French brand has designed the ultimate city car that reduce pollution and reduces demand for car parking spaces, but there’s a catch.[br][br] [br][br]Citroen AMI One concept Source:Supplied[br][br]Citroen is giving those without a licence a chance to drive.[br][br]The French brand has revealed its new AMI One concept ahead of its official debut at the coming Geneva motor show.[br][br]The AMI One is an ultras compact two seat vehicle — officially known as a quadric cycle — that is only 2.5 metres in length. A Toyota Corolla hatch measures about 4.4 metres long and a Smart car about 2.7 metres.[br][br][br] [br][br]Citroen AMI One concept measures just 2.5 metres long Source:Supplied[br]Citroen’s concept measures just 1.5 metres wide and tall and weighs just 425kg.[br][br]The AMI One concept is powered by a small electric motor coupled with a lithium ion battery giving the vehicle a 100km claimed range.[br][br]The AMI One can be driven without a licence in France because it is classed as a quadric cycle and it must adhere to strict conditions including a weight below 450kg and a maximum top speed of 45km/h.[br][br]In France a quadric cycle must not be driven on highways including major ring roads in Paris. The same rules apply in the UK, allowing 16-year olds to punt around town in tiny quadric cycles.[br][br] [br][br]Citroen AMI One concept can allow younger people to drive before they are allowed to get a regular vehicle licence Source:Supplied[br][br]The Renault Twizy is the most well known quadric cycle in production. The supermini weighs only 450kg and is powered by a pint sized 13kW/57Nm electric motor. Prices in the UK start from 7690 pounds ($14,012) which is more than Australia’s cheapest car the Mitsubishi Mirage ($13,490 before on roads).[br][br] [br][br][br]The Renault Twizy is the most well known electric quadricycle in production source:Supplied[br]However, in Australia strict design rules currently prevent quadricycles being sold. There are numerous safety concerns after a similar vehicle was crash tested by Euro NCAP in 2007 with devastating results.[br][br]Citroen envisages the AMI One to be strictly used for short urban commutes, most likely as part of a car sharing platform. It could even compete with bike sharing companies such as Lime electric bikes.[br][br] [br][br][br]The Renault Twizy can reverses park to the kerb source:Supplied[br][br]Quadricycles are so short they can fit two in a regular car spot, ideal for built up urban areas. European cities are also cracking down on car pollution and taxing vehicles accordingly — in some cases banning fossil fuel cars from certain areas.[br][br]In these situations quadricycles like the AMI One start to make more sense.
