Vitesco Technologies is using its EMR3 electric axle drive outside the passenger car sector for the first time. In the TWIKE 5, the EMR3 (Electronics Motor Reducer) will deliver 70 kW and will therefore be able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reach speeds of up to 190 km/h according to the current state of development. On the other hand, WLTP consumption of just 6.9 kWh/100 km and a range of more than 400 kilometers are expected.

Since November 2020, it has been possible to support the TWIKE project without buying a vehicle. The web portal Nachhaltig Investieren has named the project one of the most sustainable investments this month and explains how and where sustainable investments can be made in general, scrutinizes and lists the most sustainable of the sustainable according to the motto: Fighting together for more transparency in the financial sector.

Jan-Frederik Niehues, a student at FH Aachen, decided to dedicate his final thesis in Product Design (B.A.) to a design study of “TWIKE X”. This aims to strengthen the TWIKE brand image in a forward-looking way and generate well-deserved attention for this exceptionally sustainable vehicle. He is supervised by Prof. Manfred Wagner and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thilo Röth
