As a former owner of a Caterham 7, which I drove anywhere and everywhere, in all weathers, I love the concept of the Twizzy. For short journeys it looks like great fun. The biggest downsides for me are the price of a used on in tne UK, and the likely cost of replacement batteries. I do wish there were a lot more really simple EVs like the Twizzy, but at a realistic price point... you can buy a 'proper' car for less money.

I wish they would sell the new Duo already, but I guess they're planning for the Mobilize Rideshare only :\ 100km+ range would be plenty for city metropolitan area drivings needs for a week or so. Twizy would be awesome if it would be possible to get battery upgrade for it. Most used ones have quite short range.

I would say without the mudguards your springs and steering components are gonna rust faster as they are exposed to the elements but the rest of the mods you have done are awesome though im still not sold on EVs yet as to get a really good one like a Nissan Leaf you have to pay £24 grand , for that price i can buy a used Evo 8 or some other nice fast car , I know the costs will be a lot more but fun is important to me.

He got locked inside his Porsche Taycan and the crazy thing is even his friend couldnt get him out by trying the handle from outside ,he did get out in the end as his friend found the spare key but so silly there's no manual override in the car.

Total crap. Over 10k Dollars! I couldn't even imagine why anyone would want one. For one, 10 grand is nothing to sneeze at. It will require a car payment and full coverage insurance. Full coverage insurance will not be cheap and it's required if you don't have 10grand in cash sitting around and you have to finance it. It can't haul very much. Even a once a month food shopping for 2 is beyond the capability of this machine. You can't drive it on the interstate or any limited access road (roads you have to get on an on-ramp to get on and off ramp to get off. Poor range. 1 passenger at best which will lower your range and top speed. Cut the price to under 3grand and leave all other specs in tact and you might have something that will sell in volume.

Speed limit here is 80km/hrs it's a small place so range is not an issue either. There are loads of cheap low mileage ones in South Korea 🇰🇷 shipping is reasonable, you'll need a good import agent who knows how to say it's not a car it's a quadracycle to reduce excise and duties.
