The smallest electric Citroën you can currently buy is called Ami and is a miniscule electric city friend. That little Ami is getting even a bit kinder. This is the Citroën Ami for All, a variant that allows people with one or both legs to not function on the road.
Fiat recently released the first image of the Topolino, a miniscule electric city car that already has two sister models within the Stellantis family: the Citroën Ami and the Opel Rocks Electric. The Opel Rocks Electric is for sale in the Netherlands from €8,499, while the original – the Ami – is not yet for sale in our country. The French show a new variant of that Citroën Ami: the Ami for All. The Citroën Ami for All is a suitable piece of electric urban transport for the disabled. At the moment it is a prototype.
The Citroën Ami for All was developed by Citroën and PIMAS – a company that converts vehicles for people with disabilities – and is currently shining in Paris at the Autonomic fair. The Ami for All is suitable for people who are wheelchair bound. The doors of the Ami for All can be opened further and should make it relatively easy for ‘wheelchairs’ to enter the Ami. In addition, it has manual steering so that people who cannot use one or both legs can also ‘accelerate’ and brake. A button on the steering wheel has also been added to make it easier to use the steering wheel with one hand. The wheelchair itself must not only be able to travel in the Ami for All when folded, you can also attach it to the car.
The Ami for All isn’t the first rather different version of one of Stellantis’ small town rascals. For example, the Rocks Electric appeared as a small electric orderer: the Rocks Electric Kargo.
