Have mentioned before the voiture sans permis system here and now finally another manufacturer has taken up EV Ligier who with Axiom make a lot of these horrible little cars.
They are incredibly noisy so an electric one will be a godsend for the rest of us and save the hearing of many users of these vehicles if they are young enough to have decent hearing of course😂 The article refers to how at one time it was the windows in the countryside who were numerous clients but today the clientele are drawn from a wider pool.

These type vehicles are I think almost uniquely french and can be driven on the roads by those as young as 14 but they are basically not much more than lawn tractors jazzed up with a bit more bodywork. They are deafening often and slow being restricted to 40km and you turn to expect to see some great big vehicle and it will be one of these pretend cars. The ami’s oddity is because it is competitive in this odd market unlike Smart who do make what are proper cars as is generslly thought of as a car in say the U.K.
Electric Versions will undoubtedly be much nicer to drive and be in and may well convert some youngsters to go direct to electric.
