Twizy makes city motoring easier and safe:

• Twizy gets around town faster than a car thanks to its unprecedented ultra-compact dimensions which also facilitate parking;
• It offers up to two occupants –sitting in tandem, one behind the other – greater safety compared with a two-wheeled vehicle, thanks notably to an extensive list of active and passive safety features.

Twizy makes getting round town more enjoyable

• It is more agile than a car, while its acceleration performance is comparable with that of a scooter;
• Twizy’s electric motor accelerates smoothly and silently, while torque is immediately available;
• Its wraparound bodywork and side deflectors ensure enjoyable open-air motoring, protected from the elements and wind.

• Extra protection against bad weather and the cold;
• A Parrot audio kit including Bluetooth connectivity, plus a USB connector, a jack socket and an Apple connector;
