Can I install a solar panel? so that while it is running it also charge the battery. Can I also install a bigger battery capacity for longer running time?
Where did you buy the thumb screws for the window from? It was an utter nightmare fitting mine on for the first time so they'd be a major help when I take them off for the summer. No help to the previous owner who messed up the screws putting one on that the thread is completely missing from one >.>
Ah they actually came from my old set of twy-rain windows. Maybe you could contact them and see if they’ll send you some. I think he sells the windows on eBay still.
Question Mr Kirby, I just bought a 2017 twizy with a power box with Bluetooth, I have it ser on Sport mode, but I don't get the warning biip and red light when full throttle it. Any tips?
Good evening, I am watching you and congratulations for the very nice videos you are uploading. I would like to ask you if you can help me choose power unit for the twizy. I'm thinking of buying one without batteries and I would like you to tell me in your opinion what is the ideal power unit to have maximum autonomy and enough power. Do you think that I have to change the electric motor?
Yo andy my friend has got a spare PylonTech 2.4kWh Lithium-Ion Battery that was initially going to be used as a bank for solar panels! do you think it would be possible to put in to a future E moto/bike build?
It really depends on what sort of current it can supply, 2.4kWH isn’t huge for a small electric vehicle. The one in the quad will only supply about 40A which is only about 2880W power.
Hi Andy, I've been a keen follower of your channel for a long time now and and thanks to you I am a serious DIY Ebike builder too and have just completed a solar array and power wall during lock down! Also I must say I am 55 years young and loving your play list on Itunes, in particular Somethings not clear!! Banging tune!! Keep up the good work, all the best Jules
Hi, Andy! Thank you for your channel! I expect my Twizy from South Korea and see LED headlights on your Twizy. I want to change the original with incandescent lamps to LED, too. Is it size 7'' or 5.75''?
Do you know if your going to leave it in sports mode you don't need to bring your power box everywhere. Once the car is set up on sports mode it doesnt need the power box ! I found that out by accident lol
Yes but be careful it won’t switch down profiles when the motor gets hot, the box needs to be connected for that otherwise you could overheat the motor.
I tried it last night, I turned the power box off and ran flat out for about 45 mins and consumed almost the entire battery, motor got to 120 degrees and a warning came up on the screen when I turned the power box back on and it reduced the power severely. So I think you’ll be ok😅 although I do like seeing the information on the screen when I’m driving!
@@andykirby you nut case ! I take mine off because I might run to the shops and don't want someone to steal it or I couldn't be bothered to hide it every time. When I say I run to the shops I'm literally just driving for no more than 20 minutes round trip lol.
I've got a twizy too. didn't do the upgrade tough. use it every day and i like it! battery lasts 60km low speed, 40km high speed so its not optimal. 73 es cul ON5GS Dirk
Hi Andy, the Twizy videos are great - is there any sort of solar panel that could fit on the roof permanently and be used to charge up when you park up outside? We did the "Twizy Tour" in Lanzarote last year - 30 degrees with no doors on super smooth roads surrounded by lava, it was brilliant!
It would be cool. There’s not really any small panel that would provide a useful amount of charge, I mean if you covered the roof it would probably take about 12 days to fully charge in the summer! I have thought about this, it would be better than nothing though if you could integrate a panel into the roof nicely. Twizy Tour sounds brilliant! I’d love that!
@@andykirby I agree Andy and solar panels are getting more efficient at an increasing speed these days! Is there an email address and I will send you the Twizy Tour link, the Lanzarote video we all starred in (!) and some photos of how good it was.
I wish we could get these in America. That lenses works pretty good. Almost any music on the TH-cam isn’t pleasing to me. Almost would rather have silence.
Thanks man, I used to get vocalists in all the time but for these tracks I’ve just been using samples from Splice (online sample library) I’m always up for a remix though if any vocalists contact me🙂 good thing about using cleared royalty free samples of course is the royalties go to the producer.
Hi Andy, hope you are both keeping well and safe. Just been looking at your links as I’m about to start my Twizy upgrade based on your experience. Can you add more resource links for the upgrade you did such as wheels, spacers, arches and the main lights? BTW just listening to your new mix on Amazon Prime Music 🎧
Yello Andy, I am a recent subscriber...like million's of people I have been trying to comply with Lock Down recommendation's. How much did your Twizzy cost to get it the way you have it now? like you I have been trying to live in a more Enviro freindly way...My main form of transport is My Carrera Vulcan e-MTB. I let my DL expire a couple of years ago but after watching some of your exellent video's i have been considering getting an E-SPV. Can you recommend a budget freindly starter machine please. Hope you and your's are keeping well.
Hi there, glad you are enjoying the videos! I reckon it’s cost about £1.5-2K with all the mods. I highly recommend the Twizy, even if the range is a bit on the low side, I don’t think there’s anything else out there that’s as small and efficient other than finding an old Citroen or Peugeot 106 conversion.
Great vlog loving the Twizy looks really good with those lights so strange though with all the roads empty. Charging it from solar is fantastic. Great audio track must give that a download when it's available. Watching the starling train was cool good lens on that camera. Stay safe and see you in the next.
Thanks mate! Yeah the star link is interesting, I wonder how long it will be before it’s up an d running. Could do with some gigabit internet around here, it takes ages uploading 4K videos out in the sticks! That track should be hitting the stores in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled😁 stay safe!
Business idea, Deliveroo and Uber Eats cyclist are in need of a low(ish)priced ,long distance,throttle bike. Loads of them build their own,but they look a bit dodgy and usually don’t have enough range. There’s definitely a market there...hope u and the chickens are well.
andy kirby Hybrid is another British band that go back about 20 years. I know you would love their earlier stuff. Here’s a playlist to the latest album :- th-cam.com/play/PLCpY4vmIn0wy824U06V4Y8ziiMeRopS8w.html
andy kirby Hybrid’s most famous (but unknown song) is probably this tune (featured in Kevin and Perry Go Large) th-cam.com/video/ncW9gYi9s3E/w-d-xo.html
Gonna get a twizy next week, i just gotta have it. :) Even though in Norway we get extreme winters. Cant resist, and ur videos m8 keeps us wanting to buy one.
@@andykirby it is shockingly beautiful here. I drove a truck for a while, I've seen just about every town in the US and Montana is the most beautiful. So if you ever tour the states come here last because it will make everything pale in comparison.
Please protect yourself while coronavirus is happening. Face mask - Gloves and don't take your Twizy car out because social distancing will be nearly impossible. Stay safe!! :)
Hi mate, thanks! That’s interesting I thought there was quite a bit of space around the kick but maybe it could be solved with mastering. It’s a 909 kick (TR8S at least)
Hi Andy iam Robbie is there any chance on your Web site at the checkout could you put up pay buy by PayPal at all iv got a PayPal account with credit I wanted to buy the ebike kit for £739 if its possible thanks again robbie
Hi, I can send you an email with a paypal request if you want, we don’t usually take Paypal because their practises with small businesses are terrible but I do understand people have money in their accounts they want to spend, send me a quick email me if you want me to send the request.
Just turned 50 and just discovered Serato and DJ controllers - been enjoying mixing all favourite dance choons from the 90’s.
Great isnt it😁
andy kirby I ended up with a Numarc Mixtrack Pro 3, they are about £80 second hand and use free version of serato

@@andykirby I wrote to them, and they said theirs don't use screws and to speak to Renault :S
Do the fatter tyres help with the suspension feel? I've read the standard setup is harsh.
Nice to see a Local you-tuber on the roads I've been on, I will buy one of your Full Ebikes one day!
Haha excellent! 👍
Question Mr Kirby, I just bought a 2017 twizy with a power box with Bluetooth, I have it ser on Sport mode, but I don't get the warning biip and red light when full throttle it. Any tips?
Yeah this is normal. No way around it.
@@andykirby you get warning sound, I don't. Is the box working fine do you think?
@@andykirby After a good tip from Kenneth, i checked the settings, they were on light, lol. I put them to max, and its a new world. :)

Hi. Great video! What wheel arches do you have for the larger wheels please?
So I just spoke to renult and they say I will need a full license and insurance for the car what has been your experience with this
Yes you do. I’ve got a full license and insurance, it’s just like a normal car.
What wheels have you put on the Twizy, they look like 4 stud, I was going to put smart wheels on originally
Yeah you need adapters to fit 4 stud, they are pretty expensive but they also add about 25mm to the width which makes it look and handle loads better.
Nice twizy. What is the top speed of this creature pls?
How do you get your driving (FPV) footage so smooth/stabilised? I've studied your list of equipment and nothing jumps out? :-)
GoPro Hero8 is what I’m using now. All digital stabilisation, amazing how far action camera tech has come 😁
@@andykirby Thanks again :-)

What make brand are those white speaker's?
You mean the Yamaha HS8??

nice catch on the satellites mate!
Cheers mate, thought you’d like that but didn’t know if you would be watching 😅 I was gonna text you those pics! I bet you got some good ones?
Where were the new Twizy headlights from?
Good question, I think eBay. There’s lot of different ones, they call them LED daymakers.

Hi Andy , I’m Darren here from Malaysia, would mind to share about how u mod ur twizy ?
Good vlog Andy. Just wondered, do you get someone to make vocals for your tracks?

The summer beast mobile is out👍 Btw if you need heating oil top now as its 19p litre 😀

The Spotify stuff is mint mate i love listening to it.
Thanks mate! Glad you like it!
I still want to get a Twizy.... three years later. Lol
Video’s like this don’t help. Ha ha
u wont regret! yesterday i washed it. high pressure water inside and outside, no problem haha. driving a twizy is fun if the roads are not too bumpy
Is That real ufo?this Little white light From all right?But this car is awesome fast Butt the battery was so fast down how far mile with twizzy car?
Nice car, nice mods, nice music!
Loving the tunes man top work
Bought the track on google playmusic such a great tune
Thanks! Really appreciate that😁

I reckon thats a great idea, I see them on too many shitty death traps.
Looks a lot less congested.... 😁
(almost North Korean; a lot of road and no-one on it...)
I'm still looking for a Twizy (a non- lease battery one)
I just wanna say that was a pretty smooth song transition
Future automobiles 💛💛💛
same app i got for dj decks
Love that music !! very hypnotic.
Thanks!
So glad this tune is now on Amazon.
Only 99p (I would have paid more)
This is way up there with Whoomp there it is.

Nice! Funny I don’t remember that but I love that sort of 90’s dance vibe with the 2 step style beats, a bit like Olives, your not alone kind of beat.
Dude! That thing has lambo doors and racecar windows??!! I want wone right now!
Believe me those sats are moving at one heck of speed.....
Yeah they are😁

Get cheap electric scooter 28mph lifan eco etc see what speed you can get out of that bosch hub motor i bet it can easily do 50-60mph

You need a 100 mm gap on that panel ! It will get way hot like that
Love the tunes. Just right for this weather

Hi mate, thanks! That’s interesting I thought there was quite a bit of space around the kick but maybe it could be solved with mastering. It’s a 909 kick (TR8S at least)
Bigger wheels = more friction = less mileage :/
It’s not actually decreased the range that much, the handling Is way better and worth sacrificing a couple of extra miles range.
You need to say it how it is mate. The world is fucked up right now. ;)
Basically yeah!
...hot rod without rod, cool
I just pulled up Inna töňķä
Who performs your lyrics on your tunes ? Is it your wife
Haha no she can’t sing 😁 I use splice, it’s a service for producers/DJs that provides lots of different samples.
@@andykirby cool always wondered... You sure about the wife? Auto tune works wonders nowadays Cheryl Cole made a career from it 🤣
Good tunes :)
Thanks mate 😁
There was me thinking it was a Twizy vid.
Bit of everything this one😁
