The Days of Industrial Heritage take place in North Hesse. Joint activities such as the “Blue Sunday” are intended to make North Hesse’s industrial culture tangible for visitors. For this reason, our Hesse explorer Daniel Koop is visiting the company “Twike” today, which is also opening its doors to visitors to mark the event. We find out how light electric vehicles from Hesse are helping to shape the energy transition.

With the smooth transition to electric transportation, there are more and more new types of vehicles. And the Twike 5, a new product that will soon go into production, seemed very interesting to us.

The TWIKE 5 electric vehicle is set to replace the Twike 3. At first glance, it looks like a car, although like its predecessor it is a tricycle.

With 6 square meters of solar cells, the TWIKE 5 can already travel 15,000 km a year powered solely by solar energy.

Taking a pedal car onto the highway sounds like a ¬dead man’s ride, but not so with the Twike 5. This human-electric hybrid tricycle is equipped with a safety cage for its occupants and reaches speeds of up to 190 km/h.

The TWIKE is this incredible electric tricycle whose range can be extended by activating the on-board pedals. Forget the old figures, though: the TWIKE 5 should be able to reach speeds of 190 km/h and a range of 500 kilometres!

With the TWIKE 5, FINE Mobile GmbH shows that electromobility can not only be clean, but also beneficial to health. With its pedal drive and electric motor, the 500-kilogramme tricycle can reach speeds of up to 200 km/h.
