SOS alerts your people with your location and guides you step by step while help is on the way, with 112 one tap away. Mi Estela does not replace emergency services.
Does it work for cars and motorcycles too, not just microcars?
Yes. Vehicle registration, emergency contacts, the emergency guide, and SOS all work for microcars, cars, and motorcycles. The highway-free route is microcar-only.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Everything Estela does behind the wheel is free.
