Hi Kyle I been watching your videos for few years now and since then I decided to order a ford 150 pro back on June or July after I saw your review and went to my local dealer and did the build spec and signed some paper work for around 45k after few options now with the slow production and the high demand the dealer has never been able to actually place the order to ford, I been calling the dealer salesman every few months and yesterday I decided to check on the status and asked the big question and the price and they are telling me that I don't have price protection and now I'm at the new pricing or even worse at the price of when they can actually place the order. I don't think that is right, I think people stop following up with Gordon orders and pricing from the original sale price since you guys make rivian honored all prices for the people that placed orders or reservations before the price increase they had to honored the price I was hoping that you look into it and make call out for to do the same. I think this is a lot to ask, but know you speak out about the ugly parts of this company's business that other people don't , even if I don't end up getting it at least let them know that people are disappointing people like me that just can't afford a 20k increase from the original sale price. Thanks again for all the hard work you guys go

I drove a Twizy for a week in Madeira some years ago. It was FUN. In an old town situation where streets are not made for cars this thing was a true blessing. Potential parking spots everywhere. Biggest drawback was the lousy charging rate, which I avoided by just switching to another Twizy when one ran out. Upgrade this with Lithium tech and quick charge and it would be the ultimate car, preferably in some warm place.

I have a Twizy since 2015 and use the OBD Tuning Kit on mine. Unfortunally you can't tune the T45 to 100 kmh but it can reach 78. Also the torque is much lower on the T45 model with 36Nm. With battery power adjustment you can bring it up to around 80Nm but you need to dial in slowly. Otherwise you will hit the internal battery protection and it will cut power to brutal low level for the next few seconds. If you have any questions regarding twizy tuning feel free to ask me anything.

I bought my 2017 Twizy 80 here in Korea. It was a Spanish made import that someone bought, put the windows on and probably drove for a couple of days and than sold it to a dealer. 130 K on odometer, no battery lease and street legal. So, like new - $3,300. I have installed. motorcycle LED headlights, an audio system (the factory connector for audio is under left storage box and speaker connectors are in place in roof). Bought the Twizy blanket and an electric seat warmer). Mine is white and black. Put new style “F1” black decals on back and on side doors. I love it. Drive to work on military base daily. No road trips yet. Twizy’s production moved here to Busan. Don’t know if they are still making them now. I saw your Norway video. Take care and have fun with your Twizy.

@5:59 it's not a 'vignette' (motorway toll sticker, but doing only 45km/h it isn't allowed to go on motorways in the first place), but an inspection plate (cars in Austria have to get an annual inspection for roadworthiness). And yes, that is the Austrian plate (in Germany it would be on the rear license plate). btw. they did limit it to 45km/h because that's what you are allowed to drive 'sans permis' (without a driver's licence) in France and some other countries (in others you only need a moped license, which you can get at a younger age). Same reason why the Citroën Ami is limited to 45km/h.

We bought a Twizy 5 months ago and we love it! Ours was imported from Korea and came with the Renault Korea windows. It's registered here in Cyprus as a heavy quadricycle (L7e). It's used to commute every weekday and for fun at the weekend. Fortunately we have great weather here most of the time. There are only a handful of Twizys here so it draws a lot of attention everywhere it goes. Hope you get the registration and charging sorted out so you can use it on the road, especially when you get the mod kit to unlock the limiter.

yeah, Renault Sonnleitner; seems to be from Vienna, my hometown! correction: there is also a Renault Sonnleiter dealer in Salzburg; "Aus dem Ausland" just means "from abroad"; so to call the service number +43 xyz from somewhere else than Austria; And the sticker in the top corner (this ist the MOT Sticker for the yearly TÜV or Pickerl as we say) says license number "SL-xyz", so that means the Twizy was last registered in "Salzburg Land", so on countryside of the city Salzburg; and it was allowed to drive till June/22 and you are allowed to overrun this date by 4 months; so should be in good conditions i would guess ;-) and i would also guess that this is the twizy 80 and not 45 because of the license number and the large license plate itself; the twizy 45 would have a smaller license plate holder; another update (3rd one or so): i just looked into the pricelists (see links below) and there it says "Beheizbare Windschutzscheibe" for Twizy 80, which translates to "heated windscreen"; which is another hint to be a twizy 80 and not a 45; slight correction on this: the "beheizbare Windschutzscheibe" is/was also an option (150 Euro) for the twizy 45; here would be a priceliste with the specs from 2018: media.renault.at/__/24326.5ad5e4a8.dl and here from 2016: www.infohub.at/carmanager/uploads/pdf/PL_Twizy_05_16.pdf there are some twizys online in Austria which have been slaughtered; there could be some parts you may want to have or need: www.willhaben.at/iad/kaufen-und-verkaufen/marktplatz?sfId=c2c60433-856b-4a4f-9fe7-8d42cd4b6be4&isNavigation=true&keyword=renault%20twizy&ATTRIBUTE_TREE=6143 just hit me up if i can help you ;-) all the best from the best city in the world :D Raphael

You better get used to backache, the suspension is pure go cart meets rickshaw, the range also is unforgivable

In Colombia, the twizy comes with the same schuko connector and the dealers just deliver them with an adapter to the regular 110v plug, so I think you should try that out

Colorado is very EV centric Kyle, you may be able to actually get it registered simply because its a full EV - did you get a title?

The NEV route to legalization you suggested is probably the best one to pursue, a close second would be as an ATV. The previous owner should have crushed or exported the car after testing, you got very lucky that the company went bankrupt and can't really be pursued. I have a passing familiarity with Colorado rules, and I believe you have a very good chance. Some people even managed to register Mahindra Roxors as fully road legal cars. Unless the inspector insists on an FMVSS certification sticker from the manufacturer, you should be good. I've also heard of some people having problems if the speedometer is metric only. You will need to research carefully the rules for each vehicle class ahead of the inspection, and determine the best one to apply for. Your suggestion to register it as an M-Plate is probably the most impossible route. You need to be a manufacturer, and every time you drive it, it MUST be for testing. If you have an M-Plate and a cop pulls you over and you say you were doing anything other than testing, you will be in a world of pain. Some sketchy people have used dealer plates, but that's playing with fire, and I highly advise against it.

Hi. So, I’m in Denver. I am bottlenecked for the most part by highways, eg Colo Blvd, etc. How do you get around the law that states you can’t drive certain vehicles, eg Twizys, bicycles, etc., to get from A to B? (I see on rare occasions bicyclists riding the sidewalk outpacing and passing heavy automobiles due to stoplights and the sheer volume of traffic causing traffic jams.) Also, I understood you to mean that a speed regulator would have to be installed and used to classify it as a NEV Down to 40.2 kph or 25 mph, correct?

I love this little go-cart. Once a year, when my Espace is in the shop for its yearly checkup my loan car for the day is always the 95kph Twizy. My (grown up) kids and I take turns 'racing' that thing around town all day. Who needs Six Flags when you can drive a Twizy?

Great buy! I want to see a 40 kwh version with 200 kw output lol. 30,000 km is a lot if you consider the cycle life of the battery. I am going to assume it does around 100 wh/km. 6kwh battery, 60 km per cycle, 300 cycles is 18,000 km. Would be interesting to see how degraded the battery is. I would guess it's at least halfway due for a replacement. if not already.

Tell us how registration works. I know the US has strange import laws, but maybe the Twizy its okay because it’s not technically a car.

I've driven motorcycles a lot and my concern was always getting smacked by other drivers. I've had a few friends hurt badly on public roads on motorcycles and I've had my close calls. There are just so many really big heavy vehicles on the road it makes me uneasy to be in something like that with the type of drivers on the road nowadays. Now that vehicle would be awesome if I could trail ride with it.

the Twizy reminds me of an Arcimoto FUV with it's seat config, size, footprint, use. But you have a full body and an extra wheel. I'd like to get an FUV one day - if they can stay out of bankruptcy.
