I loved your review! I am grieved at the regulation in Ireland and also the pricing. Why is it selling for €10 000.00 here and only €6000.00 in the rest of Europe and the UK? What's up with that? It's s quadricicle so why the full license? I'm very disappointed with this. It actually makes me a bit sick. Still appreciated your review and really enjoyed your vlog style of shooting the video!

The other European countries won’t get the Ami for that cheap as in France. And instead of selling the Ami in Germany, Stellantis replaced it with the Opel Rocks-e (basically a rebadged Ami, but they chose Opel because it’s a German brand and because it’s way more popular and dominant than Citroen in Germany) and they will get it for a starting price of 7,990€.

@@stefan25769 It's amazing how cruel people are! They still think the general public are ignorant. They are so greedy they don't see HOW well it would sell and double the price. Or they do and are simply brutally greedy and cruel. Instead of seeing the overall picture of seeing that when you uplift a community the wealth of a country increases and there is more to go around. People function on feeling decisions and not logic.

Interesting concept . 10k a bit steep when you you look at used Nissan Leafs which can do 100km and much more practical, but hard to beat this for the little space it takes up parking. Would be ideal for the likes of GoCar an Yuko, if they had their own charging bays. Good you got to test it in the rain too. It sounded really harsh over the ramps, and so many Ramps in Dublin, that I sold my bmwi3 because it was killing my back over the Ramps, so that would be an issue. Interesting to see who buys these in future and their experiences wit them. Id like you to do a bit more driving around town in one to get a better feel for it.

Excellent little motor might be an option for my town in Kildare, if you show this to Eamon Ryan TD for the Greens Minister for Environment and communications, as it was him said we could share a car and do our shopping especially us that live in the country, or maybe go to the bank, O sorry our bank closed down last week we need to travel to the next town, only thing is it would take me 30 minutes to walk to the town to collect this do my shopping and then drop it back with my 30 minute walk back home again. Unless we had a few parked outside the town now that's an idea. Hopefully he will finance a few for our town in Monasterevin so we can travel to Kildare town to the nearest bank, I'll even test it for him for free. now I know this is a bit of banter but I do hope he here's my comment. Mr Ryan they are only €6000 in France👍

At €10k it seems like a bit of a toy more than something a teenager would actually use. If they were used for car sharing service (similar to bleeper bikes setup) it might work for getting people from A - B when cycling/walking/public transport isn’t an option.

I'm still hopeful that Citroen will further update the Ami (and Renault's Twizy for that matter too) It literally only comes with the grey primer. The Ami comes with a 48 volt battery system, it can most definitely use a two speed or a beefier battery because there's not enough to justify 10k. Just like the Twizy, and that can top out at 80-100kmh. An Ami body with a Twizy drive is what's missing here on the market
