Welcome to our new toy electric car - the Renault Twizy. It’s just fantastic fun!
We show you a walkaround of it and take it for a drive. But there is one must-have upgrade…. Can you guess what it is yet?
You can also see our custom trailer for it. It’s still so light even a Radio Flyer toy Tesla can tow it.

The second seatbelt is really meant for people who bought Twizy's with no doors, so they don't fall out going around corners 😂
But I got one myself, great little things!
Nice fun video. Twizy owner myself. Never get bored of driving it.
Perfect excuse to go car shopping... You'll need an EV6 or Ioniq5 to charge the Twizzy!
The opening scene with the toy Tesla hauling the trailer with the Twizy on it was hilarious! I couldn’t stop 😂 😂 😂
The Twizy is an awesome urban vehicle! After almost a decade it’s time for a new generation with current battery tech. Would like to see more complete weather protection (might need an HVAC system) and a narrower body to better cut through traffic (might need tilting mechanism to compensate for the decreased track).
You need an Arcimoto
A carver electric is pretty close to that spec. Three wheels, the front is enclosed, seats 2 and tilts like a motorbike while the rear stays level and has the drivetrain. Quite expensive though, all low speed vehicles seem to be because of the low volumes produced.
@@CampGareth Indeed. I like the Carver. Too bad it’s not available in North America. Hope that changes, and I’m also keeping an eye on the Nimbus.
As a car, I’ve never seen the point in the Twizzy, but you’ve just made a case for why one would buy one! Just some sort of weekend/summer smile toy! That if we don’t take it seriously, it’s then that we can ‘get’ it!
Yep exactly!
There are a whole lot of vehicles that have never made sense to me. The primary one being anything with 3 wheels; which have all the drawbacks of both a normal car and a motorcycle, with the advantages of neither (the exception being the awesome Piaggio MP3, please, please, please make these in EV version!). The Twizy seems unique enough to fill a niche that most didn't even know existed.
Saw one of those for the first time in Bergen, NO last year. It was parked between two other compact cars and still looked TINY. Awesome.
A personal favorite of mine is the Oakley Design Twizy F1, but I would love to get my hands on even a standard twizzy one day
You freaking kidding me that little tesla can pull that trailer 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
Yep genuinely!
@@RSEV Stacey said "they're pushing that off camera!", but tow line is tight, so I don't think so!
The latest aftermarket windows are very good and worth the investment in the uk 👍😁
Where can we find those please Doug?
@@steveearley8352 I honestly can’t remember. But EVM has mentioned them on his channel and I think Andy Kirby has too. I’ve been meaning to go back and check. Because they look very good compared to earlier efforts
@@dougowt Thanks Doug
That looks like a real fun lil car
I have the same JBL speaker, you can fit it next to you by the door and seat and access the volume etc..
Be great as a tow car for a motor home
Trailer is more impressive than the Twizzy, probably more use too
That is so cool. Wouldn’t it be great getting side windows? Love the review 👍
If you get the chance please check out a Carver Electric. It's another fun vehicle with 3 wheels where the cabin tilts like a motorbike. Slightly more practical than the twizy even because it has a boot and a fully enclosed cabin with a fabric convertible roof over the rear seat.
It's much slower than it looks: 45kph I think. Shame as it looks as though it'd do about 80mph. Otherwise good concept: saw it at Fully Charged Show.
It’s better than the BMW i3 - You can open the door to get out from the back seat.
It would be great if you explained why Renault did not fit windows since the lack of them stops it being an all-weather vehicle. I thought that the European regulations for "quadracycles" might prevent them being fitted but apparently that is not the problem because the Citroen Ami has windows.
They’re an optional extra 💁♂️
Awesome vlog.
With the absence of an electric Carver, the Twizzy is the most fun.
I was trying to remember the name of that car when I found your comment, an electric Carver is now available
@@gavinm892 There was an electric version in the plans from a Danish manufacturer called Lynx, with the E-Swing, but that sadly went quiet a while ago.
Oh I think there is an electric Carver in the works now, but limited to... 80kph I think? Maybe less? [Edit] Ouch, 45 kph. 😔
@@TheJAMF I know, I was also disappointed by that but I guess they have identified their optimum niche market. Perhaps a faster version could be on the cards in the future, who knows?
ZOOM!
They look like such fun but I assume the reason they aren't more popular is the reason I don't have one. It couldn't replace a car so you either buy it as a toy or to replace a bike and I think for most the price is too high for that.
Bough one 4 years ago 500 miles on clock £5500, now 4yrs later It is worth £8000 go figure…?
I wonder if the motor would fit in an Amy ? Now that would be fun.
Ok Richard here's a challenge get a corbin sparrow ev 20k back in the day go on do a video.🤣🤣
Nice video as always! ,could you maybe also check the Citroen Ami electric urban car? Is a the same category as the Twizzy.
Talking to Mat Watson about a drag race v Ami 😂
@@RSEV love it!
I would call it “twizzler” like the candy brand
Are you from Europe? Not hard for European to get a Twizy.
i love and i want
Should be named 'Igwetir'
Tin Lizzy
You can get "windows" for it I understand. Do the doors lock ?
IIRC there are Korean spec "windows", that are hard plastic.
No, the doors don’t lock.
Mine has a lockable glove box which I keep the handbook and sunglasses in (no sun visor in twizy 🤦♂️) but no you wouldn’t want to leave anything valuable in. Great for popping into town for local shops, but my wife moans it takes her longer, as everyone wants to talk to her about the twizy!! 🤪
Want!
Can I have the little teslapls
We can drive these in France without a license. Is it the same in the UK?
I think here we need a motorbike licence or something like that
On the continent they sell a Twizy 45. Which has a max speed of 30mph which I believe as young as 16 year olds can drive. In the UK a slightly more powerful version, the Twizy 80 is only available. Top speed of 52mph & full driving licence required to drive it.
omg hahaha
😊🍿👍🎶
Great reviews, I'm also a Tesla Fan ( waiting for m3 sr+ in november 😊) can you test how many Pizza Boxes 😁 you can put on the back place? 😁 this car is great for this and at 50 miles autonomy... hm ... I can imagine that is very profitable 😃 So is Pizza Time !!! 😎
You dented the toy tesla :(
I know 🤦♂️ but it’s well attested already after about 5 years of abuse.
In a future episode we will refurbish and repaint it 😙
You'll freeze yo az off in winter.
😂
This looks really good fun but they now do an electric Carver, which would be even more so. Hopefully you will have one on here in due course. carver.earth/en/ much slower but I'd argue, more fun and it has windows.
