#citroen #review #electriccar - Auta a dopravní prostředky
i'm french and i think you are kind of missing the point. You keep calling it a car but as far as the law is concerned, it's a moped.
So no driving license required, drivable from age 14, low insurance.
In France you see tons of these at high schools, because the parent feel safer than giving kids a 2 wheels moped.
To go from a point A to B in a city, there is no better vehicule !
Fair point!
Yes, complaining a quadricycle doesn't do car things so is bad is like complaining your dinner knife doesn't do fork things and is bad or your mouse doesn't do monitor things. *shrugs*
In the uk you have to be 16 not 14 😅
My thoughts, they're in the AM "mopeds" category (and so, say, motorcycle licence holders who don't have a car licence can also "drive" these).
It's not a car, it's a luxury electric scooter, and I love it
I have one that I really like, it does all the things a normal car does, but at almost zero cost. Best 8000 euros I spent in my life.
I'm test driving one in a few days. Have you had any issues with frost in the winter or heavy rain? I only do local drives but sometimes only once every two weeks so I'd like to know it's well sealed to avoid damp and eventual mould. I don't have a garage to park it in.
It is a deathbox. No airbags, no squashzones, no squeezezones nothing. If an SUV hits you and 30 mph you’re toast
@@Spitzkopf366-APM Yes and ditto that for motorbikes and yet???
It’s not a car , it’s a quadracycle , don’t mix the two up.
I drive a Rocks e and I love it🎉
25 years driving bikes and scooters in the bloody rain i still thinks this a better option then a car and yes i have a driving lincense. You missed the piont here
You've completely missed the point of this vehicle....
You're supposed to compare it to an electric moped. Unlike the moped you don't get wet in the rain, you don't get cold in winter, you can't fall off it and you're more likely to be seen by other traffic.
I have one instead of catching the bus, unlike the bus it always turns up and I always get a seat! Best of all, it costs £4 to fully charge it!
It's the perfect vehicle for running around town - just don't go on a road faster than 30mph!
It's easily the best worst car I've ever owned 😆
Americans when a "car" has no 7 litre v8 with 120 hp and is 8 metres long.
It's not made to compete with cars, it's made to compete with scooters, bikes and other inner city ways to come by. In europe you can get a drivers license for this about 2 years before you can drive a full size car. Why it's available in the US is a real question to ask.
Yup, it's not a car, it's a quadracycle. Comparing it to a Tesla is like comparing a single-engine Cessna to a Gulfstream biz-jet, but pilots love Cessnas. Compare the Ami to a golf cart, a 50cc scooter or an e-bike, and it's brilliant.
I’ve had one of these cars for a year now and yes it’s basic but somehow it’s brought the fun back into driving! Charging is so easy. Just plug it into the mains
Looks great, one of the most interesting things car industry has done in decades - rather than the constant oversized, insanely expensive and largely pointless over powered cars the industry chucks out. Basically an Affordable run around, bit more top speed would be good - 40mph probably make it more palatable on many British roads.
Out of spec reviews drove one at the Las Vegas car show that was tuned or "unleashed" for the American market, and did about 45mph and would chirp the tires.
I still want one and will import one to Canada just so I can smile everytime I see it in the morning.
You are testing it with 4% battery. My MG4 would be in limp mode that low. I just looked at a 2 person pedicab with electric assist, almost 15k! You buy cheap, you get cheap. If you’re in a low paid job that’s 10 miles away this would get you there and back every day cheaply. It’s horses for courses.
I’ve got one and it does what it says on tin! So many people admire it. Furthermore in Croydon if you have a large Chelsea’s tractor. Cost a lot more to park.
I use this car in cold Sweden, live rural, and drive 15000 km a year. I am very happy with it. It use only 700 watt in 10 km, which is here about 20% of a simular moped using diesel. By far the best in its class!!
It’s not a car and shouldn’t be compared to one.
Compare it to a moped that keeps you dry and you can’t fall off
They can call it what they like - looks like a car to me mate
Well I’ve had mine a year and done 3500miles in it, but before I bought one I was cycling every day in the pissing rain, so from my viewpoint is the height of luxury. Depends on where your coming from mate
Looks like a lot of fun to me and all you need for local journeys. It's low charging rate would be ideal to charge from home solar too. You have criticised this as a car, it is not a car it is a quadricycle, a similar but very different vehicle.
If I didnt have children and didn't have to travel far for work I would 100% buy one of these.
was it in limp mode because the battery was almost empty?
I think it was. Still an awful car/tricycle or whatever one wants to call it 😩🤣
There's a huge difference between a car and a quad.
It's for grandmas and high schoolers who don't have a license. you don't need one to drive it in France. And for grandmas to go the market, or a teenager to go to school it's good enough. The main problem I see is that it's too expensive for what it is.
Great comment - thank you 🙏
Have you checked the prices for cargo bikes and trikes lately?
You're looking at 5-8k and possibly even more and they are limited to 25 kmh assisted and no protection from the elements.
The Ami for virtually the same price is fully enclosed, will carry another passenger and you have a lot of room surrounding you for shopping or other cargo.
And no pedaling required.
This is an alternative to a cargo bike for local commuting at a very similar price to a bakfiets long nose type cargo bike. It's a qudracycle, not a car.
You have to accept what it is. And what it's not.
Look i enjoy the fact that people rewive this vehicle. but the part that most people miss is the fact that this is a quadracycle. Theres a reason why in France, Germany and Switzerland and other countries. The legal age for this small car is 14-16. I feel like people are to harsh with this small "car". Of course, It has its flaws. But its not the worst car? You are Talking shit about this car. However, Just think what a teenager would do. Most of teenagers (From experience) do not care so much, The only reason we would get this is just to bring me from point A to point B In a quicker manner while giving me the feeling I'm driving a car! Anyways don't take this personally. Good review!
Thank you for making me laugh ….. I needed that! 😊😂
I'd love to see you give this another go in the summer and maybe look into some cheap mods you think would help it achieve some more of your bottom lines..
It does have storage on the passager side that's not for ur feet if u look closely there's a luggage sign u prob could fit at least 3 bags of shopping and behind the drivers seat there's a small storage space too.
I still really want to drive one as a 13 year old
Your bicycle is better!
u mean my ix4 electric scooter btw is this in wales cuz i think ive seen this exact ami@@shollysgarage
Me too, but I am 74... damn.
I will still love a Smart Fortwo. But this is nice, when I would not be allowed anymore to have my license.
If it's only got 4KM its in limp mode - which starts at 10km
Like most comments its being compared to a car rather than a moped, electric bike, disability scooter or Sinclair C5 (which have very very limited luggage space) and no weather protection.
That was funny 😂 looks like a porta loo on wheels.
🤣🤣
i like how you were positively talking about the car then in next 3 minutes you started roasting the sh*t out of it, and that moan got me 5:37 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I really want to get one and make it fast, because why tf not.
Safety crash reasons
Reminds me of the BMW Isetta 600.
It is the perfect car for shopping near your house.
£12k to have your shopping bag fall over, and the onions roll behind the pedals 😂
Cheerful in some two tone non drab colours but not cheap
Love it but unfortunately where I live not legal and unavailable.
I just got my ami back after 6 months with Citroen, it needed a new battery pack only9 months old with 8000 kilometres on it
Oh dear that's no good hope you got a replacement vehicle 😊
When you got into the vehicle, it LITERALLY sounds uncomfortable. I've never seen/heard something that bad from a car review before.
Put some cushions on the seats make it alot comfy.
People will either love this car or hate it - Excellent review! raw and honest
Thank you! ☺️
If you live in the city, work in the city and have no kids, I can see a use for this.
you are talking like you paid 20.000€ for it, what else brand new vehicle can you get for 6.000€?
Oui, il oublie que la voiture coute le prix d’une option siège sport chez porsche.
U just seem negative tbh, it’s not a car your judging it as one
A car that identifies as a quadricycle 🙄🙄🙄
@@shollysgarage it’s literally a quadricycle not a car. You can’t take it on the motorway.
It's more like a high end mobility scooter that looks like a car I think it's cute, maybe some people shouldn't have high expectations and keep an open mind.
It's Porta Loo
To answer your question, no its not
Who wants to drive an oven in the summer???
👌🤣
i think it's a cool concept for short distances but way too overpriced for what it is, 10'000 euro
i seen one on the road on the parkway near sheffield i was Jealous I wanted one
I Drive a Ford Fiesta
These are good for 14+ actually good for 16year olds
It is basic city transportation, nothing more, nothing less.
Good summary -thank you!
Your welcome - thanks for your comment :)
It. Isn't. A. Car.
Needs to do 100 miles, needs to do 40mph, needs padded seats, needs a radio, needs airbags, needs a return indicator stalk. Needs a bit better suspension. And then you have a fantastic city vehicle that will do a large chunk of the population just fine who will dump their cars for it. Perfect also for workmen to carry tools , delivery privers etc. This is actually the future for most not cars, not bikes. The perfect city runaround. I suspect we will see similar versions from all manufacturers come out and we will get the upgrades needed from them. Hthe ami is the pioneer not the end result. V2 will be the game changer.
Αν είχε όλα αυτά που λέτε θα κόστιζε το τριπλάσιο και θα έχανε την αυθεντικοτητα του
quadrocycle
A very expensive toktok😂
🤣🤣
43 miles???? 😮
Yup 😩😩😩
@@shollysgarage So, its basically a mid-range E-Bike with a weight problem?.......
'Citroën-Shoddy comes as standard'
46 miles
I think you are spot on this one - waste of a car!
Thank you 🙏
haha it is indeed horrebile
Finally somebody agrees with me 🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure it's just a re skinned cheap Chinese car. It's about the same size and rides similar. If you don't know just lookup the cheapest new car on youtube and I'm sure an example will come up.
They are made in Morroco
It's actually a bespoke French-made car and quite different from the Chinese granny cars. The Ami uses a belt-drive industrial truck alternator as a motor, suspension and steering parts from a compact petrol motorcar
tbh its a piece of crap there are way better teenager safe cars that use petrol that have more than this for the price
You're video is great! Unfortunately you're driving a shit car which is the worst to ever be made! I would prefer a wheel chair and that says something.
Thank you! Car is awful 🤣
