windscreen and side deflectors kept the draughts at bay. There’s no need
for a crash helmet as the Twizy is officially a quadricycle or small
car, but there’s a belt loop for your right shoulder to augment the
standard lap-and-diagonal seatbelt which passes over your left shoulder.
The steering and brakes are go-kart positive, although the steering is
slower-geared for easy parking in impossible spaces, while the low
centre of gravity minimises body roll and the ride is pretty smooth.

Due to the high turning force, the car will be able to move even though it is in second, third or fourth gear. Therefore it is always a good idea to select a donor car with a manual transmission for an EV retrofitting project.
