First advance payment for pre-order (pre-order) / Rank up the advance payment (rank up) / Pre-order the PIONEER EDITION

Not only the TWIKE is special, but also the way it is financed. Just like the TWIKE 3 over 25 years ago, the TWIKE 5 is largely financed by the TWIKE community. We will deliver the TWIKE 5 / TWIKE 6 based on an online ranking. This is based on the cumulative interest on the advance payments made on the pre-order of the TWIKE 5 / TWIKE 6. It is only possible to secure a TWIKE 5 by pre-ordering with advance payment.

In recent months, we have often had to explain the connection between limited financial resources and the resulting slower progress in development. Despite limited resources, we are making visible and impressively tangible progress in our development. Some of the longer development loops had a positive effect, giving us time to create the better solution for some details.

However, we want and need to follow suit financially. In order to start production quickly, we need to complete development and order components. To finance this, we have come up with an offer package that rewards the support of early adopters even more than before: The TWIKE 5 PIONEER EDITION.

While a target price was defined at the beginning of the project, which was always a helpful guide for us when planning the budget, it became clear after evaluating the now better known costs that the sales price for cost-covering production could not be maintained. We currently expect the sales price to be at least 15 % higher than our original assumption. The higher costs are largely due to the more development-intensive body platform, which will also be used in the subsequent TWIKE 6.

Although the owner of a TWIKE 5 will also benefit from the higher quality and performance, this investment in the future should not be at the expense of early adopters with early prepayment. On the contrary, we would like to give them an advantage with the PIONEER EDITION offer and guarantee the originally envisaged €49,900 for the larger battery as a fixed purchase price.

The offer is intended not only as a reward for the risk borne, but also to provide a decisive boost to the financing of the project supported by the community. On the one hand, we intend to motivate enough customers to make an early advance payment before the start of series production and, on the other hand, to make a strong statement for negotiations with banks and investors, for example, with the order situation backed by advance payments.

The following therefore applies: The offer phase for the PIONEER EDITION runs indefinitely, but can be terminated at any time without notice. However, you can secure a vehicle at the fixed price of €49,900 with a one-off payment of the fixed price or with a cumulative minimum down payment on the following dates.

• 22.06.25 – 10.000 €
• 10.08.25 – 25.000 €
• 14.09.25 – 35.000 €
• 26.10.25 – 45.000 €
• 14.12.25 – 49.900 €

If you pay the full amount (€49,900) in advance by 30.05.2025, you can still secure the following preferential prices for the options:

• Co-Pilot Pedal System 477.78 € (later 800 €)
• Trailer Hitch 588,89 € (later 1.000 €)
• XTRA Torque 566.67 € (later 1,800 €)

The coordination and confirmation of the desired options and the Pioneer Edition takes place in direct exchange between the prepayer and the TWIKE team(order@twike.com).

From 07.04.2025, the following conditions apply to advance payments: Interest of 6% p.a. will be charged on the amounts paid. In the event of withdrawal from the purchase request, the advance payment made, including interest, will be repaid after 36 months.

In addition to the new, attractive PIONEER EDITION offer, there is also the option of regular reservations with a freely selectable advance payment as well as financing support through subordinated loans secured by inventory.
