    There are better electric microcars out there like the Toyota C+Pod and the Microleno.

    I saw a ton of these in Italy. Honestly I would love to have one to just cruise around locally, like a slightly more functional golf cart

      Yep, I was in Florence a couple months ago and these and the equally bizarre Renault Twizy were pretty popular little city cars

    Suicide door for the driver because they use the same panel for both sides of the “car”, I love it.

    I bet you could actually import these for off road use to the US since they’re electric (no EPA requirements) and can probably be governed to 20 mph. There are several dealers out there legally importing brand new speed governed Kei vehicles and I’d imagine the process would be similar here.

    Chrysler needs to bring this car for America, as Fiat now receives their Ami. It should be a perfect city ATV in American cities.

      They’re bringing the 500e back to cover that (very) small demand in the US. No reason they’d have both.

      Yeah, I bet there’s a ton of demand for a quadricycle with 90 km of range and a top speed of 45 km/h. All of two people in the US might actually want it.

    I saw a lot of those little Ami cars in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. We wanted to find a way to rent one for a tiny bit, just to experience the thing! Truly, there were quite a few EV Micro cars in those cities. Most are used as runabouts for errands, some are used as delivery vehicles for various businesses, and the rest are… well. Driven about like any other!

    I have a matchbox car of this and Renault Twizzy. No idea why Matchbox made cars of these but I live that they did
