It's actually advantageous to shed those body panels. It means that some of the energy has left the vehicle, so slightly less deformation of the cabin takes place.
RWBHere+ There's another benefit too, the shower of bodypanels will also disperse nearby pedestrians thus reducing the number of people gawping at you after the crash XD
Not sure, but this may be the desired behaviour to minimise harm done by seatbelt itself. It takes on the first blast and then releses not to break dummys chest.
IMHO, the Twizy has a good result, i wouldn't call it a failure, don't forget that the Twizy has no doors and it is supposed to be an upgrade to a motorcycle, not a true car. ;)
+Bryan M. You can get doors, which may provide a little more protection from side impacts. I am a soon to be Twizy owner, so cannot let this put me off.
kaiserkarl2 Ahahah, I was thinking the same!! And that gentle touch of the head on the roll cage at 1:30? I think I can see some dummy-brain afterwards 😱
tazzari zero classic is absolutely pathetic death trap the seatbelts actually snap and this is still just a 50 km/h crash 100% certain death trap/coffin
I'm so sorry but I really had to laugh out loud when I saw the Golf cart crash test. That poor dummy. However not funny at all when there are real people inside. Seems micro car producers have their work cut out for them now
It's not that the golf cart is unable to achieve 50 kph and quite safe on a fairway. These are also used on holiday camps & other places, where another vehicle could be in collision with one at 50 kph, or even 35 + 15 for the cart.
I've yet to see a golf cart that can do 50 km/h, particularly since they're banned from being faster than 30 Km/h in the EU, for obvious reasons... NCAP is trolling hard. As far as the others are concerned, c'mon... did anyone really expect different results?
the issue is its limited to 425kg or so... there is not much room for safety improvments without makeing it worse elsewhere.... if i would be in politics i would get rid of that so its 900kg empty weight give it a better motor like 25HP and 1000~ccm the car can be certified for dual speed mode aka 45 and 70... ppl with AM can get AM+ (6 lessons for securtiy) wich allows that the limit of the car is 70kph
since these small city cars don't get any real benefit in safety why just not ride a motorcycle for city traffic, honestly i feel safer on my motorcycle than in any of these microcars
Those microcars are for 15 to 18 year olds who can't drive "real" cars legally. That's why it is pointless to compare them to Toyota iQ etc. The microcars are also limited to 50 km/h.
Какой из этого всего делаем вывод? Многие малогабаритные машины небезопасны, некоторые вообще оборудованы одним ремнем, на 8:36 тот вообще вырвался! Накопите денег и купите нормальную машину!
golf carts are supposed to be slow and used for security and golfing to get from one place to another in a park or school. i dont see golfcarts going 30 mph unless they are modified
These micro cars are classified as micro quadricycles so the same as quad bikes. Once they get heavier to have proper chassis and crumple zones, then they just become cars.
The Club Car Villager cannot even drive 50 km/h. It can only go 40km/h. But it is concerning that the rest of these are theoretically allowed to do 70 km/h in Europe.
I still want the Renault Twizy. Unless your driving a Tesla you are not safe in any vehicle. I want a TWIZY! I just want to drive around town in it. Not the freeway or Highway.
The Twizy did very well for basically a motorbike with doors. The seat belt breaking in the Ligier is unacceptable, I hope it was pulled from sale straight away.
*crash testing Chatenet CH30* *Crash dummy:* literally smashes head into steering wheel and dies a painful death *Euro NCAP:* yep, that’s 2 out of 5 stars
"Oncoming traffic does 50 km/h" that's why golf carts aren't made to drive in streets, that doesn't mean that the manufacturer should change the security level but the people should stop driving these vehicles in prohibited locations. And tbh, if they're trying to simulate a 50km/h crash with oncoming traffic, they should've made the test with other car hitting the golf cart at this velocity, cause a car that ways like 1,3 tons doing 50 km/h have much more energy than a golf cart doing 50 km/h so the results would be much much worse
But the problem is, the Chatenet CH30 doesn't have an airbag and no side curtain airbags. One more problem, how does the... Chatenet CH30 get 2️⃣stars?! That is my problem!
Swag Music No, they didn't forget it. As always, the Euro NCAP tests the Standard version of the vehicle and in case of the Renault Twizy, the standard version has no doors. You have to buy them separately.
Microcar, Ligier, Aixam and Chatenet are light cuadricycles, they are limited to 45 km/h per construction(49cc engine). They're mass is lower tan 350kg. They're not considered a car. It's not fair compair them with the Toyota iQ that haves a 1.0 engine and weight 920kg.
robotwizard Legally, in Spain they aren't cars (like a 49cc scooter), they are light cuadricycles. To drive one of those you don't need a driving license, only with a drive permission that you can get in a week is enough. They're not build to be safe over theyr construction speed limit. It's an alternative to a 49cc scooter. I think a light cuadricycle y safer than a scooter. That's the objective that theyre manufactured for
They are not the same as a scooter. These have 490cc engines, the scooter will be 49cc. These would struggle to move with a 49cc engine because they are heavy enough.
i saw some guy driving an aixam at 80km/h on a nearby motorway and the car was registered as a quadricycle like ATVs usually are (not a light quadricycle like microcars usually are registered) which do not have speed limits here in Finland and you can drive them with a normal car driving license. seemed kinda sketchy but hey, law is the law.
C'mon guyz, when you say safety the Renault tweezy doesn't comes to mind. There are some vehicles in wich no human being has died this year and in 2017 too. But those are the Audi q7 and the volvo vxc90. It definetly came as a surprise for all of you.
That Chatenet car where the rear window shattered, but the windscreen held in the front crash. So not only is your vehicle rogered, but you've been killed by a thousand glass pieces to the back of the head.
The micro cars are predominately made for the French market. with a max speed of 50 kph they are driven on all French roads except the Autoroutes (130 kph limit) just about every driver has been banned from driving or never held a driving licence ( a loophole in French law) they are more expensive new than a basic car as these people have no choice. You can imagine how dangerous these plastic pigs are on a 90 or 110kph road.
We also have these micro cars in Belgium. People without a license, or with a suspended license can drive them legally. For many decades, those cars didn't even have a license plate.(!) It's only recently that they changed the law and the license plate became mandatory.
There are those in finland and almost every week there is a story about how a teenager died or was seriously injured driving these. These "cars" are nothing more than a 500cc engine and plastic and for some reason these cost as much as a real car, can go only 45km/h and still people buy these when you could have a moped or a scooter for fraction of the money and helmet is better than that thing.
Then... People says that Grande Punto is the worst vehicle in euro ncap with 0 stars... Again, VAG group and BMW dropping shit over italian companies...
A ver, ¿los asientos no van atornillados al chasis? y ¿los cinturones de seguridad se rompen así como así?.... ¿y lo que choca lateralmente es un camión? Porque menudas vigas de acero lleva. Todo muy curioso...
This crash test is completely biased. Most of these "cars" have 50kmh speed limit (plus they can be used only on urban road where the limit is 50kmh) and che crash test is made at 50kmh. Cars max speed is 140kmh to more than 300kmh, they can go on highways where the speed limit is 130kmh to infinite (on german autobahn) and the crash test is made at 70kmh. Impact speed for urban vehicles should be around 30kmh.
This is really bad and "cars" like that should be forbidden on normal roads, because many (older) people don't know that it is very dangerous and not comparable with real cars. Before thinking about buying such a death trap, try to get a real driver license and buy an old VW Lupo or something like that - every car is much safer.
![Как устроены швейные машинки? [Veritasium]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FFW0GcMCgd0/mqdefault.jpg)
Well, the Twizy is actually safer than a Chinese midsize saloon.
I like the way it sheds all the body panels in the frontal impact like one of those Crash Dummies toys from the 90s.
Car Lover I would have never guessed
It's actually advantageous to shed those body panels. It means that some of the energy has left the vehicle, so slightly less deformation of the cabin takes place.
RWBHere+ There's another benefit too, the shower of bodypanels will also disperse nearby pedestrians thus reducing the number of people gawping at you after the crash XD
Car Lover
Actually, the newer Chinese cars are all getting pretty good crash test ratings. It's mostly the Indian cars that are dangerous as hell now!
EURO NCAP ran out of car to test, so they did this just for lols
tokekkk you are from Indonesia right? Hahaha...
They just to make sure this quadbike never legally run on the highway
😂😂😂😂
1:00 I appreciate Renault for still giving front airbags...
It's not like they cost a fortune, but Chinese like to cut corners on their cheap cars.

Did anyone see how the seatbelt brokes at 8:42 ?
yes your right !!
I noticed that. completely sheared off at the deflection point ... NOT impressive for a2017 vehicle =/
that wasn't the only car where that happened.
That car deserves a negative star rating.
Not sure, but this may be the desired behaviour to minimise harm done by seatbelt itself. It takes on the first blast and then releses not to break dummys chest.
Where in the real life u will do 50km/h in a golf car hahahha ha ? Soon bicycle test at 180km/h.
Oncoming traffic will.
Exactly.
If a golf cart can achieve 50kph and it's approved as street legal for european roads, it should be tested as any other 4-wheeled vehicle.
In theory yes, however as it doesn't fall under vehicule restrictions or definition it doesn't. It's up to the driver then to be smart about it.
I wanted to comment the exact same😂😂
IMHO, the Twizy has a good result, i wouldn't call it a failure, don't forget that the Twizy has no doors and it is supposed to be an upgrade to a motorcycle, not a true car. ;)
+Bryan M. You can get doors, which may provide a little more protection from side impacts. I am a soon to be Twizy owner, so cannot let this put me off.
Twizy is the next step of a light cuadricycle (Aixam, Chatenet, Ligier, etc) which are the next step of a scooter
It's not all about damage. The renault has little to none crumple zones which means all the energy is transferred to the driver.
'upgrade' yeah if only motorcycles held you on the bike and forced the handlebars into your face in a crash lol.
Can't filter in a twizzy so it isn't an upgrade from a motorbike. It's supposed to be an alternative to getting a 50cc moped on a provisional license.

Now i know the twizy isn’t a Volvo.. but i was amazed over that it got 2 stars... those are killer machines🙃
tazzari zero classic is absolutely pathetic death trap
the seatbelts actually snap and this is still just a 50 km/h crash
100% certain death trap/coffin
I'm so sorry but I really had to laugh out loud when I saw the Golf cart crash test. That poor dummy. However not funny at all when there are real people inside. Seems micro car producers have their work cut out for them now
+Autogefühl I think that real people don't drive a golf chart on the road or at 50km/h. :)
Also not a whole lot to get into a serious crash with on a golf course, the worse thing that could happen is driving into a bunker.
Can that golf cart really achieve that speed???????
That's what i was thinking... why test it if it can't even top 15 lol
It's not that the golf cart is unable to achieve 50 kph and quite safe on a fairway. These are also used on holiday camps & other places, where another vehicle could be in collision with one at 50 kph, or even 35 + 15 for the cart.
Did anyone see the seatbelt snap in the last car??
Driving 50mp/h with my golf cart here in Germany every day.
I've yet to see a golf cart that can do 50 km/h, particularly since they're banned from being faster than 30 Km/h in the EU, for obvious reasons... NCAP is trolling hard. As far as the others are concerned, c'mon... did anyone really expect different results?
mor7im3r there are some modified vehicles that can reach these speeds, plus imagine going downhill and the brakes fail., this is the end resul.t
the issue is its limited to 425kg or so... there is not much room for safety improvments without makeing it worse elsewhere.... if i would be in politics i would get rid of that so its 900kg empty weight give it a better motor like 25HP and 1000~ccm the car can be certified for dual speed mode aka 45 and 70... ppl with AM can get AM+ (6 lessons for securtiy) wich allows that the limit of the car is 70kph
How's that steering wheel taste? haha
+World Traveler东北 lol =)
since these small city cars don't get any real benefit in safety why just not ride a motorcycle for city traffic, honestly i feel safer on my motorcycle than in any of these microcars
+TheTonicro These vehicles are much safer than a motorcycle or a bicycle ;)
You don’t get wet.
You can’t fall off them.
You can carry a few day’s grocery shopping.
These at least get up to one or two stars, motorcycles are on a solid -1, the only crumple zone is your face.
Motorcycles are WAY more unsafe.
WOW... I have a Toyota iQ... glad to see... 2:38
0:53 what my hard boiled egg sees before I crack it open.
ALL OF THEM: POOR RATING
TOYOTA IQ: GOOD RATING
Clorox Bleach the Toyota IQ is an actual car though, not a quadrocycle. Course it's safer.
Darn that Quadricycle was on my list to buy as a family vehicle.
+kevin n You mean the Renault Twizy? There's only 2 seats in it anyway.
Yah the kids would sit on our laps....I'm old school.
kevin n lamo in a crash they will fly out o f wind shield :D
Those microcars are for 15 to 18 year olds who can't drive "real" cars legally. That's why it is pointless to compare them to Toyota iQ etc. The microcars are also limited to 50 km/h.
wait its illegal to drive SAFE vehicles for that age groupe
Yes. Microcars are comparable to mopeds.
Smart car is a micro car, yet it can reach speeds up to 160 km/h
Where can you only drive a normal car at 18 but can drive a micro car at 15? Is it France? France has some silly car laws.
In Finland :D but young people have started to drive side by side atv´s they are more safe and quiker
Really suprising how good the twizy did
golf cart aside, most of these dont even have a collapsible steering column.. They have been around since the mid sixties.

How does the Aixam Crossover GTR get 1️⃣star rating?
Micro Quadricycle are limited to 350 kilograms. Good luck fitting in a decent chassis that can absorb those impacts within such limitations.
+Av987 exactly my thoughts, the real reason for their unsafeness is, ironically, legislation.

In US is town where they mostly drive by golf cart. It was planned for that.
for twizzy the head is safe but not really the legs. at least you have a chance to survive
I bet that neck-bending angle at 0:39 shouldn't be too good for your posture 😂😂
7:44 - Looks like China intentionally makes their steering wheels pop out in order to protect the driver's head.
The twizy is so safe
No
@@michalzajac9498 he’s being sarcastic
But the problem is, the Chatenet CH30 doesn't have an airbag and no side curtain airbags. One more problem, how does the... Chatenet CH30 get 2️⃣stars?! That is my problem!
you should add GTA "wasted" to the crash test failures
Dont listen to the side impact reno twizzy they forgot to put the doors on

No, they didn't forget it. As always, the Euro NCAP tests the Standard version of the vehicle and in case of the Renault Twizy, the standard version has no doors. You have to buy them separately.

Those first few cars can't even go up to 50 lol 😂😂😂
So it's like a whole car segment of death machines?
Micro Quadricycle cars the future of automotive industry, no joke
At 3:51 it looks like a stearing wheel deploys, the airbag
I ment " at 3:51 it looks like the airbag comes out of the stearing wheel.
En plus là ce n'est qu'à 50 Km/h mais la Renault Twizy et la Tazzari Zéro peuvent aller jusqu'à 80 et 100 Km/h
in the tweezy you can be both the driver and the passenger airbag
Не, ну порвавшийся ремень я вижу впервые 😂.
Это конечно верх халатности.
In conclusion in every golf car crash test...your neck will break.😦

Safety in these cars is very similar to my Seicento :) Except Toyota IQ :)
Thats why you should drive a tank while golfing

You can imagine how dangerous these plastic pigs are on a 90 or 110kph road.
oh wow u can drive them with banned license really?

Even more dangerous are the ones never had a licence.
very interesting, didnt know that. Will look out for those when I am in .fr next time
We also have these micro cars in Belgium. People without a license, or with a suspended license can drive them legally.
For many decades, those cars didn't even have a license plate.(!)
It's only recently that they changed the law and the license plate became mandatory.

Why is there no airbags
they cost too much
I think the twizy is the best
50 km/h in a golf car? 35 km/h IS the top speed for a golf car
Should the golf car run on the street and be hit by an incoming car, this would almost mean certain death for the golf car driver.

side swipes induce dabbing ... good to know
Do bicycles and scooters next
note:due to how slow most quadricycle is,you didn't need to have crash tests.
is the twizy even a vehicle?
C'est vraiment bête que le gouvernement n'autorise pas 100 Kg de + pour équiper les véhicules d'équipements de sécurité!
