Renault Twizy electric car video review

[toni26montana]

и скоко это дерьмо стоит?

[toni26montana]

вот хуйня а

[superbarriman]

I want one

[blackpool321]

I`d love to use one of these to go dogging in, Ha ha

[exman1952]

I think it will need rain jacket to go with it.

[vladissimo18]

i think it can not sell in cold area....

[rentalassist]

Looks good, do you get door covers in case it rains?

[zamusicza]

See I like it and would drive around town in it. If everyone else did. If not you're just asking to die.

[Fanshawgate]

I like the basic concept and design and am very tempted.  However without doors it is, in practical terms, a no,no. Some years ago I had a Mini Moke with a roof, but no doors, which meant that when it rained I was soaked in quick time.

[BrucePBigelow]

The car for guys who know they will never get laid again in their lives.

Where can I get one?

[P47ausWanne]

looks fun. And the range would be enough for most drives.

i don't understand comments, that say, this is not a serious car. Whatever you call it: it don't make sense to travel i a car with 3000kg weight to transport just one person with 80kg... so small cars like this will be the future. although the don't offer every usage we're used to

[MichaelSimonelli]

that is not a fucking car. that is a golf cart. i'm sorry. I can deal with the smart car.. and the iq but seriously that has to be the biggest example of electric powered bullshit on wheels that i;ve seen

[dubbugs]

@toyotaprius

I had the same negativaty about the sinclair c5,betamax videos and alchohol free lager.enjoy your noddycar pal hope it gets you back to toytown!!

[lewis912010]

@autocar Is this thing really road legal?

[etruscus74]

I want to see a serious electric car, please

[dubbugs]

It's a quad bike with a roof,and no engine.where do you put luggage?where do you put anything?christ i could'nt even get myself in that!!!!!! Does it take AAA's or do you pull it back and let go?i hate to think about the result of a collision with a normal vehicle.totally impractical and ugly as sin.

[toyotaprius79]

@dubbugs There's a 50l boot behind the rear seat. If you're that offended by it then don't start taking the piss out of it. You shouldn't be wasting your energy on negativity.

[door2doorman]

Surely they could give it doors?

[DrRyan82994]

That's pretty cool :D Too bad something like that would be illegal and too slow in the states.

[hasmoosi]

good to jump to grocery store however if u get hit? ...portable coffin

[SanfranciscoUB]

Rather great car!

[Bikewahn]

Fun on the road!!

[7270DavosPlatz]

What a bunch of pessimists! The owner of the first telephone had absolutely no-one he could call. The first gasoline automobile had no network of petrol stations. The first airplanes had no airports to land at! GIVE THE IDEA TIME TO MATURE!

[rossy990888]

I LOVE it

[candyman1800r]

i only put about £40 a month in my suzuki or £5 a month in my ped at the moment with this i will be paying 40 to 50 just for lease of the bats then you have to charge it and there no where to charge it in town yet not worth the effort . shame like the thing

[crotchrocket3000]

I just can not see a market for it. You're open to the elements like a bike or scooter, but you do not have the same filtering possibilities so it has the disadvantages of a bike, cold, wet (with a side wind) no where to leave anything and the disadvantages of a car in traffic. It's actually a step backwards from Noel Edmonds Qpod in my opinion!

[LOPEZdJUNGLIST]

good review tho cheers not as bad as expected but pretty lame

[LOPEZdJUNGLIST]

they forgot the bloody doors what a pile o shit

[LinxAudio]

Where is the infrastructure for charging these electric vehicles?

I don't see any charging posts where I live.

[mphello]

@MrBorderGhost

Thank you, mattchow2, for educating MrBorderGhost and his hypocritical ilk for criticizing the preciously-few activists who are DOING something to get the rest of his kind through the end of oil to a sustainable world.

[boogiemoog]

souped up disability scooter

[QPWimblik]

can a 15 year old use a Twizy I wonder

[QPWimblik]

Is there such a thing as nano molecule charge storage and very sturdy exciters(yet).

[MrBorderghost]

Everyone thinks in a few years electric cars will be mass produced and the price will come down but there wrong, as recources including oil, metal, rubber and plastic's run low the cost of building any vehicle will increase dramaticly, only the wealthy will be on the road in another twenty years, we will be lucky if we can afford a tyre for a bicycle as the price of rubber will go through the roof as most things depend on oil to produce rubber included...

[mattchow2]

@MrBorderghost so everybody should act to be part of the solution... in fact all plastics can now be derived from biofuels using algae and rubber is a natural material anyway produced from a type of tree sap. metals can be recycled and electricity can be produced from solar, wind, biomass, tidal. everyone can make their houses more energy efficient. i mean, i'm not trying to preach but you could be more informed by watching the documentary on YouTube (under Movies tab) called Fuel.

[MrBorderghost]

@mattchow2 Wind, waves and other renewables are all pretty marginal and also take a lot of energy to construct and require a petroleum platform to work off. A example is off shore wind farms they use that much concrete to construct there base and energy that its over twenty years before you see a return on that energy that it used to construct, by the time you include maintenance it is probably more like 30 years....

[mphello]

@MrBorderghost And building oil platforms and nuclear power stations are even MORE costly and require even MORE oil than building solar and wind farms.

Yet, the cost of the initial investment was more than recovered over the past 120 years in terms of the advancement of science and civilization, until those new technologies of oil and nuclear hit a peak return, due to the environmental damage they cause.

[MrBorderghost]

@mphello Solar and wind farms may use less oil to build but there energy return is poor, yes clean energy im all for but only the wealthiest will afford the higher cost of green energy, price of energy is going up now and we have both imagine when we really are in peak oil even water is in peak....

[b57ecv]

Fuck me i bet they will be trying to sell dead camels to Arabs next, stuped fuckwitts.

[b57ecv]

Lease for the battery, they got to be fucking joking, fuck me there taking the piss, what a pease of shit.

[1tener]

This Makes me want to upgrade my diesel Q7 to a Hummer.

[mayank300]

where the fuck are the doors??

[Tafur444]

Where put my wife and my daughter??? On the Top???

[jellyboy123]

its cool for city driving but thats it.

[leninhitlerjuanpablo]

I like but what would happen, let say, if starts raining?

[SelcukAskin]

A golf buggy, perhaps!

[anzex1]

what about safety? I'm thinking about side impact safety?

[Battlegris]

The first non-China car were doors is an optional extra XD

[Dalonso1994]

And if someone crash your Renault Twizy (with you), don't worry, you have no possibility to survive.

[toyotaprius79]

@Dalonso1994 Proof? This is Renault we're talking about. And Smart, years ago made their ForTwo a 5 star EuroNCap car because it used a high strength cage that could protect the occupants in a collision with a C Class. Renault obviously has one, they said it and the ''car'' weighs 450kg, the batter is 100kg. BUT a side impact would scare and fuck me sideways.

[geppegep]

ofc it handels well, if you look at an rc car, you dont really get suprised if it handles good

[OfficialOllieVlogs]

I bloody want one! Btw this is the urban model. If you buy the colour or technic model you get doors that open like a Lamborghini!

[tyjhort]

What about an accident, does this resist?

[signorchinaski]

this is just a prototype, in renault's official page I saw the same model with doors..

[Sk8inDuck]

I'm all for electric cars and I think this is great...

But it NEEDS doors. Not practical in rain.

[MiGujack3]

I saw this in the spanish renault ad.

[johnfranz29]

How can u use this car when it rains? Lol

[anonimato1987]

I live in tenerife and I was wondering how would this thing handle in an area with so many mountains and hills. And with no doors? C'mon! It reminds me of the BMW c1... Not worth it.

[TNG128MB]

whats the difference to a golf kart?

[MrJetjoe]

@TNG128MB u r a dumbass.

[TNG128MB]

@MrJetjoe really who would buy this? its so expensive for a car that has no doors or anything and can only fit 2 people even without a trunk.

[locualoque91]

mierda y si llueve?? sin puertas se te tiene que mojar todo el coche por dentro

[h4ppydriver]

4 to 9K € ... tyvm but you can build a bad ass bycicle for that gold and have much more enviromental friendly fun

[MsCrappants]

epic fail anyone would take a good old gas guzzling land rover discovery over this any day

[musicteccarl]

Yes I agree, the kids in my street would play in it all the time, put some doors on the stupid thing! £7000 err I'd rather buy a second hand smart or 207 ... Le merd

[welshfluteplayer]

what about theft i would like to see this parked in swansea it wont be there for long and also who going to pay out 7K the 50 quid a month i certainly wouldn't,

[iphonepunker]

i would have went for iv if i didn't live in Ireland it dosent look to rain proof lol

[zander1997100]

the concept car for the twizy was so much more better looking than this! cmon frenchies build it properly!

[ThompsonAAD]

what a piece of shit! better buy an electric scooter

[Lazybabyz]

Pointless!

[SchwinSuthisuvann]

I need car , This is my choice!

[damionyates]

So as with the BMW C1 you'll need a helmet in the UK but no other country?

[supercooled]

car of the future.

[EduardoCarrilloS]

Vacanisimo!!!

[Texmurphy51]

That would be great for me, I live in Pennsylvania where there is cold & snow 6 months of the year.

I doubt if that thing could make it out of my driveway without hitting bottom, not to mention driving thru snow.

MIght be ok in warm climates but not practical for me.

I would not want to wreck in that thing.

[MrGypsyLovelyFace]

@Texmurphy51 Yeah you're right electric cars wouldn't suit areas like yours, they're more so made for big European cities like Rome, Paris, Berlin etc. I live in Ireland and I wouldn't see any use for it here either though, our roads are narrow, but quite long and our main cities like Dublin, Galway and Cork are too small to even bother using city cars like this. It seems to be a very hit and miss car really :L

[Texmurphy51]

@MrGypsyLovelyFace Electric cars do NOT use energy better than internal combustion, they just keep the polution at the power plant. You might argue for solar or wind but that is impractical & will never make a dent in the US energy usage.

The only practical electric car will use either a fuel cell or a high efficiency turbine connected to a generator.

Batteries are just too heavy. You have to haul all that weight around.

[MrGypsyLovelyFace]

@Texmurphy51 I never said that they do, I was just pointing out some of the areas that they would suit and wouldn't suit! I hate electric cars, there's only one type of engine that could outdo the combustion engine and it's years from doing so, the hydrogen engine.

[Texmurphy51]

@MrGypsyLovelyFace An internal combustion engine Will run on hydrogen easily.

Fuel cells use Hydrogen to generate electricity.

Problem with hydrogen is storage. Pressurized tanks are dangerous, you can store it in hydrides but that has problems too.

[MrGypsyLovelyFace]

@Texmurphy51 Yeah, but if they could contain it properly then there's the solution to the world's global warming issue, but what do you think they care more about? The environment or money?

[Texmurphy51]

@MrGypsyLovelyFace Really?

Have you ever considered what source of energy creates the hydrogen & electricity for the car?

Coal, Oil, Natural Gas, some Hydroelectric.

In addition transportation is just part of the world wide energy usage.

Manufacturing, home heating, cooling, lights, etc.

If you want to say solar or wind power I can discuss that but they are not practical.

[MrGypsyLovelyFace]

@Texmurphy51 Better than using coal, oil, natural gas and hydro electricity to produce petrol and diesel. At least with Hydrogen the only output is water vapour. Now may I ask, how did we get onto this discussion when I only said that this car here would only suit certain areas around the world :L?

[beachcomber2008]

@Texmurphy51 "they are not practical" - Something like this is VERY PRACTICAL in Tenerife when combined with a solar carport and a second set of batteries. As long as it incorporates its own charger for "emergencies"...

[Texmurphy51]

@beachcomber2008 You would need a solar panel as big as your house to charge the car.

Battery powered cars use no less energy than a gas powered one of equal weight & HP.

Matter of fact batteries will polute the enviro MORE.

The only practical electric car will be a fuel cell car or one run using a high efficiency gas turbine as a generator with small battery for hybid.

Battery cars are idiotic because a battery has so much weight/energy

[beachcomber2008]

@Texmurphy51 "solar panel as big as your house" - Only if that were the only source, and if the car was needed for daily work commute. I had a more leisurely application in mind

"use no less energy" - I never suggested otherwise

"will polute the enviro MORE" - Only if you dump them. Power stations R intrinsically cleaner than roving IC engines

"a fuel cell" - Have U seen their price? It's the noble metals...

"high efficiency gas turbine" - An oxymoron. No such ting

"weight/energy" - Check LIPOs

[mphello]

@Texmurphy51 Why are you anti-renewablists always incapable of thinking in terms OTHER than coal and oil being the "ultimate" source of energy?

You need MACHINE tools to make the drills that will DRILL that coal and oil out of the ground. Those machine tools are run on electricity. Where does that electricity come from? The sun.

Point is: you give ZERO proof for why you believe coal/oil are more the "ultimate" source of energy than are wind/electric? BOTH are chicken-egg type problems.

[MrBorderghost]

@mphello There are gales blowing across much of Britain today so all those hugely expensive, pointless wind turbines will have been switched out of use, because we now know they cannot handle high wind or no wind. So we will now be relying on coal and gas nuclear power stations until the gales subside. Anyone who advocates the building of wind turbines should not be allowed any electricity on calm days, I think that would make it apparent how useless they are.....

[Texmurphy51]

@mphello sez:Why are you anti-renewablists...coal and oil being the "ultimate" source of energy?

I am not anti-renewable, I am a REALIST.

The ultimate source of energy is Nuclear Fusion, but we cant do that yet.

Renewable energy will be a minor source of energy until people realize that they can use Nuclear Fission safely now.

The best form is Thorium reaction developed in the US, now being used in China.

Yes China is selling use solar panels & wind but using Nuclear

[4shacks1house]

Twatzy!!

[mptrax]

IT's CHEAP !!! VERY CHEAP !!!!

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

If this had dors and windows I would buy it without question. As it is, the Norwegian winter will not be cool(pun intended) :p

[CorruptH3ro]

Golf kart?

[babelbear]

£1.40 a litre. Think. 

[Cage71]

@babelbear in algeria petrol cost 0.10 pence a litre

[DEVASTATOR478]

protections ????

[arenau]

@spaceinvader79

why not a busy dad? Retarded

[FXHP]

Where are the doors?

[FXHP]

Is that guy even old enough to drive?

[nokuzo]

I couldnt believe when someone said to me there's a car that is worse than smart fortwo. Sorry my friend

[americancitizeen]

Impressed

[americancitizeen]

Faster than it looks to be honest i'm im

[kaga1310]

want one!!!

[tahn07]

that is a nice power chair

[scrensho]

Nice!

[iRaceAllDay]

Product placement worked!

[cyberboy855]

if cars keep getting smaller, pretty soon we're all gonna be driving motorcycle -a seat on an engine.

[Blackwater200]

Electric cars is considered blasphemy to your god BIG OIL......Don't buy them, continue to drive gas cars everyone.

[ROFLman007]

So many girls in here....

[anthonyla45]

No thanks, I would rather have a Smart fortwo which have doors, 2 full sized seats and a decent boot for the same price.

[1100xx0011]

WOW it's just like someones mobility scooter except you're paying 7 times the price for a fancy roof.

[Ali2011mb]

Excellent video. See my channel electric motor new design.

[isthisnickvalid]

I love the concept of this car but I think it's too expensive... maybe the 2nd or 3rd generation will be more realistic with the price.... Moreover... for that price they *must* add some real doors so you can lock it properly when you park....

[MrBarneyDinosaur]

£7,000 and £50 per month?! For that price you could get an actual car (e.g. a VW Fox, a Peugot 107 or a Chevrolet Spark).

[paladain55]

that car is a failure. everybody would choose a good ole gas guzzling jeep over this anyday

[SuicidalLooney]

I can't see this car standing up and surviving in the tough city of london, the stupid apron wont protect you from splashes coming off lorries, that shit is like fog with a mass and weight, and what happens when winter comes? and the car is covered? what your meant to spend 4 hours cleaning snow from inside the car?

[beancube2010]

They can't sell this in America. Americans don't have any free market. It's all about the Wall Street paper money banking religion that Jews lobbied us into. Our talents can only be put onto war machines for those Wall St gamblers. Sorry!

[thomasucc]

7,000 is a bit rich

[hotandspicy666]

Yeah...I like this presenter. He's not pretentious, boring or arrogant. He looks trustworthy and honest. Nice.

[basa9001]

good presenter.........



[Sonnicham]

but will it Drift?

[fermanagh76]

I guess the biggest question is whether this will fit between lanes of traffic? 1m width, not sure...

[Juliancharity]

Surely an electric smart car will be much more practical? 1+1 seating and no doors just makes this a rubbish golf cart if you ask me.

[Yairmess]

For which I see does not have doors, that passes when rains?

[andresjuanca]

david guetta also brought me here

[derbigpr500]

I'd buy this for fun. Its probably very fun to drive around small towns and villages.

[ericober12]

the person is bigger than the car

[presnillajones]

david guetta brought me here

[JensDhondtVEVO]

Nice 'car'

[monkeyjoe100]

i wouldnt buy one but it looks like fun to drive

[Lukieo20]

@spaceinvader79 this is more a scooter than a car...however, in europe there is no suvocrazy, so we'll buy it here.

[mphello]

AWESOME COOL CAR!

[mphello]

To the shitheads who complain about the looks of this car:

well, what are you going to do?

Oil is simply not practical. It simply costs too much: pollution, massive corporate-military-welfare to sustain it, causing global warming that destroys crops and causes food to be more expensive.

[Lukieo20]

@mphello you're right, and then this is more a scooter than a car, wtf!

[Vricee]

what for driver license you need for this :P?

[monkeyjoe100]

@Vricee it was classed in a motorcycle class so im guessing maybe a motorcycle licence

[Vricee]

@monkeyjoe100 okay thank you ♥

[tato73]

Qué feo es el comentarista, el coche tela de guapo, eso sí.

[momo1tm]

it's not an electric car...... it's an electric joke

[phazze]

It's ugly cars like this why people stay away from electric vehicles .

[Derp1978]

looks more modest, wished it still had the silver wheels though :p

[ruairi50]

renault SHITTY not twizy

[omendark123]

I'd rather have a G-Wiz.

[mosery77]

i want to blow this ugly car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jackster596]

This video loads as slow as the speed of this car.

[colenbrak]

@spaceinvader79 you could say the same about a motorcycle.

[Kidcar16]

it really needs doors.

[wideopen704]

I've always wanted a golf cart I could drive on the street...

[DIINj27]

so gay !

[BuffaloWarrior7]

Rather have the Tango

[i010524]

Why would I want storage space if it doesn't have any doors?

[lgkfjd]

cant see it being practical as a city car ,when i go city,usally come back with 8 bags of shoppin,or at least 3 people yet this car only has enough room for 1 and 2 golf clubs ffs, not only that can see it being windy and most likely get wet back there so would rather take the bus or taxi, the only use i see is to just & only drive around the city so can see this car making you feel like a pratt ,id hire one to get from the carpark to the airport but wouldnt spend 7k and dedicate myself

[lgkfjd]

needs doors ffs, else will just be covered in dog ,bird crap ,cats &foxes will claim those seats at night no doubt and put their spray on it , just imagine on a wintery morning will be impossible to defrost ,so would defo need a garage , i have one but i have 3 cars already and wouldnt be worthy enough for the garage so would have to be left at the end of the garden so i just see it being mistaken for a recycling bin
