Electric Mobility Meets Surf Culture
Citroën has partnered with iconic surf brand Rip Curl to create a special edition of its popular Ami electric vehicle. This innovative collaboration brings surf culture to urban mobility with a vehicle designed specifically for beach-going enthusiasts.
Designed for the Waves
The Citroën Ami Buggy Rip Curl edition features several modifications that make it perfect for surfers. The vehicle includes custom storage solutions for surfboards, waterproof interior materials, and enhanced drainage systems to handle sand and water. Special all-terrain tires provide better traction on sandy beaches and coastal roads.
Sustainable Beach Transportation
As a fully electric vehicle, the Ami Buggy maintains its eco-friendly credentials while serving the needs of surf communities. With its compact size and zero emissions, it offers an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional beach transportation. The vehicle’s small footprint makes it ideal for navigating crowded coastal towns and finding parking near popular surf spots.
Technical Specifications
The electric buggy maintains the standard Ami’s performance characteristics with a top speed of 45 km/h and range of approximately 75 kilometers per charge. These specifications make it perfect for short trips between home, the beach, and local amenities. The open-body design enhances the outdoor experience while providing practical weather protection.
Future Production Possibilities
While currently presented as a concept vehicle, industry observers note strong potential for commercial production. The collaboration between automotive and surf industries represents a growing trend of lifestyle-focused electric vehicles that cater to specific recreational activities and communities.
