CITROEN AMI REVIEW - €6,000 A CAR YOU CAN DRIVE WITHOUT A LICENSE? DRIVE THRU UK 4K

EV Channels Review

The Citroen AMI is presented as a unique, affordable, and license-free electric quadricycle, primarily aimed at urban commuting. The reviewer highlights its exceptionally small size, quirky and symmetrical design, and low cost (around €6,000 new in France). A key selling point is its accessibility, as it can be driven from age 14 in France and 17 in the UK on a provisional license. The 43-mile range and 3-hour charging time are deemed sufficient for city use, though the 28 mph top speed is identified as a significant limitation that could impede traffic flow. Storage is practical for small items, and surprisingly, interior space is adequate even for taller individuals. The reviewer praises its fun factor, particularly the ability to perform handbrake turns, and its potential as an eco-friendly alternative to e-scooters or ride-sharing services. However, the lack of soundproofing, absence of air conditioning, and the potentially awkward left-hand drive configuration in the UK are noted drawbacks. Ultimately, the AMI is seen as a novel, cost-effective solution for specific urban mobility needs, though its practicality on faster roads is questionable.
