Citroen Ami: The Adorable Non-Car For Kids
ฝัง

- Citroen Ami may look like a car but it's not, it's a quadricycle and with just 8 horsepower no driving licence required. Great news for 15 year old Gersende as you can drive the Ami from just 14. School journeys were difficult before the Ami as she lives in a remote part of France 12km from school, Citroen has given her and her friends some independence.
With a price point of 6.900 Euros, the Citroen Ami is an affordable mobility option not just for teenagers but for city commuters as well. Whether this alternative to car ownership catches on across Europe and beyond is yet to be seen but for Gersende it's been liberating.

This car is a great concept and a convenient quadricycle. Good to see an intelligent young girl going to school. This will give her more practical driving lessons and theory before she is old enough to get a license.
Is so nice to see the cheaper side of EVs start to come to the market, even if it's just a quadricycle it begins to show that cheaper EVs gonna become an option in the future.
Pre-orders started in the UK last week too!
I've already seen one driving through Macclesfield!
@@zm321 I did pre-order one myself, but ended up cancelling just before launch, mainly because of that top speed and for the price I could but a used new model electric smart car for a few grand more.
Just reserved one in the UK. Excited! I have a powerful diesel car but will use the Ami for short journeys and in town.
Let us know what it’s like!
@@DWREV I'll try and remember to let you know but deliveries don't start until April 2022 and I am far from the first person who have reserved theirs.
I’ve reserved one too!
I’ll be interested in any mods that can be done, bigger battery to increase range perhaps, or ability to tweak top speed (although may be illegal to do this?).
If you look around there are vids to upgrade certain cosmetic things as well as 3d printable parts.
A funky body wrap would be cool as well.
I’m looking forward to more details as we near the uk release time.
I drive a very powerful car and have a 60 mile round trip commute to work, but this little AMI would be just the thing to drive around town where traffic speeds seldom now get to 30mph.
Can’t wait to see more information.
I own one
Did the delivery already take place? Haven't heard much from the Ami's in the UK.
I fall in love with this car instantly while watching the video and I hope in the future it'll come here in Jamaica
The spiritual successor to the much beloved 2cv/tpv. Cheap, reliable and fun transportation for the masses! That’s the Ami.
The 2CV is a true car. The Ami is a step below that but in the same tradition.
I really love this concept and Citroen should bring this car in the Indian market as well! And this car will sell like hot cakes for especially those children who have interest in cars like me!
I also have interest in cars
Id never skip school again
This is something we all need. In addition to a lot of crazy people on the road, there are also children behind the wheel👍👍
I'd love one. Unfortunately they aren't street legal in Canada, which means they're illegal to import even if used only on private property. Maybe one day our government will wake up to the idea of small, electric, commuter vehicles.
One day. Eventually after everyone else has adopted it. Ministry of Transportation will still probably put restrictions on it. The 60kmph local limit is a factor too. It would be fine as a runabout where the limit is 40-50. We are too slow to adopt things like this.
Maybe Canada should start becoming more like Europe and less like the US...
This is a vehicle that Apple should have initiated...lots of young prospects ahead for this mode and emerging ideas.
Well that’s a lovely story well done to her at 15 being so mobile
Most of the world need that car. It's sad Citroen is not selling it in more markets.
I would most definitely replace an _Audi_ 🙄 with this Citroën
I replaced my audio with an e39 beamer. But I want one of these for those mostly shirt trips in town.
Reminds me of the - "More Smile per Mile" of motoring in my 2 new 2CVs which I brought back to Australian - 1978 Club & 1982 & 1990 Charlestons.
Makes friends where ever you go... a true AMI - even found lipstick marks on the windscreen where some one had kissed my 2CV....
It was lime green lipstick.... Peut etre une drag queen?? Such fun.
It's a cool car
Sehr gut mobilite auto. Bravo Citroën süper, süper, süper. Danke.
Why do I even need my drivers licence? 🤔. If I ever needed a car I’ll get this , I can do pizza deliveries in it ….
I'm also a very huge fan of Citroen Ami I wish that car arrived in our country Philippines 🙏
3:30 I can't 🤣
I definitely would like to import one of these into Canada.
Finally kids can drive cars
Exelente 👏👏👏
Beautiful. Every kid should have one. But the cloth straps for handles, no. It will wear out, regular door handles would be better. 7:51 that mug is shaking alot. Coffee will not stay in it?
The mug is shaking because it is in the wrong spot. That is the place to put your Bluetooth speaker
It is a cool car.
I need one in the states
Age limit would be 16 in Turkey
since public transport discriminates healthy people we need to buy more cars again (used petrol cars of course)
Is it available at South Africa
0:55 not true, at least in germany, you need a AM license to drive mopeds and other vehicles up to 45km/h.
It's faster than most of the tractors so I don't think drivers should bi bothered by it, at least no more than they're bothered by tractors.
It would be a big success in Europe, everywhere its price is not a big deal, the climate is not too harsh and the distances are not big in between villages/cities. Eastern-Europe is out of the question. Most of the people there have less money for buying a family car.
Most people buy second hand cars, particularly when they are poor. This will definitely apply to the villages/cities in Eastern-Europe.
This is basically a golf buggy but full sheltered and looks much better.
Well, quadricycle has a nice ring to it, though.
Wait so I can drive this in the UK being 14 ?????
I WANT ONE NOW
I love the car please come in india
You Indians will drive it on the freeways ! No !
Everyone keeps making the same mistake she has a part one scooter license not a full licence but if you were born before 1988 you don't need a license but it's not a car see french you tuber AMI STYLE and read the comments
would it be in the us?
What do they mean when they say you don’t need a license? You need no license at all? Cause here in Germany you do need a license to drive this vehicle.
8hp? So I can ride a Honda Grom (MSX 125) without a motorcycle license in EU countries?
I was thinking of buying a Ami a few months ago but then the price in France was 6000 Euros, however I live in German and Citroen didn't sell it in Germany they rebadged it As an Opel but the Opel cost 8000 Euros.
So because I live in Germany I would have been charged an extra 2000 Euro, I'm definitely not going to do that.
There are other Electric Quadracycles, there is a Dutch thing that will be 6000 Euros even if you live in Germany.
Oh didn't know that 🤷♂️
I am 27 and want one ☝️.
Available in india ..
So when immature kids hit an actual car who's paying for the damage. 😑
The insurance
@@DWREV So many immature adults on roads, more dangerous than ever and do not worry for insurance companies which profits are pretty high; sorry but your comment is a non sense. In France the State is forbiding so many things, if it was more dangerous it would have been forbidden, more so under large insurance companies pressures
Just like for any other vehicle: the Insurance.
Can you actually drive this at 14???
What is the top speed
It’s 28mph
Schade das der Ami nicht nach Deutschland geliefert wird.
Stimmt! Der kommt aber bald als Opel Rocks-e!
i have the MINI SE to scratch my tiny car itch
See America. That's freedom.
Hmmm! Ehkä Justiin Tämä Väri Ja Varusteet
Hmm ! €€(Harkintaan)Kolmannella € Ostopäätös Mutta Vielä Ei
She is not riding, she is driving, no driving licence needed....., MADNESS!!
New warning sticker for the Ami: "Baby at the wheel!"
Why’s he not pronouncing Citroen properly?
Chery QQ Ice Cream 👌🏼 and HongGuang Mini EV are the best sellers in the world.
🇨🇳💪🏼👍🏼
An oversized toy car. 😁
How to lose both kids in one big swoop
That's a bit pessimistic!
i really dont support children getting into a car like this, break test would be shitty on this one
It is much safer than walking , skate boards , skates and motocylces and they will not even have to travel with strangers in a taxi or on a bus
@@deedee8043 fair points my fiend im inclined to agree
@@vegeta3406 but i understand what you were trying to say and i agree that may well be one of the disadvantages of this car
@@deedee8043 by now i have a car like this. turth is in our street ppl ride 80 at board 30 something goes sideways i vaporize.. my dad was taxi driver for 20years when i let him know imma buy this vehicule he called it a coffin rather than a car. but this one suited best for my budget. if i had family i would tend to go for volvo for safety benefits
@@vegeta3406 Volvo was bought by Geely and its now Chinese
this is super dangerous if you’re letting people with no license on roadways with actual cars
Fact from 50 years of dozens countries just doing that: It's totally safe.
More licensed drivers have gotten into accidents and have caused fatalities than kids driving mopeds ! Shut up !
@@Kiev-en-3-joursdamn!
driving this or a scooter what's the differences?
and what a splash it's made. amazing sales figures.highly positive 'fun element' reviews from motor mags. rave reaction from youngsters (over 40% of the 20,000 sold last year were to under 18's).An amazing, amusing,cost effective and user-friendly...friend.
