This is exactly the video I've been looking for! I know the Citroen Ami is not perfect by any means but for someone like me who can't get a full license due to disabilities this is going to be a god send. Honestly I'd be willing to put up with all it's imperfections as it's miles better than a mobility scooter and to be honest only just over a grand more expensive than a really decent mobility scooter. I'm really excited I never thought I'd be able to drive and resigned myself to the fact I might have to rely on friends/ family and public transport for the rest of my life but hopefully this little thing is going to offer me the opportunity for some transport independence.

The same here, oh how I would love to get one just to get to the near by shops in town. My scooter cost way to much just because they can get away with it, but it can go for 55miles without recharging however, it can only go 10 miles per hour. Now if only shipping could get better from all the hang ups and the US could start selling things like this, it will make life soo much better for us that already feel like burdens for our loved ones. Ah yes, the freedom!!!!! They just passed a law in California, US. to have all EV’S and no gas vehicular by 2035 but I may not still be here by then. Come on US. GET IT TOGETHER MAN!

Except you *need* a FULL driving license to drive it. It’s not a disability vehicle, it’s classed as a 500kg moped. It needs an MOT just like a moped does. However, in France a 14 year old can drive it with no license. In the U.K. a full drivers license is needed. Simple to checkup, just phone your nearest Citroen dealership. I know, because I looked into getting one. I have had a license for 30 years, but it wasn’t worth the money and I could buy a Nissan leaf for approx £6k

You cannot use this on a provisional license You need at a minimum a Full AM licence. You can take the AM test on a 50cc three wheeler if you are disabled. But everyone else would need to pass the AM tes on a Moped. You can drive this one full motorcycle pr car license.

If I was thinking of buying one of those I would wait for the mk2. Maybe they'll make some improvements to the design. A housing around the dash display to make it easier to see, sun visors, proper door handles, better suspension (there are speed bumps everywhere round here) Those things woudn't add much to the overall cost but would vastly improve the driving experience.

Great review particularly all the features and practical aspects best I’ve seen. Yes it’s basic but for £8000 it’s on its own and as basic transport for city and rural runs acceptable especially when most electric cars are£30,000 or more.

Excellent. A nice alternative- and useful - type of review. On the cup holders thing the one just behind the steering wheel is in fact a space for a Bluetooth speaker. And for the other one being out of reach when driving? Well (and yes I know the reality😉) a driver shouldn’t even be going anywhere near the cup when driving, only when stationary/parked. I know people have been booked for drinking from a cup while driving. There was even a somewhat farcical case once, I think in UK, where a driver was ticketed for eating an apple😳 Your type of review is great, thanks for something a bit different.

Fantastic for rollovers.

Good to have a different look around from someone who has experienced it in the UK. I think the 'cup holder' directly in front of the steering wheel is supposed to be for a bluetooth speaker ( the small round type). For the ventilation could they not have something that just spins in the passing air like you get on vans.

I've only seen one on the road since they arrived in the UK. Definitely a niche product.

8:00 That is going to be one hell of a blind spot in bad weather !

Great video, never got the build quality from other videos Ive watchd such as welding etc. The only thing missing for me was, about french law when we're not in France so would be good to have how it's considered here with our laws, what age?, need a license? insurance etc. Being classed a.. quadracycle? what road legally usuable on? cycle lanes? probably not lol. Also Mph and Miles please 😁 For me I love it.... apart that it's a tad too expensive, a tad too basic and a tad too slow. Many roads near me are Motorways and expressways in a smallish town so would have to plan route carefully to avoid fast roads. even B roads in the UK are often 40-60mph. The twizzy is more viable for speed but let down by no decent storage or doors etc and cost to buy and own, renting the battery. If this had been just that bit better all round it would have made me consider it as a viable option. Maybe when they do a Mk 2 or a souped up version 🤔😁

I'd love a 3 seater version! Something like the G Wiz. I'm tempted though. Citroën are going to lease them for £19.99 a month! Just need to find out what the situation is with insurance

If you like the suicide door look of the original 2CV, you could get the passenger door properly outfitted so the aesthetic is as ought to be on a Citroen. This cute little car is not meant for the motorway but its perfectly suited for around town and city driving, where it excels.

I've driven some pretty powerful cars in my 60 years, including 3 litre Mercedes, Maserati, BMW, and Jaguar, and used to drive 50k miles per year but now just around three miles per week. However, now that I'm retired and disabled, the Ami might be an option but there's no room for my wheelchair or rollator, even if the passenger seat were removed. I may just fit two walking sticks behind the seats. At least it can be charged from a domestic socket, as I cannot have a charge point fitted at my house,

The issue is that it wouldn't pass crash tests in any European countries, due to being primarily made for the French lightweight quadricycle market, which I believe is also how it is classified as in the UK. Safety standards for those are much lower than for regular passenger cars.

In the UK. A motor quadricycle or a motor tricycle. Since 2000 a minimum provisional car licence has to be obtained to legally drive such a vehicle.👀 Do quadricycles need insurance? If you want to take your quad on the road, You are prohibited from the use of such a vehicle on certain roads et in the UK) You'll need road legal cover. Road-legal quads have the same insurance requirements as all other road vehicles and should be covered at a minimum of third-party only cover.👀 Driver licencing= the Citroen Ami can be driven with a 'Category AM' driving licence that covers a moped, which allows the licence holder to drive two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles with a maximum speed of 28mph.25 May 2022 👀How much will Road Tax/Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for an electric car cost? Zero emission EVs (BEVs) are zero-rated standard tax for both the first year and all subsequent years. That means you don't pay any road tax on a pure electric vehicle.

Most reviews make the huge mistake of comparing this to a car, which is like comparing apples to soup. It may be flawed as a car but then again it’s not a car. As a means of transport it’s a huge step up from our shockingly abysmal uk public transport, it’s a step up from riding any two wheeled transport in icy rainy winter conditions and it’s noticeable that most of the people laughing at it are walking. This will get you around a city as fast as a Porsche Taycan. If you are driving in a city, watch out for the twenty mile an hour speed cameras, you easily get done for speeding in this.

This is one of a handful of EVs I'd love to own. This and Renault's Twizy would definitely have space on my garage if it wasn't stuffed with other vehicles! Nice to see a subjective video of it.

Informative and entertaining. I've read a lot of reviews on the Citroën Ami and most fit in the "Hideous/I can walk faster" category. Frankly I think the nay sayers are wrong on this occasion as i think the Ami beats walking especially if it's pissing it down with rain, I guess this motor has a place in our lives for short commutes, jaunts to the shops and maybe more. What pits me off is the build quality, that shiny Instrument panel that could be an easy fix with a Frosted finish like an up to date TV and the lack of a steering wheel Air bag at the very least, I find that shocking actually. I'd Lime to have known what the charge time was from empty to full and the typical costs associated, more regarding storage options and what after market options are available, other than that a great video .. thank you very much 😊 👍🏻

More of my opinion, the frames inside AMI make it look like Half-Finished product, and its acception could be raised to another level if the problem is solved.

My opinion of this 'vehicle' is inversely proportional to this review: interesting, comprehensive and well thought out review. the Ami: the worst, ill conceived, impractical and nasty object on 4 wheels I've seen in a long time! It looks as if it's development and production was undertaken by Citroen's janitor on 1 month's of their wages in that time. For example, the impact protection from a side collision when examining the doors appears non existent. I think it's fair to say that the myriad of design flaws go beyond inconvenient and are downright dangerous. I am genuinely surprised that: 1- Citroen actually went ahead and produced this thing. 2- For obvious safety reasons, road legislation permits it on the road. 3- Anyone would actually consider buying such a contraption. I know that their are far better vehicles than this that would suit those who experience a disability. Finally, I wouldn't let my teen kids behind the wheel of this. Great review though!

I’m surprised how cheap quality and spartan it is (no speaker, no sunvisors or *good* heater). I know it’s not really expensive but that welding and sealant was poor. I think I’d still have a scooter for the price despite them making you even more cold in winter.

Interesting, this video gave a different feel to the Ami than some of the other reviews I've seen. Hadn't really clicked quite how basic it is in some ways... Would definitely prefer it had central locking and an extra (quieter) ventilation fan, and didn't have the big sunroof. Shame the suspension is so poor too given that the seats don't look particularly soft and urban roads often have terrible surfaces.

Good to see that the glass roof panel and the lack of sun shades is as bad an idea as I thought when I first saw the prototype. You, along with every single reviewer, failed to mention that the rear-hinged drivers door is a terrible idea. All it will lead to is damage to other peoples vehicles in car parks.

It beggars belief that a major motor manufacturer of repute canrelease a vehicle with these defects i.e. unreadable speedo in sunlight, screen can't be reached to clean, dazzle through forward sun-roof, dispersed major controls, but I take it that this hasn't stopped it getting UK Type Approval. God bless the National Radiological Protection board. Dashboard over designed, too much plastic, controls, including Drive/Reverse controls . . Should be centralised, why disperse, . ? . . Weight penalty No cover on passenger footwell floor forward . . Which is painted sheet metal . .prepare for more ventilation holes. How can the same manufacturer have made the 2 CV then build something like this with crap suspension . . Surely lightweight mini hydragas units would be appropriate. Starting procedure over complicated, obviously borrowed from our chums in the Far East who employ transaxles on their hydrocarbon powered vehciles . Instrument binacle should show status in 64 point type in colour "ON . . FORWARD . . REVERSE 10% POWER REMAINING" - so Granny or the occasional user doesn't have to do the third party symbol translation. The newly selected mode status should flash for 5 seconds after a new mode is selected. Along with the speedo, remaining battery power should be the most prominent Lack of sliding/partially rotating/folding passenger seat . . How does the dog or kids get in the back ? Being French, nobody of course has heard of the use of ganged PeltzIer semi-Conductors for heating and cooling . . . Sun-strip self-adhesive visor on forward part of glass roof . . For heavens sake a common sight on cars of the 1960. No solar panels embedded in the outer pannelling . . . Even just to run the lighting, instrument binnacle etc . . . Every little helps. Any consideration of a microbus version like the FiAT 500 microbus, for the taxi trade, tradesmen and local delivery deivers or a fun mini-moke or beach buggy version for leisure resorts ? Doesn't say much for the post- design testing. Doesn't seem, compared with the 2CV, that Citroen have really put their design "Heart" into this one . . A product of the influence of the less than benign hydro-carbon industry ? Why not build the seat part of the front seats as flap down seats located in the doors.Open door, adjust seat position, sit down, with one motion push off with feet to close door and simultaneously relocate feet to foot well . When fully closed the seat would engage with a securing clip on the chassis floor for support. At least they could try that on the passenger side, it would liberate space for shopping/luggage as well as making it easier for the disabled to get in. They managed similar innovations on the post-war 2 CV. Why not this one ? Wonder what the concept car looked like.

i admit, allthough its ugly as sin, i kinda want one just for fun. But the prce 7.000€ is way to high, for that money you can get a real car, and a good one at that...for me its worth about 3.000€.
