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.

Citroën says the pint-sized EV will help people move around cities, serving as an alternative to bicycles, mopeds, scooters, and public transit.

It's 100% electric and packs a 5.5 kWh battery that offers a range of up to 43 miles, according to Citroën. That's not a ton of range, but plenty to get from A to B in an urban area.

Parking should be a breeze, since the tiny city car comes in at roughly 95 inches long — around 11 inches shorter than the ultra-compact Smart ForTwo.

Plus, Citroën claims the Ami can reach a peppy 28 mph, so it should keep up with traffic on city streets.

Sound too good to be true? It sort of is — like most cute and practical European city cars, this one's not slated to be sold in the US.

In France, however, since the Ami is classified as a "light quadricycle" rather than a car, it's accessible even to unlicensed drivers.

Drivers as young as 14 can pilot the Ami in France.

The Ami's small size, and the fact you can drive one without a license, makes it super convenient for getting around cities. And it's cheap, too.

Drivers can rent the Ami long term for the equivalent of $22 per month, after a down payment roughly $2,900.

Alternatively, they can pay roughly $0.29 per minute to rent the car through Free2Move, a car-sharing service.

Approximately $6,600 buys an Ami outright. You can order one online, and Citroën will deliver it to your door.

It's no surprise that the Ami features a pretty bare-bones interior, since it's not meant for long trips.

Amis come with a basic display and a phone dock, and owners can customize their quadricycle by installing various accessories provided by Citroën, including a dash-mounted storage tray, mats, and storage nets.

The first customer deliveries will start in June, and the Ami will be available to rent through Free2Move in the spring in Paris.
