> The Ami is available for purchase from €6,000 (including VAT).

That's way cheaper than the €14.995 Estrima Biro [1] that it will be competing with here in the Netherlands.

Is it not similar to the Renault Twizy? That one starts at €7,350 according to wikipedia.

It's more or less the same. But the Twizy can go up to 80 km/hour (well, the model needing a licence).

I love my twizy, it's the perfect city vehicle

Cheaper and it looks much, much better... The Biro looks really cheap, and at that price, you can get a decent full-sized car!
