Me: this guys got some impressively quick maths skills
21:31
Me: oh ...
Roo 😂😂😂
2 + 2 is 4 minus 1 is 3 quick maffs.
Now you have that heater wired in, you could put a relay in parallel with the switch so it comes on when charging. That way you get into a warm car
Nice idea!
@@andykirby chicken pie
Billy you have taken the words out my mouth, it would be far safer to include a relay in that circuit and purpose make fuse holder.
Come on Andy your a radio HAM like myself and I'm a qualified BMW technician I would never create something like that.
Ah well... I mean if you really wanted to do it properly you could wire it through the ignition, add a dedicated fuse in the fusebox and use a PWM Fan control with thermostat and a use a Renault Clio switch on the dash to match the other side! But hey I just needed to finish the damn video😅
@@andykirby can I put air conditioning in to renault twizy or citroen ami
Yes, Renault shifted the manufactoring of the Twizy from Valladolid in Spain to Busan in Korea in 2019.
Gpcas9 actually they moved at the end of 2019, not 2016.
@@GvanderWindtMusic You´re absolutly right ;-) Too many finger on keyboard error ;-)
Announced in october 2018, retooling in Busan march 2019, start production in November 2019. You couldn´t order a Twizy in Germany since the start of 2019.
@@Gpcas9 i have a new twizy 80 and i live in germany its now 5 month old/new but delivery time was a pain in the ass waitet over half a jear
@@Sidowse the twizy weighs 500 kilograms with me +100 it is not a hotstarter but it isnt slow. Saw a vid of andy kirby he tuned his one it be faster accel and max speed but the new twizys arent tunable cause of the new software of swecon.... driving a twizy is unique not comparable with a car or motorcycle
@@Sidowse as i said the older twizy s are tunable the bord electrik is just limited from factory for city use. the motor can do more but still isnt overpowered thats true. the main issues with the twizy is his slow 2kw onboardcharger and the shitty seat i can tell you that. you can even go upstairs with the twizy is fun ^^
Great video, thanks. Crimping the spade terminals with a decent crimp tool will give better vibration tolerance than soldering.
Great video as always andy. I will be purchasing these windows from you soon.
Love the heater! Might give this a go as well 😎
You need to bond a couple of magnets to where the straps are. Should be enough to stop the flapping but easy the push apart when getting out. The new doors do look fantastic!
Good idea! Yeah they look great!
@@andykirby cheeky bit of mechanical rubber over the hole where the straps atatch to the window with a slit cut in for the strap to come through should seal up the hole from water or tbh a simple bicycle puncture patch on the outside over the hole the strap goes through would do the trick or some gaff tape
btw whats the music situation like in there? do you just use headphones or is there a stereo or do you just put something on the phone and listen to that via phone speakers
Wow the new windows are the best I've seen so far. I'm impressed.
Look good don’t they 😁
From one Twizy owner to another...great video again on the little go-kart. I’ve had these windows about a year now and love them compared to others. Only thing I could with is replacement Velcro pads solution as the summer heat softened the adhesive that they came off the plastic.
Nice to have some other Twizy owners here😁 That’s interesting, I guess any industrial Velcro pad would work. Someone also mentioned magnets but I’m not sure how the works...
I’ve got the same heated seat cover, had it for 12 months now, it has creased but I can’t feel the crease. The timer is set for 30 minutes and you can’t turn it off. I have had mine on constantly whilst driving and it performs great, it does not cut out like cheaper ones do. I have spinal arthritis and having it on all the time means I can drive for longer without discomfort.. I even have it on in the summer 😂
Have you considered an airhawk inflatable seat cushion? I got one for my motorcycle and it makes a huge difference on long trips but they're not heated.
Heya I find all this stuff interesting, and have starting modding myself, I wanted to ask you and others about getting official qualifications, or must have courses to complete, for knowledge and safety. For example I would like to be able to make my own batteries, add a circuit to an exsisting circut, increasing loads, everything to be honest.
Wow thanks for sharing, please do more videos about the twizy tweaks and tricks!
Great video Andy I will be checking out those new windows
great video love the work you do on the twizzy what a great little car
Do you think you could fit one of those pads inside the seat upholstery? good vid as usual ,happy new year .
20:18 That part of the video reminds me of the part in Apollo 13 when Gary Senise is in the simulator trying to see how many amps are needed to power the computer.
Haha I don’t remember that, I’ll have to watch it😅
Andy, if the heater is only drawing 4A you need to change that 30A fuse, if the heater shorted out the 15A wining would go up before the fuse. Use a 7.5 or 10A and a fuse holder, that fuse will fracture with its connectors bend and with vibration, it will make it worse.
Loving the windows, far better than the old ones
Good luck
Hi Mark, the 4A was at the 48v side, it’s about 15-20 at the 12v side, probably still need a smaller fuse! Good point about the fuse holder.
I wish they had the Twizy in the u.s. i have its "big brother" the Daimler Mercedes Renault Smart fortwo Electric Drive and the two would make great companions!
Yeah they would!
Hi Andy, I'm enjoying your mods.
Do you know how to disable the daytime running lights in the twizy?
Brilliant as always. Price for Windows seems reasonable.
Hey Andy great video on the accessories. I recently contacted the government motorbike registration & license authority here in Western Australia to see if I could get a license & registration for an Electric reverse Trike, 2 wheels at the front, 1 wheel powering legally on the road & they surprised me saying yes there is a special license for Trikes only. So cool this year I'll be building an 8kw 900rpm using 21"x1.85 motorbike wheels & 21-90/90 Adventure style tyres that are 50/50 road/dirt. With those tires & 21" rims the max speed will be 121km/hr or 75.2 mph on a flat road with a bit of a long run up.
I'll also put 720x 6"x6" solar cells that are 3600w over the fibreglass body panels so that I can increase the range between 720km to 900km or 448 miles to 560 miles in 9 hours of traveling, the 72v 8 kW 21" motorbike wheel with the 180ah 13.32 kW hr battery together with the 3600w solar panels & the lightweight vehicle is why it can travel so far. I could travel across Australia in 6 days during summer easily doing a casual 720km a day & if I am out in the middle of nowhere I can set up a 2kw pure sine wave inverter generator that produces a bit over 1200w to power a 13 amp charger to charge the Trike's battery up in 12 hours & 15 minutes during the night before leaving in the morning the next day. Over the 6 days journey if I had to use the generator to charge 5 times I would only use around 33 Litres of petrol or 7.25 UK or 8.7 US Gallons to cross 3935 km or 2445 miles of country. I hope that you wish me luck.
3600w solar? Something is wrong with your math mate... But even if you manage to get All those cells on you will only be able to have maybe 30 or 40% of them in direct sunlight producing top Power. Just keep that in mind.
5.131w x 600 Cells = 3078.6 Watts + 4.92w x 120 = 590.4 Watts Totally = 3669 Watts. Perth to Sydney 3935 km running west to east which just so happens to follow the sun. The way that I plan to arrange them will keep as many in the sun as possible in a rectangle shape, curved.
They only might get around 2/3 the actual power if I use copper foil that you buy for spot welding Li-Ion batteries on the bus bars & cell connectors because normally they use nickel coated steel which accounts for most of the losses because of it being a poor conductor of electricity.
Look the point is that I'm willing to try to do something that is very much different than what we are forced to have if we buy electric vehicles. There are no current electric vehicles that can travel & charge at the same time, there are no electric vehicles that have such a long range & I'm not trying to make a business, it won't look pretty, it will be functional & cheap when it comes to an electric vehicle.
if you put a bigger battery or even remove the rear seat and build some tyop of rack and put 4 batterys would you extend your range? it be a fun project!.
Great video. BTW, I got your track Good Luck from Apple Music after hearing it hear. It’s awesome. 👍
I notice that the new windows seem to block out a fair bit more of the road noise as well. Wish we had the Twizy in the states
Mint. Nice job pal both windows and heated elements 👍
Wow, your car is next level. Excellent video and channel. Thanks👍
Great contents!
Would there be a way to install a solar pad on the twizy roof and connect it to the charging system?
I love your review Sir .. I wonder if there's enough space for a golf set at the back seat..?
Great video Andy, windows look proper OEM. Is there a chance of the heater adhesive failing and jamming under brake, if so maybe a more permenant fixing. Great job!
Yeah they do don’t they, it would probably be unlikely that would happen but it’s a valid concern.
Great vid Andy, we really enjoyed it. These windows are really good, and this by far the best vid on the net about them. When I finally source a good pre owned Twizy with doors I will buy them from your store.
Would you be willing to give any advice regarding a good place to purchase a Twizy? I am in East Lothian and I don’t think there are too many in Scotland. Thank you and keep up the great vids 😀
Thanks! Stay tuned I’m investigating something interesting with regards to supplying the Twizy in the UK
andy kirby thanks so much, the supply for them is very erratic an disorganised so that’s great news, I’ll hang fire meantime then 😃👍
Hi Andy, love that little heater... I am useless with most things electrical but will give it a go. As for the drag race we could meet half way. Will start looking at Google map and places we can charge and race!
Nice! If you need a hand let me know. Yeah let me know what you can find with regards to the meet-up place👍
Hi mate, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and you seem really knowledgable on a lot of things, particularly electrical and electronics, have you done any formal qualifications? I am looking at doing a HNC and was wondering if that’s something you may have done or gone further?👍🏼
Hi, thanks for commenting. Yeah I actually did Broadcast Audio Engineering at college but didn’t do a HNC or go to university or anything, I never was much of an academic, most of what I’ve learnt has been self taught. If you’ve got a passion for something I believe you’ll succeed regardless of an education. There’s nothing like learning your own way at your own pace on your own terms :-) this is why I now also work for myself.
Good video. I am impressed with the way Google uses (really good) transparant adds. They do not obscure your video. You can leave them on the whole video. Might make some extra coins.
Great video, thanks Andy!!
So tempted to get one of these for my commute. But I need more range... 35mi each way. When are you going to extend twizy's battery capacity? ;)
Won’t be long now!
@@andykirby I think it's safe to say you're going to get a gazillion views on that when it comes out! Can't wait :)
Ugh i just really want one, it so cute!
just received my korea-windows, packet looked like smashed but windows are fine :-)
Can the battery be either modded, or swapped for more capacity?
Hey Andy, I’d really like to buy korean Windows. But have a few questions..
So as I understood the air is not coming from the back anymore, but what about the front part ? And the part around the rotator of the door opening?
Thanks a lot =]
Those windows will definitely be better than the other ones. Look a good fit. Noticed all your keyboards in the vid. You make all your own music for the videos?
Hi Andy hows the micro camper doing, just wondering how good the panel heater was. you did say there would be more on it but can't remember if there was a followup and was it infra red
Yep it’s going well, I’ve got a plan to do a video about it in the next couple of weeks!
Reminds me of Apollo 13 power up. Great!!
Such a cool little car... Iz really like it.
Very interesting coming across your channel. FIrst seeing many of your Twizy videos. I really like that little car. And in the background I see some interesting musicgear, and now, I spot an Icom 7100. Now, that's just awesome. I too share many of your interesting hobbies.
Just wanted to say thanks for many interesting videos, and perhaps it's possible to hear you on the airways sometime. TNX de LB3OH 👍
Thanks for the comment, yes maybe catch you in the air sometime M6JKA
Well done. Dose anyone know if you have to pay a monthly rental for battery still? 🇬🇧👍
Hi Andy, I love your videos on the TWIZY.
If you are still around today, 05/2021, what do you think of the new CITOEN AMI, and could you look into this for tuning and upgrades etc.
I would like to buy one, but want it to do 90km.
Thanks for all your great work.
Andreas
Citroen AMI is interesting, you are right that it needs some serious mods to make it stand up against the twizy! If we ever get them in the UK then maybe I'll get one to experiment with!
@@andykirby re AMI: Andy, thanks so much for your quick reply. Hereafter is a link to an interesting article (05/05/21) about the AMI-UK issue. Let's stay in touch about this topic. If there are any mods coming up here in France, I will let you know. Kind greetings, Andreas

The new windows look tops thanks.
Second-hand Twizys seem few and far between - should we be looking in the normal places? (AutoTrader, PistonHeads, eBay etc.) ?
Do you ship to Italy? What is the brand name of the Heater?
Hi Andy, as a Twizy expert, do you know how to reset the SERV light?
watt size is the window trim u used thx love the vids love my twizy
How many generations does the twizy cuz i will save up so i can get when i am on high school
They look to be the best windows on the market. Thank you !
Can I get one in the Uk twizzy. Car Carlisle Cumbria
I got the 2019 version of this Twizy, but i have a range problem. May i learn your cars avarage range?
75 in summer and yeah sad but true, only 50 in Winter
wish we got this in Canada
red led would have been nice great work again.
I just bought some of those windows, but I noticed a few other videos have them, but they have locks on.
Hi, those are different windows and the locks don’t really do anything as you can just flex the window and move the latch out of the way.😁
@@andykirby Aah, like those old '90s floppy disk holders.
Can you do a top 5 video in your twizy???
5618149040:::Hio:::THoRo
Class mate thnx.
Speaking as a Bentley driver who has driven recently a Lamborghini, RR Wraith, Lotus Elise, BMW i8, Porsche Panamera Hybrid, and Tesla S (and Roadster), there is nothing that comes close to the Twizy for fun. Absolutely 110% glee.
Have you thought about fitting the "Kit Comfort" too?
Andy, can you please send me a link for the premium tinted windows? Thanks
SPDT that what I use for my battery switching
Completely unconnected to the video but noticed your amateur radio on the worktop. What is your call sign? Would be great to try and work you at some point.
Email me.
I am quite puzzled about the dual sliding knob. It shouldn't really be outside the vehicle.
Now if Renault would release a model with a better range one of these could b quite good for work. Unfortunately I really need a far better range to be able to depend on a vehicle.
Can you fit a small roof bar (white f red r )
Bonjour cette vitre m'intéresse vraiment où peut-on le trouver pour la belgique et à quel prix tu viens d'avoir ma twizy hier🥰🥰😊
il y a son lien dans la description de la vidéo et ça doit être livrable en belgique depuis le UK 400 livres donc en gros 470 euros. czcams.com/users/redirect?v=Cba8wHs-CaE&redir_token=t3UWb6jHCh1L61v-r_1vsSnrCkF8MTU3ODgzNTI4MUAxNTc4NzQ4ODgx&event=video_description&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cloudsto.com%2Fstore%2Frenault-twizy%2Frenault-twizy-oem-windows-smoked-or-clear-detail.html
Renault really needs to build a second gen Twizy.. I drove it twice and I absolutely love it but the range is killing it for me (top speed of 80 kph is fine), I want to be able to visit my parents at 35 kms distance without need to charge there.
If there was a way to strap enough batteries on that with a fast charge option to make it 100+ mile capable, I'd snatch one of those up in a heartbeat.
Yeah, it’s possible to put 2 x Tesla battery modules and a fast charger in the standard battery box, that would give you about 100miles
What’s the anti theft like on these I was considering getting one but I have no secure place to park it?
Probably more secure than a motorcycle as they can’t life it up and put it in a van ... easily!oh and you’ll also need access to a plug socket so you can charge it.
andy kirby ah okay nice, I used to just park my moped outside my house and it never got touched but someone recently pulled out on me and caused me to crash 🙄 so I’ve been looking at a twizy to buy if I was to get back on the road so it sounds better than a bike
Hello, where can I buy those windows?
Where can I buy this glass? ı live in Türkiye.
The new windows look great, I wonder if you get a little better aerodynamics from the lack of floppiness.
Probably yeah.
Im thinking of putting a generator on the back en let is load while riding..
waar ken je die raamen bestellen voor de twizy
If u buy the windows do u get 1 or 2 for 400$?
Cool car! Do you know if these are available in Canada?
No unfortunately I don’t think they are, never say never though!
Too bad. Thanks for the reply.
How are the windows 1yr on?
Great video Andy!! What is the maximum distance that the twizzy travel in terms of miles?
About 40-50miles on a good day!
Ciao mi mandi il link dei finestrini grazie
Addictive watch
In an earlier video, you said the motor got up to 100c. Is there any way of using a heat exchanger/fan from the motor to heat the cabin?
Also, the lead off the front battery should have a fuse as close to the battery terminal as possible. If there was a short, the wires would melt and you could end up with a lot of damage.
In Malaysia also sell this e-car here... this car got good review driving in town... But the car not suitable here cause we have hot season & rain season... And the rain & Strom was unpredictable
The car have no aircond, in hot season in traffic jam almost trapped in hot oven
So I’m genuinely confused as to what this is? I’m from Texas, USA and have never seen that before. Wildly interesting though
Great idea for the next twizy video is take it thru a car wash, the one down at spellbrook would be good and have one side with the new window and the other with the old and compare them.
Yeah that would be interesting!!! That’s a pretty good car wash that one especially for like £3! I wouldn’t trust the older windows in there but I think these would be alright.
That Is Sweet & Great L@@Kin... Slick Lil eCar! Thanks Mate
Where can I buy this Windows? What is the name of the factory?
We sell them in our store www.cloudsto.com
He drives it on 9:20
How about the road trip with this setup & range ext? Your bug must do it ;)
Good idea, I’ve something planned😁
nice window
The best accessorie for that car would be wheelie bars when two penile that is around 6'1 - 6'2 is sitting in it.
add high efficient solar cells to your car , great idea for vid , not gonna do much but will look damn good
thumbs up on the heat pad did you take the tip from me .
Is there a fast charger from Renault for this bad boy machine? 😎😎
Great video I want a twizy. :) That feet heater I ordered a similar one November. Yet to arrive. The idea to install within frame Ebike. Only keep the temperature 5c or above allow charging without removal battery pack from bike.
Cool! Make sure you don’t heat one side of the battery more than the other. The whole battery needs to be heated equally which is a bit difficult to do, you could just try and heat up the space without directly heating the battery. I’ve been thinking about this for when I finally make a new Twizy battery.
andy kirby Heater with remote off only bring the pack too above 5c and all three blocks of the 21s pack have temperature sensors. I get what are saying the fan should spread the heat around enough and once on the road the pack generates satisfactory heat. Ran a 1kwh pack wrapped in a few plastic bags during temperatures that low chain derailleur gathered ice. Question: That Type 2 connector single pole key switch? Does that signal to the charge socket to disengage the lock?
If you can't read the manual, download google translate for your phone, and it'll translate all the text through augmented reality witht he camera. Really cool!
What’s rims do you have?
Errrm...Team Dynamics Pro Race.
In germany the maximum of stock door coverage is just doors
Was going to ask why you have n-trance and bm dubs singles framed
Then I see that's you 🤯
Haha! Yep 😁
Sei fortissimo🤣🤣
It still puzzles me that the Twizy doesn't just come with windows from the factory. Clearly a lot of people want windows if there are multiple aftermarket options.
Best Twizy accessory .........a metal compacter!!!
Your name says it all 😁
