Portuguese startup Amble has unveiled the Amble One, a retro-style electric buggy designed for short-distance travel on beaches, at resorts, in residential communities, and small neighborhoods.
The model was developed by a team of former employees from Apple, Audi, Cowboy, and design studio forpeople, with the goal of offering a simpler and lighter alternative to conventional automobiles.
With an open body, no doors, and weighing less than 450 kg (992 lbs), the Amble One is certified under the European L7e category for heavy quadricycles. The vehicle is powered by a 15 kW (20 hp) electric motor, reaches a top speed of 65 km/h (40 mph), and offers a driving range of around 100 km (62 miles) thanks to a 12 kWh battery that can be fully recharged in approximately five and a half hours.
Its design was inspired by classic models such as the Mini Moke and vehicles like NASA‘s Lunar Rover. The buggy features independent suspension, all-terrain tires, and can tackle slopes of up to 25%. It also includes a modular dashboard compatible with bicycle-style accessories such as smartphone and GPS mounts.
The Amble One will start at €20,000 (approximately US$25,000). The first units, scheduled for 2027, will be delivered to luxury hotels and resorts, while deliveries to private customers in Europe and the United States are expected to begin in 2028.
The company also confirmed that it is already developing a second model featuring a hardtop roof and removable doors, aimed at family use.
