Not far off a month over my lead date for the pop, cycling 20 miles daily on my work commute and weather is starting to turn, really hope I hear from them soon. People at work took the piss but the ami seems like luxury compared to getting on the bike in the rain at 5am every morning!

I like the fact that this video wasn't a 'staged' journey. It was a real use of the Ami in a real situation, not a false trip made for dramatic purposes, with fake jeopardy designed purely to fit a dubious agenda. People want to see the vehicle used in genuine day-to-day situations. Nothing went wrong, but that doesn't invalidate the data. If anything, it's MORE important. Banal is good. We like the mundane. Far too many vehicle owners forget what they're driving for; often they're going out simply because they're bored, because it's something to do, and not because they have a real need to get from A to B to accomplish C. So, well done for not faking your video in order to generate Views. A vehicle's only really settled into your life when you can take it entirely for granted; if driving it is an event in itself, it's still too much of a new toy to have been a vital acquisition.

Yep. I'm based in Yorkshire [north of England]; thinking back to the days of small communities and corner shops before out-of-town supermarkets appeared, the Ami could be the modern equivalent of the grocer's bicycle (as ridden by Ger- G- Granville in 'Open All Hours'). A lot of older people near me can't get out and about much, can't afford public transport or taxis, and (like me) have to watch every penny. Supermarket home deliveries are far too expensive to consider. I had to sell my car a decade ago and have only had a bike since then. I run a lot of errands for my neighbours - groceries, Post Office, banking, prescriptions, library returns - which amount to 70 miles a week, every week. It doesn't sound much, but cycling round here is a grim experience. The Ami would be perfect for me - I don't need power or speed, just a way to get out of the lousy weather and stop pedalling (Yorkshire hills only ever go up [that's a joke]) - but the cost is far beyond my meagre means, so I'll stick to my bike and its little two-wheel trailer for the time being. Sigh.😞

Anyhow, just in case whatever it is needs re-affixing... 🙂
