Instead, it takes a stab at the belief that cars have gotten too big, too fast, and perhaps could use a bit of a downgrade in both departments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Amble One is a premium, street-legal buggy with a gorgeous neo-retro design that\u2019s currently being marketed to locations where traditional cars are unnecessary or too large, like hotels or resorts. Developed by a team of alumni from Apple, Audi, and Cowboy, the compact EV is intended to be the solution for a society overrun by oversized, overpowered trucks and SUVs. And it could be coming to a neighborhood near you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Rather than competing directly with conventional automobiles, Amble wanted to create an entirely new category of vehicle intended to become a household\u2019s second vehicle rather than its primary car, CEO Adrien Roose told me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac2 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote c39lj10\">\n<div class=\"c39lj11\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup c39lj12 _19wv7tc9\">Rather than competing directly with conventional automobiles, Amble wanted to create an entirely new category of vehicle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">\u201cIf we look at the stats, most European and American families have, like, two cars on average,\u201d Roose said. \u201cThe reality is that there is one car that brings the emotional freedom or the actual freedom that you need to go on a highway and to go on vacation or to go on long weekends.

and minimal, but with a sturdy design perfect for off-road trails and beach paths. Built as an open-air vehicle with no doors, it features folding front seats, a digital display, and physical controls utilizing leather and cork befitting of its Portuguese origins. There\u2019s also a front cargo rack for luggage or other storage, and the rear seats fold flat for surfboards or other gear. Built-in mounts lets you add baskets, straps, mirrors, and other accessories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">With a 15 kW motor and an 11kWh battery, it won\u2019t win any drag or long-distance races. The Amble One caps out at 40 mph (65 km\/h) and can travel upwards of 62 miles (100 km) on a single charge. It can fill up its battery from a standard wall outlet in five hours and has a curb weight of under 450 kg (992 lbs).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Roose described weight as one of the company\u2019s greatest engineering challenges because the vehicle is being homologated under Europe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/microcar-coalition.com\/l7e-explained\">L7e quadricycle regulations<\/a>. To qualify, the complete vehicle\u2014including the battery\u2014must weigh less than 450 kilograms. Its a truly demanding target, with Roose describing it as the source of some of the team\u2019s most intense engineering debates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac2 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote c39lj10\">\n<div class=\"c39lj11\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup c39lj12 _19wv7tc9\">With a 15 kW motor and an 11kWh battery, it won\u2019t win any drag or long-distance races<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The company is beginning with a resort-oriented vehicle, but Roose says it\u2019s been intentionally engineered for local roads as well. Looking further ahead, the ambition is to introduce a broader family of low-speed vehicles that collectively address short-distance transportation. During our conversation, Roose showed me a rendering of a version of the vehicle with doors and windows that looked like a cross between a dune buggy and <a href=\"https:\/\/mokeamerica.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOornu5v35t9ADQPgz92Rt0xThFM525481v2VNoGLGIWm_bs9DzFk\">a Mini Moke<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">But Roose would prefer a more upscale comparison than the breezy runabout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">\u201cThe inspiration for this vehicle comes initially from the Lunar Rover, but they also looked into older 4&#215;4 like the G-Wagen, which is very famous for its very flat surfaces and other such vehicles,\u201d Roose said. \u201cSome people could call it a glorified golf cart, but it\u2019s really in between in terms of platform. If you look at the battery, it\u2019s three to four times the range of a golf cart.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1 _1xorkac0

comparison makes sense given the team Amble has assembled. In addition to Roose, who used to helm the premium <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/21454206\/cowboy-3-electric-bike-review-price-features\">Belgian e-bike company Cowboy<\/a>, the company\u2019s leadership team includes founder and chairman Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio Uva, a Portuguese hotelier and entrepreneur best known for transforming his eighth-generation ancestral estate into <a href=\"https:\/\/barrocal.pt\/estate\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o do Barrocal<\/a>, an acclaimed luxury farm retreat in the Alentejo region.

However, an unexpectedly enthusiastic response since the launch of Amble One has caused the team to reconsider its rollout schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">\u201cI think we are just going to be forced to adapt our plans and accelerate the deployment of the street legal version in the US,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div style=\"position:relative\">\n<div class=\"_1044qizj\">\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.332977\" id=\"dmcyOmltYWdlOjk2MjI4OQ==\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/Founders_Group_Shot.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"2805\" data-pswp-width=\"3739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Amble\u2019s leadership team, left to right, Michael Trooper, Adrien Roose, Julian Hoenig, and Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio Uva.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;filter: url(%23b);)\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/Founders_Group_Shot.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>Amble\u2019s leadership team, left to right, Michael Trooper, Adrien Roose, Julian Hoenig, and Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio Uva.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Customers can currently reserve the Amble One with a $100 deposit, with deliveries targeted for 2028.

Instead, it has partnered with an established contract manufacturer that Roose declined to name but described as a serious Tier 1 automotive supplier employing roughly 1,100 people and already producing sophisticated electric vehicle components, including motors and other systems. Motors come from Germany and reducers from Italy, while the batteries are currently sourced from China. The current plan is to export the initial vehicles to the United States from Europe before eventually establishing American manufacturing for US customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">When the Amble One finally reaches customers, it may find itself with plenty of competition. There are a growing number of mico-car and golf cart offerings for interested customers, including Microlino, Citro\u00ebn Ami, Fiat Topolino, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/12\/22\/nx-s1-5644937\/kei-cars-tiny-vehicles\">a growing enthusiast subculture<\/a> around Japanese kei cars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Unfortunately for Amble, Americans are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/the-stepback-newsletter\/756967\/giant-trucks-suvs-car-bloat\">drawn to larger \u2014 and increasingly more dangerous \u2014 vehicles<\/a>. Just about every truck and SUV sold today is bigger than they were 20 years ago. And those behemoths make up about 80 percent of vehicles sold in the US. Experts have warned that the bigger the vehicle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/11\/14\/23960624\/truck-suv-hood-height-pedestrian-death-report-iihs\">the bigger the risk<\/a> to pedestrians and cyclists of injury or death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Amble\u2019s strategy won\u2019t be to target affluent buyers who want to broadcast their environmental bona fides, like the Toyota Prius, but rather people who genuinely enjoy driving and also appreciate thoughtful design, but would prefer something smaller than your average F-150.
