  • It doesn't get more unique than this then, some of the worlds smallest cars ever made across a span of almost 60+ years, each with their own pros... followed by a longer list of cons? Lets find out how practical the Peel P50, Sinclair C5, Renault Twizzy F1, and the all new Citreon Ami are in todays world of motoring.
    It was our pleasure supplying the vehicles for Britains Got Talent, and if you'd like to see the video of the cars in action, please visit this link - • Judges RACE to Auditio...

    I liked the amii I saw in a vid that was “beefed up” pretty much with just add-ons (ram bars front &back and roof rack) and a paint job. Problem is here in the states, this is pretty much a glorified golf cart, and those are looked on very unfavorably by law enforcement, motorists (on the road), pedestrians (if it’s cleared to go on bike paths)… the range being 40-45 miles is also a bit limiting, but I think it’s better than an actual golf cart so if you used it with the limitations in mind it should be alright.

    Does the Ami have any kind of battery cooling? Just wondering about battery longevity. Are they likely to degrade within a few years? Or does the lower 48v mean the Ami battery isn't likely to have the same kind of battery longevity problems that higher voltage systems would have without cooling?

    I've been driving smart fortwos since 2008. I used to love road tripping, which made an EV impractical for me. Well, those days are over, I haven't been out of town in years. A small EV would suit me fine now. Not an Ami, though. It'll almost certainly never be available in the USA anyway.

    • @leneanderthalien
      @leneanderthalien 11 місяців тому +1

      Awailability from the AMI in the US depends on the legislation in the USA: in most European countries, is the AMI in the same category as the small 50cc scooter which does not require a license, only very basic training, and does not meet "normal" car crash test standards, but the AMI is far safer than a scooter...

    @Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 Рік тому +2

    The AMI is far from perfect but....
    It is telling you more about why not to buy a Tesla than why to buy an AMI.
    AMI is telling you what could be done for a fair and affordable price.
    Make it in RIGHT HAND DRIVE and de restricted and you've got something
    that will sell like hot cakes.
    There are similar cars being produced in China and they will never see the
    light of day over here, because the government don't want you to have them.
    It is not about safety standards either, you don't need twin disc and ABS to
    halt an orange box.

    It’s more about the cheapest vs the smallest. The cost of these of these you can buy an NCAP tested, airbags, SIPS and ABS *car*. These are not cars by the definition. But quadricycles.
    If roads in cities were a mandatory 20-30mph and absolutely NO more than, then you would be laughing with the Amy. But seeing as we have 40-45mph roads in them it’s a nightmare scenario.
    I have an EV moped -30mph- it’s perfect for messing about but I still have to partially access 40mph roads and as well all know, drivers NEVER stick to a speed limit unless you monitor them. So 20 becomes 26-30mph and a 30 becomes a 40+ and a 40 becomes nearer a 50mph.
    Unlike in south France where there’s 10 of thousands of EV smart cars and EV bikes and the roads are built for slower traffic, here it’s just garbage driving anything small.
