Which Renault electric quadricycle has tandem seating and scissor doors?

The Renault electric quadricycle with tandem seating and scissor doors is the Renault Twizy. Its compact cabin places the driver and passenger one behind the other, rather than side by side.

Renault developed the Twizy as an urban electric microcar, and production began in April 2012. It is classified in Europe as a quadricycle: the Twizy 45 uses a 4 kW motor and the Twizy 80 uses a 13 kW motor, with the model numbers referring broadly to their top speeds in kilometres per hour.

Its unusual design includes two upward-opening scissor doors, a narrow body, and a rear-mounted electric motor driving the rear wheels. The vehicle is only about 2.34 metres long and weighs roughly 450 kilograms, making it suited to dense city streets and short trips.

The Twizy is often confused with Renault’s Zoe, Twingo Z.E., or Kangoo Z.E., but those are conventional four-wheel passenger cars or vans with side-by-side seating. The Twizy is the distinctive tandem-seat quadricycle.
