The video never showed the car actually moving. But if he does pull that chances are he is going to need a new transmission since in the US the insight isn't rated for towing and the European version is rated at 1000 lbs. it could mess up the frame of the car too

He should connect the safety chains and take the lock off the trailer wheel.

The CVC transmission wouldn't handle towing either.

I would definitely not trust it to tow more than 770lbs.
