What is the top speed of the Twizy?
Driving through a one-speed reduction gear automatic transmission, the Twizy can reach a (limited) top speed of 50mph. Although the Twizy is allowed on motorways, we wouldn’t recommend it. The forward and reverse gears are also activated by large buttons on the dashboard, where a blue digital readout displays your current speed and remaining range.
How heavy is a Twizy?
renault twizy‘s carefully honed weight – 450kg, including batteries (100kg) – is directly beneficial to its range which stands at 100km (combined cycle). Its battery is also particularly easy to charge thanks to an extendable spiral cable stored beneath a flap at the front of the vehicle. Considering the renault twizy started from less than £7000 when it was new in 2011, it’s remarkably expensive on the used market today. You’d be lucky to pick one up for £6500 – while later examples are topping £12,000. That’s a lot of money for a car that isn’t really a car.The Renault Twizy is a two-seat electric microcar designed and marketed by Renault.
