It ‘s a very compact vehicle, 100% electric, created for two people who can move indoors without using a helmet and, above all, without polluting emissions. Compared to a scooter, in addition, this electric city car has four wheels, steering wheel, pedals and a wraparound cockpit which can accommodate two passengers horizontally. At the public eyes this means mainly two things: good balance and safety.
Aesthetically Renault Twizy stands out by a rounded body, protruding wheels, opening up doors, windshield and roof incorporated as a large glazed surface. In addition, Twizy can be customized with special graphic details.
