Brilliant concept but really needs a top speed at least 10 mph higher unless you are ok with being the front of a very angry queue on every main road .
That's because Citroën wanted the Ami to be a quadricycle (AM license) from the ground up, so more people (especially older people and young children in France) could drive the Ami. And due to the restricted European laws, this kind of vehicle isn't legally allowed to travel with speeds greater than 45 km/h.
@@stefan25769 Increasing the top speed above 45kmph would just move it to the heavy quadricycle class of L7e. This would be a lot more attractive to me. In France the 45kmph limit is associated with their “voitures sans permis” market, which is not relevant in the UK.
9k for that?!?! My family bought an Impala 2015 LTZ for that price and i got a license to drive it (I'm 16 yo) Looks interesting to drive and practical but too expensive for what it is
Sorry, but this is a mediocre option. There are plenty real cars of similar dimentions. This one is a motorised office chair, which has it's benefits of course, but i wouldn't call it "best"
Imagine looking outside just to witness an Ami doing circles again and again, then the guy inside stepping out of it and miming how to plug the car... I would pee myself from laughter tbh :'))
This car would work really well in crowded cities like london or something i believe, also it'd probably fit pretty well in wales right now given the new 20mph speed limit stuff
@@sirspectre3485 It's plastic and so are our shovels and replacement hockeystick blades, toboggans, miniskiis ice scrapers, it would survive in the snow. If it didn't, then they could simply add some extra plastic to it or use a different type of plastic. I want to see one with some more winter grade offroad type tires being demonstrated beside a factory OEM setup.
I think it look good and practical, it not made to be a road car but a short range transportation, and for me that want to take it slow and look around, that would be a perfect moped-car for me. Thank you for showing.
Not altogether sure you could keep this thing on the road at 60mph and above. Have you seen him constantly making corrections with the steering wheel even while driving on the straight parts of the road?
It was like I could imagine driving myself (which I never did) and I got already the anxiety of not really knowing the width of the car. One normally has never to face that problem as biker but here once could be forced to pass between a line parked cars and a car coming with little space left. This could be trained with boxes somewhere I guess.
I live in Chippenham Wiltshire I could only travel within Chippenham which is 2 miles across would hold up traffic going to next nearest market town, would need at least 50mph to get outside Chippenham, shame as the good thing is the price.
It's probably good for overpopulated cities or countries like India and China. I'd assume that most people would buy it so tourists or migrants can rent them for a short period of time because I don't see this car practical for the long term. I like the concept, I think it has potential.
My 16yo son thanks the French people every single day! Ps: Your people said the same about the Renault 4L (models even refused to take pictures with it) and the 2CV. So, it a very good sign!
@@AutoPOVDrive yeah it could be fun and i like the moden style of it, and i think they will release a car with the same aesthetic and for cheap, it's the citroen oli 400km for 8500$
Supposedly they offer them to rent for 20 quid per month? You can't rent a bicycle for 20 quid! Edit: My bad, I got clickbaited. It will be around 70 pounds per month with 4 year rental agreement.
@Esh Oh it definetly might be cheaper than that. I think it really has a potential. Also if I take my favorite car to city I'm always stressed that someone will scratch it or hit it. With this one I would be as relaxed as water because financial implications are two orders of magnitude smaller

Needs 3 hours to charge (43 mile range total) and over $7,000 for the car prob closer to 8-9k after all fees, maybe if it was closer to 4-5k total it would be a cool little city delivery car but not practical for anything else.
i noticed the lithuanian numbers and know that ur are from lithuania and i thinked that this car is only in in other countries but now i know it is in my country but i dont think its worth buying because of the speed lol
Its well known that putting flame stickers or paint on your car automatically makes your car faster. The same can be said if it is in red or has a spoiler! Just going 50kph will make you feel like you are going the speed of sound! 😂😂
Major cities should ban conventual cars from congested places and just allow vehicles of this size.Then allow only right angle parking doubling the number of parks

It’s not a car, it’s a quadricycle. Hence why 14 year olds in France can drive it without a licence.
@ Glen smith it’s a car not a qadricycle
@@louisbeerreviews8964 It depends on the country. In spain ITS a quadricycle.

This seems like the best option in a very crowded city, won't work in every country but I'd definitely buy one.
In city scooters, on roads real cars, not this Scalextrix Toy.
Too expensive, I found an Impala 2015 LTZ for the same price in mint condition
@Filippo Cusini True! Plus you are prettu much unaffected by weather conditions so that's a plus in comparizon to a scooter

Citroen: WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT?
I mean for people who just need a car to drive through the city this is actually the exact themed car...
This car is magic! I took away the 45km per hour and i can now drive everywhere without problem, at 60-70 km per hour👍
You unrestricted this tiny quadricycle? Sounds like a death trap to me.
@@DoktrDub Probably LS swapped it lmao
@@DoktrDubsome people want it faster and they have a license for it + he prob knows that he has to be careful bc of the increased top speed and power

Jokes aside, looks like they are making faster AMI for adults, it's called Citroen OLI

The main problem I have with Ami Videos is, you never see anyone driving at night. I have no idea what that would be like.
I've seen one , it's just fine, the lights were bright enough, everything seemed ok
Magnificent
If I lived and only drove in Central London, I would buy an Ami straight away
cute french little mouse..........and QUALITY VIDEO..........THANKS FOR THAT BRO.
You're welcome
You know what would be cool? If the vehicle could go 60mph but the parent/adult had the ability to set the speed cap at something like 25 or 40.
That'd be awesome.

Is this classed as a Voiture sans permis? It reminds me of a Zundapp Janus, looks exactly the same from the front as it does from the back.
yes light quadricycle= doest need a driving license, only the same basic permit as with 50cc scooters
It is yes

Citroen could take a traditional 2cv and convert it to an electric beauty. You will get the ride, the economy and the looks.
Basically a golf cart. Probably useful in little European cities.

I guess it is quite practical despite the fact that it is not fast enough.
European laws. Is for a type of drive licence can't allow you to go faster than 45 km/h
Pretty cool tbh. Probably pretty good for big cities with narrow streets, like Tokyo.
it is actually quite small you can park it sideways on a parallel parking
This is something I wouldn’t be surprised seeing in Japan, especially Tokyo, they got the weirdest stuff going around
I loved the steering wheel styling ❤️❤️
Super ce joué 👍❤
They need to make a version with a quad license. It would then have a top speed of 85. Would be perfect and I would definitely buy one then;
And EU laws should allow these to hit 50kph, which is the speed limit in pretty much every city. Why 45??

@@dustojnikhummer Pedal bike speed limit is 45km/h unless otherwise signposted.
