The Twizy is the funkiest EV to drive! Really nice and comfy to sit into! Bit tricky starting off at first, especially with the handbrake, as it was horizontal and under the dash panel (I eventually managed to get familiar with it). I also had to watch for traffic at the same time. The guide really helped me a lot with starting off, and once I started moving off, I gained a lot of confidence.
Once leaving Calle Alamos and onto the wider roads, the fun factor kicked in. I put my foot down, and noticed the rapid and smooth acceleration even with a slight touch of the accelerator. I began to feel a euphoric sensation as if I was driving in an ultra futuristic metropolis, but at the same time, being very observant with the traffic and landmarks as well.
It was very chill cruising along with the sun shining, especially along the coast and up the hill to Gibralfaro.
The guides were very friendly and did a very comprehensive 2 hour tour of the city, including stops close to the cruise terminal and at Gibralfaro for observing the stunning views. They were great for pointing out interesting facts about the city, talking about the historical aspects, as well as assisting with taking photos of me while I posed at various features at the viewing points, as well as with the EV.
They also looked out for me during the tour on a frequent basis, and made frequent contact using the two way radio to check if I'm doing fine.
The cute electronic voice (possibly Twizy talking to me?!) kept me well informed of approaching landmarks while driving.
For anyone intent on visiting Malaga, this tour is a very sensible one where eco-consciousness is concerned (there is growing demand for sustainable tourism options these days, for good reason), and doing at least one tour with them an absolute must if you want to really see and appreciate the city.
Many thanks to Gema and the team for this epic expericence!
