    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 !

      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*

      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).

      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.

    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.

    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 😆

    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!!

  • @jackoneil3933

    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.

    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.

      @jackoneil3933 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

  • @feandil666
    @feandil666 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    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.

    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.
