, this electric pod captures the zeitgeist for shared urban transport. It is tiny – 2.41 metres long, 1.39 metres wide and 1.52 metres high – and the 5.5kWh battery has a range of 44 miles and offers speeds of up to 28 mph. The Ami is technically a quadricycle so it can legally be driven in Europe by those over the age of 16 without a driving licence. The design is more akin to personal electric gadgets with its modular structure.
The MetroSnap is a clever multi-use electric transport concept by Rinspeed. The Swiss marque is on a mission to explore the possibilities of shared transport systems with a realistic eye on what can economically work for us in the future. The vehicle is autonomous and modular, evolving the firm’s Snap and Microsnap concepts with an eye on series production. The core is based on a chassis that can support multiple cabins and allow them to be swapped about – depending on usage.
