I've driven one (The original, Citroen EV AMi, of which this is a badge engineered version) in Madrid. It's well suited to European cities, and probably to NY, Boston, Pittsburgh, SF, and some others of that type of layout. That thing is a glorified golf cart, as many have said. Naked tubular frame covered by a cheap plastic shell, about as safe as the aforementioned golf cart, but street legal. nearly zero equipment beyond a cigarette lighter power socket. In Europe it costs around 7.000€, and I find that a huge ripoff. I could probably put together such a low tech cart for under 2.000€, not hyperbole. With economies of scale, Stellantis can probably make them for under 1.500€ or less. They want to sell them in the U.S. for 10x the mark-up...
Well, at least there is the legendary Stellantis reliability.
/S
That rope looks pretty safe...
I could see retirees in South Carolina and Florida gated communities driving around with this and trying to out-Karen each other
That's all this is for. The current options are Chinese Scooters, which are only $4K.
