The ultra-compact vehicle only has a top speed of 28 miles per hour, which means in many countries, it can be operated even by people without a driver's licence for cars.

The unusual specs make the Ami One concept an alternative to hiring an electric bike or scooter to get around a city on a rainy day, or using public transport. For lack of established naming tradition, Citroën is calling it an "urban mobility object".
Citroën believes that based on current legislation, European customers could drive the Ami One Concept on average from the age of 16, with or without a licence. The French automaker designed the zero-emissions vehicle primarily to be available on-demand through an app for trips ranging from five minutes to five hours. It would have a range of 65 miles and can be charged either at public charging stations or at home.

While the car is only a concept, it is an advanced one, with a prototype said to be available for test drive at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show from 7-17 March. Citroën intends to rent out the vehicle through the existing car, bike and scooter sharing Free2Move carshare app.
