Do you think you could fit one of those pads inside the seat upholstery? good vid as usual ,happy new year .

Brilliant as always. Price for Windows seems reasonable.

Hi Andy, I'm enjoying your mods. Do you know how to disable the daytime running lights in the twizy?

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

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?

Great video. BTW, I got your track Good Luck from Apple Music after hearing it hear. It’s awesome. 👍

I love your review Sir .. I wonder if there's enough space for a golf set at the back seat..?

Can the battery be either modded, or swapped for more capacity?

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!.

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

@andykirby

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.

Ugh i just really want one, it so cute!

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.

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.

thumbs up on the heat pad did you take the tip from me .

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.
