Gersende Gloanec, 15, drives to school in the neighboring town of Fouesnant every day with her little sister.
What emerges from the garage is a small gray two-seater blob that automaker Citroën doesn’t even call a car but a “mobility object.” With a maximum speed 28 mph, the Ami or “friend” is actually classed as a quadricycle. Think four-wheel moped. No driver’s license required.“I’m too young to have a driving license, but you can drive an Ami from the age of 14,” she said.
“At the beginning it was strange to be out on the roads like this because I’d only ridden a bike before but it gives me more independence,” Gloanec said.
As the Ami’s publicity puts it: “Yes, it looks like a toaster. Which is why you can buy it at the electrical goods store.” Citroën is not selling it in the usual dealerships at all, in fact, only in electrical goods stores and online.
The cost: just over $8,000 minus a thousand-buck government eco-bonus — cheaper than a normal car - link - picture link - (€6000) - John Laurenson - link - more like this - link
