Good video Andy, and nice little set up. Not so practical up here in norther Canada in the winter but for a summer runabout the Twizy looks great.

Ever thought of taking the door cards off & installing a solenoid to pop the doors open remotely. Would be a very cool mod for the Twizy. Maybe fitting stronger door rams/struts too so they open fully.

Awful music - makes me want to get up and shake my butt and do my stuff , which at my age is dangerous ! Love the Twizy - another 10 years of battery development and everyone will have one or similar (not me sadly as I will be too old even if alive). Good to see excited people pushing forward rather than hiding in the gloom. Well done Andy.

have you considered trying to use a wind proof blanket around the footwell and legs, like the official blanket that you could get for the car? Also would it be possible to fashion some sort of curtain behind the seat to trap the warm air in around you more, so you don't need to heat as much space up?

Gerbing do a great range of heated vests/gloves for motorcycles. I have their heated gloves and they can be connected to the 12v or use rechargeable batteries which run for about 3 hours - game changers in the cold weather :)

@@ianmangham4570 The Gerbing batteries are 2s (87.4v) and fit into a pouch in the gloves themselves. As the gloves also can be attached to the bike 12v battery I'm pretty sure a 3s set up would work too :)

does any of the motor controllers or motor create much heat on the twizy if it does, perhaps if you get a pc water cooler and pc radiator and then rig up a small water pump and attach the head block on the hot motor or controller and maybe the radiator mounted inside would exchange that heat out in the cab? food for though.... 😁

I would install a 1kw silenced generator in the back of that twizzy so its charging the battery as its travelling. I know it defeats the object of battery power but does largely extend the range and would also offer heat too.

been thinking someone should invent a quad bike with a cover over it, since people always say they don't want a motorbike because of the rain or its too unsafe or not suitable for women or something, this car already sort of is that, and it looks cute rather than horrendous like many small cars like the Smart Car, I still think they need to make these micro cars more masculine looking though.
