Absolutely agree with all your sentiments in this Andy. The Twizy is a great way to get about and with zero emissions it’s guilt free! Absolutely loving driving the Twizy with the windows off in this weather, me and you both got the Twizy at about the right time mate! You know what else, it’s great to see a video with a stretch of road I know well (Twizy owner in Ipswich here so Freeport Braintree is a known spot!)

Mine is a tad older than yours :-p 2012! Still have 99% SOC when fully charged. It might do, haven't tried any dual carriage way driving since I picked it up. A upgraded battery to say 100 miles would be amazing in the Twizy.

What happens when the battery lease/warranty period runs out on the older Twizys? I'm hoping to be able to pick one up that needs a new battery for sensible money (they hold their value SO well here it seems) to try and do a longer range battery, in a few years. Not economical to do it at the moment for my use.

no car is without emissions especial those required to make and mine the components of the battery however i see the point of it not making co2 emissions one issue though from these vids it seems like you have to worry about charge often i would hate that we need a new battery tech to make this what people think it will be

Bought a new twizy with doors for 9600 euros its fun but pretty hard suspension and the windows still arent there. Pretty windi in cold weather and long recharge from 3 to 3,5 hours. But i love it the feeling of driving and the happy faces of other people see you

Yeah true, the best thing really is to make sure you have enough energy density in the battery to cover any journey you want, the twizy has 6kWh but really needs 12kWh at least.

Hi Andy , enjoy the videos please keep em coming , After watching the twizzy vids I have decided not to build the Ebike after all but go for the twizzy instead. I put my order in on Friday with the deposit , unfortunately I can't have it until NOV. don't understand why it takes so long ? (hope I made the right choice) I will have to re watch the twizzy series again to see what accessories I will need . Just as a point of interest twizzys seem to hold there price , they are asking almost as much for second hand ones as new ones!
@andykirby
@andykirby 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! You definitely made the right choice. It’s an awesome machine! could you share where you purchased from please as others have had trouble getting hold of the Twizy. Yes they hold their value very well and will likely be a collectors item soon as it was one of the first EVs. All the twizy accessories are listed in the description box of each Twizy video so go check them out! Try and be patient until November, meanwhile keep watching as there will be lots more Twizy videos on here!!!

Is there a battery upgrade to increase range? A good idea would be to have a slightly lower voltage battery but more capacity so it would weigh the same, the top speed would be lower but the range would increase exponentially.
@andykirby
@andykirby 5 жыл бұрын
You definitely wouldn’t want to decrease the top speed ;-) yes been thinking lots about this. 60V isn’t that high and it’s possible to build another pack that would fit in the car somewhere but the only issue is getting it to work properly with the BMS and systems inside the car.

Andy, having looked into buying an early VW camper recently, I have come to the conclusion that any vehicle that can't manage 60 mph to 62 (preferably) including up motorway hills, is almost dangerous. As traffic volume rises, big trucks in the slow lane don't want to slow below their speed limit which is apparently 56 but in practice up to 60. what is your experience.
@andykirby
@andykirby 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah I know what you mean, my twizy will do 65mph with the powerbox that I have (basically it increases power and torque to allow the car past it’s normal 50mph limit) I recently did a motorway run and yeah you don’t want to be going a lot slower than 60mph really because of the lorries you mention. The cool thing with electric is that if you sit behind a lorry you are completely shielded by the wind so you use hardly any energy to maintain speed. You should buy a camper with no engine and make it electric, there are places that will do the conversion now!

I get the idea of new things getting old but so far nope... Got a Volt (ev hybrid) in Oct 2017 and it's just as fun and exciting to drive now as it was back then. Guess for younger people growing up with EVs it'll be ho hum but if you spent the first 35 years of your life around gas guzzlers EVs will be cool for a time to come.

Electric cars are so much more efficient than engine cars. The US EPA says Tesla Model 3 does 141 mpg equivalent. That's 169 miles per UK gallon. Even allowing for power system losses that's still well beyond double the mileage of the best engine cars.

Not really. Most people look, wave and give way to you. I do drive mine like a bit of a hooligan though normally!!! it will beat anything at the traffic lights 0-30mph in sport mode and go around roundabouts like a go kart, especially in this weather when the roads are sticky!

That comment is wrong on so many levels.... "the big crash is coming" don't know what you're talking about "they are too expensive" somewhat true, but they're still getting cheaper while ICE cars are getting more expensive "low range" you're not serious, are you? "have no soul" neither do 90% of the cars that normal people drive to work and the supermarket "catch fire" EVs catch fire less often then ICE cars, although when on fire, yes, they're more difficult to extinguish "depreciate so quick, you end up losing loads of money" show me a car, ANY normal car, that has a different financial picture
