A Very Small Citroën City Car

The Citroën Ami is an electric quadricycle designed specifically for tight city streets and low-speed urban transit.

Key Specifications

  • Vehicle Class: Light quadricycle (L6e)
  • Powertrain: 6 kW (8 hp) electric motor
  • Top Speed: 28 mph (45 km/h)
  • Battery: 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery
  • Electric Range: Up to 47 miles (75 km)
  • Charging Time: ~3 hours on a standard 230V household socket
  • Dimensions: 2.41 m long, 1.39 m wide, and 1.52 m tall
  • Curb Weight: 485 kg (1,069 lbs)

Design Highlights

  • Cost-Efficient Bodywork: Symmetrical body panels reduce manufacturing costs (the passenger and driver doors use identical moulds but open in opposite directions).
  • Ultra-Compact Turning Circle: Features a 7.2-meter turning circle, making it easier to manoeuvre and park in tight spots.
  • Accessibility: Accessible without a full driving license in various European countries for drivers starting from age 14 to 16.

If you’d like to look into specific trims (such as the My Ami Buggy or commercial My Ami Cargo) or compare it with similar micro-EVs like the Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks Electric, let me know!
