“The Twike5 … is a compact sports car for active drivers and, in my opinion, plays in a completely different segment (Toyota Yaris GR, Porsche Cayman etc.). The Twike is more for enthusiasts who are not interested in boring, standardized cars and enjoy driving.
However, the fact that the market for special and high-priced small series vehicles still works (worldwide) is demonstrated by such niche manufacturers as Caterham, Radical, Morgan …”.
This reader comment in an electric vehicle forum hits a nerve. Because the efficiency of the electric drive, the lightweight construction and the optimized aerodynamics, as well as the integrated fitness unit and the seat ergonomics tailored to it alone do not describe the TWIKE concept sufficiently. Its year-round use and high transportation benefits clearly distinguish it from vehicles designed solely for leisure. With their strong focus on safe driving dynamics, the experts involved in the development have also achieved a real feat.
A low center of gravity, optimum wheel load distribution, sophisticated chassis kinematics, a high-quality spring-damper system and ergonomically optimized side-stick steering – these are all ingredients for a super agile riding machine.
As meaningful as the visible unique selling points already are, feeling the impressive driving dynamics in everyday life once again impressively distances it from the usual offerings. And the combination of all these features makes the TWIKE 5 a unique sports car in our opinion.
