The fact you didn't flip it when you did the J turn is just testimony to how planted that little thing is

[@TheRealFobican]

The batteries are in the floor just like most modern electric cars have because you need plenty of space to drop the batteries in.

[@Matkovic99]

@@TheRealFobican Im aware, it's just so odd due to how narrow the car's width is.

[@BronyumHexofloride]

@@TheRealFobican the Centre of gravity is soo low to the ground its nigh impossible to flip it by sheer bad driving alone... getting T-Boned tho.. well that's another question altogether

[@Blockbuster2033]

@@BronyumHexofloride Lol easily possible to flip this thing. There is a video of an ami getting flipped in Monaco just by taking a corner to fast (the hairpin of the F1 circuit)

It's very reminiscent of those 70's electric city cars that sprouted up during the oil crisis in the US

In Sweden when youre 15 you can drive a mopedcar, it’s almost fully plastic and really tiny, (almost like this Citroen) and it can go 45km/h. And then we’ve got “epa traktor or a-traktor” they could we a whole Volvo or Mercedes and so on, (even big trucks), but they can only go 30km/h.

[@peterlobb6456]

Love it! I'd have one for bopping around in! I wouldn't sell all my 2 stroke bikes, Astra GTE and Cortina though ;)

My mums first car was a Citroen Ami, funny enough also the first car I crashed at the age of 4. But it looked different to this one.

if you could buy one in the red and yellow little tikes colour combo, I'd buy it no questions asked.

sorry you mentioned this I think, how long does the battery take to charge?

A fiat sichento fits in trolly bays aswell. Parking at Christmas is normally such a pain not when all the trolleys are in use 😅
