We've had our Twizy as a commuter vehicle here in sunny Cornwall for 6 years. It gets used every day, Summer, Winter, rain or shine. It's a 2012 and we love it. Parking is never a problem.

I had a Twizy a few years ago and it was amazing fun. I loved it. I had for about 3 years and commuted west end to watford each day on the M1. It did 57 or so on the M1 and had plastic windows. It was just too cold in Winter and was mildly embarrasing. Changed the Twizy for a Smart EV and both cars make amazing commuter transport. It seems that many thousands of people could have cars like this if they were not focused so much on speed and distance.

They are legally classed as a quad vehicle and the general rule is 30 mph for 50 miles range or 50 mph for 30 miles range. Renault racing designed the suspension hence the ride. They also make a one seat cargo version that is rarer. They can be made to go faster if you are prepared to pay and Windows are available if desired.

I seem to recall some of the original motivation for people buying the Reliant Robin was being able to go to and from work on a bleak day whilst afforded better protection from the elements and I *think* you only required a motor cycle license, is that correct? Either way - this concept has SO much opportunity to scale up just a little to provide that type of comfort compared to being exposed to the elements. Properly enclosed cabin, sealed windows (even if they HAVE to be manual), perhaps a heating and cooling system, more comfort oriented seating, etc. If it was given a special category of vehicle it might do well, it might be easier to electrify a journey for an individual or for utility use. Imagine - a solo transport more akin to a motor bike but you can wear better attire and not have to change, easier and more flexible parking and charging, etc. We need *something* to bridge the gap in the city space, not everyone can avail themselves of public transport all the time. Materials, technology and even battery/engine tech are that much further ahead than they were, I'd argue it's time to revisit the concept.

@@michaelbacon561 I was wondering about a semi-rural vehicle that had a bit of road clearance and the batteries down low - and then enclosed with a light but sealed body. The broader idea is to have a vehicle that could be charged with, say, wind/solar (which would possibly be easier to do in a rural setting) and have the vehicle intended for shorter range trips to town, etc. The concept could probably extend to urban environments as well, this might broaden its appeal (it's still niche but would have a wider appeal range). Mix that with the new in-wheel motors that have been in development for about 20 years (and are now starting to appear in prototypes) - if it can be made structurally safe and rigid enough I think it might work. Perhaps a modular design that's semi-configured by the dealer, that may reduce strain on production lines, shipping an national stocks of components; given how modular some vehicles could potentially become this may be the future for parts of the industry, especially if globalisation is in sharp decline as some are predicting.

So I considered the Zoe, for all of 5 minutes, until I realised that a Citroën C1 would cost 2/3 as much to buy, and I wouldn't have to worry about running out of electricity.

Damn, £6.5k is a harsh price especially in the UK. I know it is a different type of car but if you want something that does a shedload of MPG, cheap to tax run & insure without getting clobbered by ULEZ and low emissions charges etc. then get a used prius for the same money. It is a much better offering. However, as you say on a small island with sweet weather, why not - its a bit of fun!

We have a Twizy and own the battery and it's used every work day for a 30km round commute. We live in Cyprus though so have a short winter, even so for the winter months it has perspex side windows from Renault Korea and a heated seat cover. It's been fitted with various upgrades including led headlights, Bluetooth for entertainment and a cup holder! Our Twizy will max out at 85kph which is plenty fast enough as most of the commute is 65kph or lower with just a short stretch of 80. For us it's a great little vehicle. Definitely get one if you do end up moving somewhere sunnier than Stockport.

Love the comments about how bad it would be to be hit by a truck at 50 mph in a Twizy! To be honest there’s a good chance of getting a bit of a headache as a pedestrian, a cyclist , a motorcyclist, a car driver or even another truck driver if you get hit by a truck at that speed. 40 tons at 50mph takes a bit of stopping! Top tip - Best to avoid getting hit by a truck if at all possible.

I have had my Twizy for nearly 5 years and will never part with it. Most of my regular trips are under 4 miles into a busy city where it makes perfect sense. It gets more positive attention than almost any other car and is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Less than a mile from my home there are 2 supermarkets and a McDonalds where I can charge FREE. In the time I have owned it I have only charged at home 6 times, the road tax is zero (OK not for long) and insurance less than £200 per year. My car has the factory option Parrot 9000 with speakers in the roof and so I have radio, music and hands-free phone. What is not to like? For very wet days and long trips I use our 3 series. The Twizy is the only car I have ever owned that has almost doubled in value whilst I have owned it. I bought out the £45 per month battery lease in 2020 for £250. The lease is the reason that prices for early Twizys dropped to £2500 in 2018 which is when the smart people bought them........

I ride a bicycle for a lot of local journeys here in the UK. I get wet. I struggle on windy days. I think depending on what you're used to, a twizy could make sense. I think it would be a difficult choice for me, to buy this over say a rather nice e-cargo bike, same downsides, but something like an urban arrow can carry two kids plus a bit of shopping in comparison to this, but I think if my fitness or even want to pedal was a little less, it's an easy sell.

See quite a few of these where we live in Malta… we have the climate sure.. but the perennial amount of dust is a downside. Their seats are always covered in dust, at least there wash down seats I guess??

I've seen them 8n Madeira, and thought I'll rent one for a giggle. The climate is suited for them. In Paisley I've got my doubts. The sun only shines by mistake in Scotland. Good wee video Matt, cheers.

The doors are missing because of "car design regulations" I will not go into details but had they put doors on it they would have to apply to a lot of other rules that makes cars much more expensive, big and heavy. It is also a missachievement from the European government not to adapt rules for this kind of car. With wind and waterproof doors this could be a comfortable solution for city transport and parking problems.

Our upstairs neighbour went to Bermuda with his work in insurance and had a Twizy. Ironically liked the Twizy but hated Bermuda. He had a three month posting with an insurance company but like the video, the island looks idyllic. It was far from that. He lasted three weeks after been mugged twice, his apartment broken into and in one case a man who wanted a bit more than his wallet! But on the return to the UK, he hired a Twizy and it was promptly stolen and written off on the Mile End Road in London. He said it was great fun, more than he said for the island of Bermuda! But they are a bit useless. It is in effect a small car with the open air feeling of a bike so you're going to wet and cold whilst stuck in traffic! You sort of can't win. I have seen them for hire in Lisbon too.

Ahhh the humidity. You learn to live with that in Brisbane Australia. That would be ideal here in our family for local getting around with a speed limit of either 50 or 60 KPH. I could get my weekly shop in the back and it would even work during our current winter. We get an average of 23C during the day and freezing early mornings of about 8C. We use the MGTF a lot during winter and the top goes up at 9am in summer and the aircon goes on. I really enjoyed the video Matt.
