It seems to<\/span> be the week for cheap EVs. Right after the production model of the Slate electric truck<\/a> was revealed, complete with a bump in range, a new European entrant in electric mobility is launching out of stealth mode today and plans to bring its own affordable yet stylish rides to market.<\/p>\n

Amble’s founders worked at Audi<\/a> and Ford<\/a>, started Cowboy<\/a> ebikes, and cofounded Forpeople, the creative agency that works for, among others, Nio EVs<\/a>, Arc\u2019teryx<\/a>, and Herman Miller<\/a>. Indeed, Amble’s design lead, Julian Hoenig, worked on the infamously canceled Apple car<\/a>, which goes some way to explaining how this, the $25,000 Amble One, looks like it could have driven straight out of Cupertino, despite hailing from Lisbon, Portugal.<\/p>\n

The Amble One is a street-legal, stripped-down electric buggy designed for the kind of places where a normal car feels out of place. Coastal paths, private estates, and those dusty tracks between luxury hotel villas and the sea. Think of it as if Apple decided it was going to design a golf cart, then took the project even further.<\/p>\n

The company calls the One a new category of lightweight electric vehicle for short-range mobility, and the specs show a degree of seriousness: a range of more than 60 miles, a top speed capped at 40 mph, a five-hour charge from any standard home socket, and a curb weight under 450 kilograms (992 pounds).<\/p>\n

That last figure matters more than it sounds. To qualify as an L7e vehicle<\/a> in Europe (the category that allows it to drive on public roads without being treated as a car), the Amble One must stay under 450 kilograms. \u201cThis is really hard,\u201d says Adrien Roose, CEO and cofounder. \u201cIf you take a car and just shrink it, it doesn’t work.\u201d The Amble One’s open, doorless design isn’t just an aesthetic choice that apes competitors such as the electric Moke<\/a>, it seems. It’s part of what helps make the weight target achievable.<\/p>\n

The founding team has pedigree. Roose cofounded Cowboy, one of the more recognized premium electric bike<\/a> brands. Hoenig spent years at Audi, working on the RSQ, A4, R8, and Q3, then joined Apple’s design team, where he worked on the Apple Watch<\/a>, Vision Pro<\/a>, and Apple’s Project Titan car program. Michael Tropper cofounded Forpeople, a 120-person creative agency whose clients include InterContinental Hotels. Keeping the tourism theme, Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio Uva, who serves as Amble’s chairman, restored S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o do Barrocal<\/a>, a 1,927-acre luxury Alentejo estate in Portugal that has become one of Europe’s acclaimed rural retreats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
