So I'm thinking of buying a Twizy
Discussion
Eccentric cool...perfect!
Insurance with LV is 200 a year which is what I seem to pay for anything these days.
The chip is aftermarket and doesn't need to stay plugged in.
Driving it into Guildford this morning with my 6 year old in tow...you wouldn't get this much attention if you drove a pink countach naked.

Apologies for the fit inducing video quality...too much reflection and vibration for the phone to handle but little video:

Gives a good indication of the torque and sound. There's also a ballsy overtake at 3.30 ish. I'll do a few more vids with a better camera/mount soon for comedy value.

Ok, slightly better video for you...not the most interesting though

When the 507 arrives, I'll do a drag race or something.

You have a very noisy driveway. https://youtu.be/SHI2fignDew

These are the sort of killer issues that EVs are going to highlight.
I bought it largely on the colour and yes anything other than soft butter as a road surface is loud
Routine is, check sunny, think of excuse to drive upto 15 miles out, drive car, stick on charge for 3 hours...repeat. It charges quickly enough and can be unplugged at any point. Not got as adventurous as public charging yet. Also noticed lots of grubby hand prints on door tops when I return to it after it being parked up, presume people are just looking in?

I think I found you on Twizy Owners as well but hadn't seen this thread.Routine is, check sunny, think of excuse to drive upto 15 miles out, drive car, stick on charge for 3 hours...repeat.

Love the fact that you've basically bought one for the fun of it, I want one for the same reason. My turn next year I think!
Just watched your country roads video, a mix of fun and fear I think but most of it is due to the shaking camera! I've hired one for the day twice now in the new forest and I'm going to have a proper look next year, keeping an eye on the 'values' at the moment which seem to just keep falling.
I'll probably want one with a years warranty left, then I can figure out if you can extend it etc.
