Take a cruise round Mayfair/Belgravia/Knoghtsbridge etc. on a Friday night & upset all the supercar drivers that your car is getting more attention than them.
Do a video with your AMI from LONDON to BATH and return. Planning, stops, charging times, time spending, time spent, confort (or lack of it). Overall experience(s).
How about an electric trailer that follows the Ami at very short range automatically,but is not physically attached. One that can also be moved around by remote control and can carry gear/bikes/... Perhaps even a mini camper option. Extra power!!!
Use it for a shift delivering pizza. See it it is possible to charge while waiting and use it for the whole night. Compare the costs with using an E-scooter or alternatives that run on fossil fumes.
How much shopping will the Ami hold? We do a big shop every five or six weeks and wonder if it would be possible to put two shopping trolley-worth's, usually six or more full shopping bags. A bonus would be to fit a walker/stroller in it. It looks like the seats were not too low for someone disabled to exit. We have a Peugeot 4007 for that very reason.
Super cool!!! Can a trailer hitch reciever be fitted to it so that a bike rack... e-bike rack can be fitted to it? Just how many e-bikes, e-scooters, and all forms of e-mobility tech can 1 Ami hold?
On Ebay ,there are 17,000 plus , used electric cars ,many with low milage under £6,178 . Why buy a car thats real life range is 40/45 miles and is limited to towns only ? When you can get a EV that holds 4 adults as well as your weekly shopping and can drive 100 miles on one charge .
1. It's not a car 2. In Europe it is sold to 14 year olds as it does not require a license 3. If an electric car is costing £6178 used with low mileage there is definitely something wrong with it.
@@ElectroheadsI saw a Chinese $5k mini ev that has A/C, so it is possible to put A/C in something this small. With global warming, A/C is a necessity and not a luxury. I wish we can buy this in Vancouver, do you know it they have plans to export this to Canada?
The quadricycle needs a bike rack... its definitely a shame that even though no license is needed in France (where it was made), thanks to the UK road law we need a full license; its essentially an electric 4-wheeled bicycle. I want one, but have never driven, buggeration.
Give you a race in my Dutch Twizy🥳 I'll win at 95km/hr on the motorway but yours might be cuter 😉 perfect for London! People have finally stopped asking questions after 5 years. Enjoy x
Why would anyone in their right mind purchase an Electric Car? (EC=33) It's a piece of crxp and can you imagine what will happen when a full size car crashes into it at 40 mph!!!
I'd like to see a comparison with other quadricycles, the Microlino, Ark Motors, Silence 04 and anything else you can find that's available/when they're actually available in the UK. It would be nice to see this segment grow, although I don't personally want an Ami for a few reasons, I'd be up for a cost effective L7E quadricycle, or even a better implemented L6e like the Ami.
I think a road trip from London to Paris is in order. Maybe find someone who reviews electric cars in Switzerland who could drive a Microlino to Paris for a meet-up. Or even better, if you do that with several reviewers from the country of origin of all the Ami competitors and make a co-production of the whole journey, it would be great.
Love it ❤️ can you get hold of 2 more Ami's? Then organise an Italian job style sketch (jump suits and all) through the narrow lanes of London somewhere? Just don't dump them off of a windy cliff at the end 😬😂
This is a funtastic, gorgeous car. Road trip...100% real...charging & sleeping along the way cross country. Let's see what an EV can really do. Electroheads Rock👊
I saw one at the hospital doing the flu jabs of all places, in rural east Scotland! Not as funky as this one but still, Iit's just cute af. Ideas? You need to get it inside a building that no other car can go into.
I have the most brilliant idea what you could do with the car , Ok people ,World, universe, hope everyone is sitting down hold on tight here we go , what do you mean get on with it , ok fair point, what to do with the car = give it to me .
I love the Ami! I'd love to have one, If I could get: battery heater, and improved defogging (for the winter) I wouldn't mind to have Type2 input, rather than tethered schuko. Would be cool to get a bike rack on the rear.
Drive it around Westfield's would be fun!!! You could even do an old school booze cruise to France! Although it would be cool to see a series called "The slow road to (insert place here!)" maybe theme it to places and events regarding renewable and electric mobility? You could team up with electric bike shops, dealers for electric scooters and even organise events for like minded owners of specific forms of mobility. The other thing I was thinking was that i live in a semi rural area, public transport isn't really a viable option, but short commutes/second vehicles, the ami and twizy would be perfect in these areas for a lot of people. Could you also cover things like Car2Go that used to be in London but they pulled out because of logistical reasons, car/scooter/ebike sharing on the channel? There are so many opportunities and I am getting carried away again!! Your ami is very smart I have to say!
Yeah, VERY Electroheadsy! I like it. But could you make it faster? I mean, 44 miles in the city should be PLENTY, so losing some for more power.... And does it fit the folding bikes you still have? I'm sure I'm not the only one curious, certainly if you live in a big city...
I think I am in love. With the Ami of course (maybe) !! Nice little thing but we still love our nearly 5 year old Kona that still does 300m in the summer. Cooled seats, with every toy you need. Heat pump, active cruise, can you beat it ? Well an EV6 or Polestar AWD might, I have driven both.
If it were right hand drive and could do say 45 mph, it would be great. But as we don't have French laws, a quadricycle is a bit, well, naf.... Sorry, but not everyone lives in Wales....
I would definitely see how much you can modify it. Raise it, bigger treaded wheels (or smaller wheels for the laughs), see if it's possible to increase the range with a bigger battery... for a vehicle that cheap, you could really go to town and make it something unique. I feel the AMI has a lot of potential in the personalisation department, but even more in the modding department. Something that is missing in Electric cars right now, is the ability to modify the vehicles (Something ICE vehicles have done since their inception), and really the only thing that ICE has over Electric right now.
Hi guys just seen your awesome Ami with OWL in the registration My mum had a stuffed toy owl called "OOPIC" just thought this could be a cool 😎 name for a very cute vehicle Keep up the good work Thanks
The Topolino is overpriced in comparison. Same platform but more fancy design touches. It kinda defeats the concept/purpose of the Ami. It's meant to be affordable transportation and the Topolino starting at £10000+ for that money I'd buy a Hyundai Ioniq Electric used with around 30,000 miles 🤷♂️
I really think that these cars should be in a category where sixteen year old can drive! Perhaps a line of Amis on a go slow round London to illustrate how cool they are! And how cheap!
What fun! Perfect company car! I can see contests between the Ami and an e-bike, preferably a smaller one like a folding e-bike: speed, distance, who can carry the largest passenger…find a rugby player or some other burly fellow and see how far which vehicle can drive him around; loser must charge the batteries up on their own time or some such thing. Cheers!
Ok, time for switching out the motor so you can hit 60mph as I need this sort of speed to get to my local supermarket as 28mph is going to turn me into a HGV ornament. Yes, yes, I know that's not the idea and that 46 miles range will plummet to 28 miles. But my supermarket is only 6 miles away, as is my gym, my local DIY etc.... All linked in kent through fast A-Roads! Lets custom this puppy 😁 I reckon Moggy from Electric Classic Cars would do a channel mix up to give you some pace and grace (did i really suggest he cram one of the Jaguar I-Pace EV400 motors in this crate ?)....
No need to switch out the motor, the hardware is capable of 50mph it's software blocked. The company that makes the hardware, Valeo, has stated that this is possible but not for "civilian" uses. Besides it's classed as a quadricycle, by law it cannot exceed 28mph.
@@HairyCheese well I think you'd have a very much illegal vehicle 🤣 tbh I do not know how those who are removing the blocks are circumventing all of that maybe they just stay quiet who knows 😂

My first car was a 1973 Ami 8… Very second hand! I think you should add a small sticker of one to celebrate its great forbears!
Can you get hold of a microlino? Would love a proper review. Allegedly coming here later this year.
Get in touch with primary schools and do talks on e mobility, they'd love to see the Ami parked on the school grounds in that awesome wrap
This is a lovely idea
Super cool!!! Can a trailer hitch reciever be fitted to it so that a bike rack... e-bike rack can be fitted to it? Just how many e-bikes, e-scooters, and all forms of e-mobility tech can 1 Ami hold?

road trip how far could u go in a couple of days

Give it to me-
I only generally hear bad things about this ‘car’. For God sake don’t get into a collision 😂
I'll try!! 😭
The only idea I have is that you should do a meet-up somewhere in France with the @MeandMonAmi guys. I hope that was crazy enough 😀
I second that! 👍❤

Re-create The Italian Job with Amis.
the alfa lovely turbo petrol giulias will eat them up
Can we see a clown car bit....how many Electroheads can you pile in the car and film them getting in and out?!?
This is so fun! Can’t wait to see the fold-up, portable Ami.
Needs an ironic rear spoiler
I saw one at the hospital doing the flu jabs of all places, in rural east Scotland! Not as funky as this one but still, Iit's just cute af.
Ideas? You need to get it inside a building that no other car can go into.
Damn that is so cool they were using an Ami! Building trespassing, NOTED 😂
Super cool be nice to see a bike rack on her roof rack , Tent box , have fun 🤘
Who designed that wrap? Very good livery, especially the colors.
It was Motor Mode UK! They have gone above and beyond
I have the most brilliant idea what you could do with the car , Ok people ,World, universe, hope everyone is sitting down hold on tight here we go , what do you mean get on with it , ok fair point, what to do with the car = give it to me .
Bravo. Good Looking, getting the Citroen Ami out into the wilds of London is exactly the way the motor industry needs to be headed.
Offer free rides to folks at bus stops with the condition that they participate in Ami kareoki.
This is fantastic
It's not a car! 😛
I love the Ami!

Perfect car for London can't wait for the fun around London you can have !! Brilliant as allways good luck !!

My favourite colours 😅❤🤘🇬🇧 pure orange juice and mint 😅🤠🤘😎
I think you should do a competition.... Or maybe I just want to win one of these puppies ;-)
Practicality is key.
Can you fit the shopping in for a small family?
How much does it cost to fully charge?
Can you fit a toe bar or roof rack? 😊
Electro Ami hill climb challenge! Throw in a regular bike and your fave e-bike too! That would be cool!
I waited through the commercials to dislike your video!! Please stop 🤣
Got to a trip to Margate. Ice cream fairground and confused locals. It’s a winner👍
take it on a spin in Central London and recording people’s reaction, or may be ride on a C3, it’s a Quadricycle
I'm sorry everyone, it looked better when it was wrapped in gold
Looks great. Perfect for getting around locally.
Lands end to John O’Groats avoiding motorways
You should name her “Ami-Lou”
Love that
Bring it into a shopping centre. No permission just drive in.

You need an epic road trip, maybe stay in a hotel and go out for a nice meal
After my Mii electric dies, this will be my next car!
That is one SEXY Vehicle!
I reckon just demonstrate a regular trip to shops for groceries. Boring, but maybe all people need something like this for. 🤷♀️ Such a sweet car.
We definitely need to show this lil Ami doing the mundane stuff, too! Then people will HAVE to consider one 😃
Can you go to a big Tescos and do your shopping using the Ami as a shopping trolley?
This is a fantastic idea!!
See if it can transport a bike like a mountainbike to and from a trail
Pop down to Wiltshire in the Ami for a cup of tea 😀

Drive it from coast to coast across America!
Great car it looks like a little Owl maybe you can name the Ami “The Little Owl” good luck. Gerry 👍

Looks like it’s a death trap! 🤣
Start easy and do London to Brighton
It could be a good video, but please reduce the false excitement, it's not necessary !!
I can assure you my excitement was all very real. LOOK AT IT
ahhh so you guys are 1 of the 40 who ordered

That. Is. Bangin.
It had to be something strange and quirky, hasn't it.
But of course 😉
London to York
Camping!!!
LEJOG 😊
2 words - NCAP Rating?
No NCAP as it’s rated as a quadricycle. Safer and drier than a bicycle, not as safe as a car.
Nice ❤

@@Electroheads exactly! As usual our country lags miles behind. I looked into the ami for my 15 year old daughter and was appalled!

In the UK it does!
I only wrote this comment because Eilis promised to read it! 😉
I read it! 🤗
💗@@Electroheads
How about one full lap of the M25 ? 🤔
Are you trying to KILL ME?! 🤣
Haha of course it's the Citroen Ami, very nice! Like Will said: Phenomenal!
Ami Owl is a nice name.
Seen it before, it was the spare tire for the Hummer EV.
But yea, I think it will fly too. (out of the dealership)
Looks like it would be right at home on the set of Balamory, but would it make it the journey between the chargers dotted around the island of Mull :)

Cool car with cool livery. Love the Citroen AMI. Ideal that you have your own public charging point.
Congrats! Looks beatiful.
Drive it up a very large, very steep hill with a passenger and shopping, and back down again to see how it does. And do a steep hill start!
