Belcher and I were in Amsterdam in 2005 when I saw the Smart Car for the first time. 1+ years later I ordered one. I have owned my blue convertible for six years. I’m not sure if Im ready for a Twizy but it sure is fun!!
Renault Twizy has a range of 100 km over a standard urban cycle and can be fully recharged in 3 ½ hours from a domestic socket, using a spiral cable located under the flap at the front of the car.
Renault Twizy ships with a 13 kW (17 hp) electric motor delivering 57 Nm and with a top speed of 80 kph for the version requiring a driving licence. Renault Twizy 45 – the version requiring no licence – is driven by a 4 kW (5 hp) motor with maximum torque of 33 Nm available from start-up and a top speed limited to 45 kph. Renault Twizy is equipped with 6.1 kWh lithium-ion batteries located under the front seats.
