hi there im a Twizy owner, i never ever use the left door always use the right door. For the best experience you want to be in on your own. I only ever use the hand break for parking up so found it abit strange when you where using it, I guess in that aspect its different to a car. Charging is not really an issue as they have a standard 13amp house hold plug for charging. I love my little Twizy so much fun. if you have a powerbox its around 21bhp with a significant difference in performance.
@@quadrant2005 Nice to hear from a Twizy owner, I hope you enjoyed the video - I suppose regarding the handbrake it's just a bit of a subconscious thing, having only driven a few electrics before (I'm usually in petrol manual cars or HGV's) it just came naturally to use the handbrake! I didn't mention it on the video, but Theo has installed a camera system on the right hand side of the vehicle, which makes exiting from that side a little bit fiddly. That being said I did try and enter from the right one or two times and ended up with a USB cable wrapped round myself, but being able to enter the vehicle from both sides is fantastic, and the scissor doors mean you can get out from the tightest of parking spaces. I was impressed at Theo's comments on just how cheap to run the twizy is, and considering it can charge in three hours, that really does increase the usage case. Totally agree on it being better as a single seater too! I drove it for a while by myself and it was a far more comfortable experience! I absolutely loved the twizy, and if circumstances allow, I can absolutely see myself getting one at some point. All the best!
Twizy is an absolute joy and I adore mine. Renault groupe company Mobilize are bringing out its replacement towards the end of 25, the “Duo”. There will also be a “cargo” version , “Bento”. Bigger battery and longer range for both.
I've had one for over 3 years now and my main gripe with it is even though i live in france parts are extremely rare. Renault stopped selling Twizys in September 2023 and parts notably rear brake discs are non available since i got it. The replacement called the mobilze duo is due to arrive soon but i still would keep mine. Even today it puts a smile on my face every time i go out. Little bonus on slippery surfaces being a propulsion it drifts great 😂
@@petarpetrov777 I have to agree with you there, for the price of even the cheapest one you can get an actual *car*, and a decent one at that. I had one commenter say I missed the point of the vehicle and that it's not a toy, but when the price is so high and only useful in certain scenarios, that's all it will ever be for the vast majority of the population.
I don't think much can beat this!

I love it but it's not at all practical.
It was absolutely fantastic fun - But yes, very impractical except in certain circumstances! Thanks for watching
Disagree, it's 99% of the car I need for 99% of the time I need it. I would argue a much larger car that is never fully utilised is less practical.
