A French automaker created an adorable, $6,600 electric city car that's so small, you don't need a license to drive it

The French automaker Citroën just unveiled an adorable new electric vehicle called the Ami.

French automaker Citron just announced the Ami, a fun-sized electric vehicle the company hopes will entice city dwellers to ditch their trusty bikes, scooters, mopeds, and buses.
Part electric car and part moped, the Ami is classified as a "quadricycle" in France, meaning unlicensed drivers as young as 14 can drive it. That's all part of Citron's plan to make the Ami as convenient and accessible as possible.
Citron also hopes that the Ami's price tag will make it a hit with commuters and other urbanites the vehicle can be leased long term for $22 per month, rented on-demand for $0.29 per minute, or bought outright for just $6,600. All of those prices are translated from euros, of course, because like so many great and practical city cars, the Ami won't make it to the US anytime soon.
