The city car Renault Twizy Renault Ralph Richter.
Being 14 sucks You are a freshman in high school, that puts you at the bottom of the social food chain without the opposite sex is constantly confused, you must ask your parents and older brothers and sisters for walks, and the United States at least you're half a life away from the legal drinking age unless you live in France then simply ask your parents to buy you a 7600 Renault Twizy a car 14 can now legally drive.
The Twizy quadricycle, electric car, two-seater 1000 pounds for zipping in cramped European cities it's designed to be a safer alternative to bikes and scooters for the urban set, featuring an electric motor 13 horses and enough batteries to take you 60 miles at a maximum speed of 50 mph it won t take a lot of goods, but it has plenty of room for your chopsticks, cigarettes, wine and strike signs because yes, french high schoolers like to strike.
The Twizy has airbags, seat belts, two seats, headlights, turn signals all these things that current cars and, thanks to a new law in France, young as 14 can now drive things legally.
Previously, youths 14 years in France with a sort of road safety certificate from a lighter version of the license could drive mopeds Now, in order to comply with European regulations, the same certificate now allows holders lead quadricycles.
As regulated, quadricycles are four-wheel cars that can t exceed 28 MPH, can t have a battery more than 4 kWh for electric motors, traditional diesel gas versions can t have a greater than 50cc engine, and can t exceed 770 pounds empty weight to accommodate the new market, Renault is launching a special, reduced, slower version of the Twizy specifically for young people with a road safety certificate.
Renault said it sold 15 000 s Twizy in Europe since the launch of the thing there half a decade, and we would see the automaker jump the pond and let American teenagers, or adults, in contrast climb to other small European cars like Smart, which is actually kind of expensive base price is about 13,000, a 8000 Twizy would be great for city dwellers who want something faster and safer than a bicycle, and almost as versatile one could see being popular for car sharing services like Zipcar or an alternative to bike sharing services in cities like New York and San Francisco.
Reports indicate that Renault, who left the United States in 1987, is studying the possibility of selling the car in Quebec, but entering an established market is risky business Daimler, owner of Smart has an established dealer and parts network the US already, making it easier to launch its sub-brand here, with modest success.
Renault signed a strategic partnership with Nissan, it is possible Twizy or variant may make an appearance as a Nissan-badged product could suggest us the Nissan rod to accompany the sheet But this is America, where the small car n has never prospered so we're not holding our collective breath, even if the Twizy would do for a small city car hard to cook.
