• Test at the wheel of the Citroën AMI: restrictions, the fair ones

  • Regulations The speed limit of 30 km / h is coming to cities today: how will it be applied?

After the Renault Twizy, probably no vehicle represents the new mobility like

the Citroën AMI, a small 100% electric two-seater just 2.5 meters long and with a range of 75 kilometers.

Although good, calling it a car is exaggerated, since it is like those micro cars that were born in rural areas, for older people, but also have a customer base among young people whose parents prefer (and can) buy it before a moped. In the case of the AMI, prices start at 7,200 euros, an amount that should be discounted up to 1,600 euros of aid that can be obtained through the Moves III Plan.

Because those and the AMI are classified as light quadricycles, which means that

they can be driven from the age of 16,

without the tourist license, since the same license that is required for mopeds is enough.

Although in sin there is penance: its speed is limited to 45 km / h.

This cataloging and benefits make it forbidden to circulate with them on the highways that leave or bypass a large city such as Madrid. But they do not disengage in the urban jungle, especially since, on May 11, the speed on many streets was limited to 30 km / h and even 20 km / h.

As for

the 5.5 kW battery,

it charges in the style of an appliance, pulling the cable out of the side.

In fact, it

only takes 3 hours to fill it completely by

connecting it to a household socket (of the usual ones).

EL MUNDO has already been able to test the AMI for months precisely in a tour of Madrid, which you can consult at this link.

We could summarize it by saying that it is a tremendously striking vehicle, for two people, with a relative capacity for bulks and very fun to drive.

Although it soon comes to light its low speed, or the hardness of the suspension and seats.

Buy, rent or rent by the minute

With great customization possibilities, allowing you to choose between four kits and two exclusive packages,

the Citroën AMI can reach the customer's hands in different ways. Buying it directly, with prices ranging between 7,200 euros and 8,560 euros, without discounting the purchase aid.

In addition, this week the possibility of enjoying it for a modest monthly fee (about 20 euros) will be announced upon payment of a ticket. And we can carry out the operation with the dealer either online through this website (which is not working right now) or with the FNAC. And it is possible that they will not take you home.

Finally,

the AMI has also just joined the Free2Move vehicle fleet, the Stellantis car sharing

company that already operates the Peugeot iOn, Citroén C-Zero, as well as the Peugeot e 2008, all 100% battery-powered.

There are 50 units

that will provide services in a specific area that covers the Center of Madrid and the districts of Retiro, Salamanca, Chamberí, Chamartín and Tetuán.

Although, in this case, in

order to rent it, you must be at least 18 years old and have a type B driving license.
