Twizy: how it all started
Twizy’s story began at Renault back in 2007 with a team of enthusiasts convinced that there was a place on the market for an accessible urban electric vehicle, somewhere between a moped and a car. It would take two years for the project to get the go-ahead, then another year to design a first prototype. In 2011, it was time for Twizy to be accredited and then, finally, Twizy was released in 2012. It therefore took five years for the Renault Twizy to come on the scene. Yet still today, the quadricycle remains unparalleled on the vehicle market, electric or not, and in shared mobility. The reason behind its name? The contraction of “twin” (for its two seats) and “easy” (for its ease of use and handling.)

Leg room, head room passenger space
The driver’s seat slides back and forth, but doesn’t adjust for height, while the tiny passenger seat is really only suitable for children. In fact, buyers can specify an optional child booster seat, as well as storage nets and a passenger blanket. But that’s where the creature comforts end – if you want a heater, look elsewhere.
How Fast Is A Renault Twizy F1?
For one thing, even with its 68mph top speed and long bonnet, there is a lot of downforce this Twizy generates. But they are also able to ensure that the cars are not too old to use. And while this might not work well for performance, it has a lot .
Warranty
The Twizy comes with Renault’s warranty package for up to three years – unlimited mileage during the first 24 months, followed by a further year limited to a total mileage of 60,000. The pack also includes three years roadside assistance.
Is Twizy allowed on the highway?
As a quadricycle, Twizy is not authorized to drive on highways. This electric vehicle with its compact build is designed for the urban environment. Fast roads and highways are not its thing! Also, another reason why Twizy is incompatible with driving on the highway is its maximum speed limit of 80 km/h.
