Der Hersteller des Elektrodreirads TWIKE hat beim Genfer Auto-Salon einen aktuellen Ausblick auf sein neuestes Produkt gegeben. Das Modell 5 soll bis zu 190 km/h schnell fahren, dabei aber nur halb so viel Energie wie herkömmliche Elektrofahrzeuge verbrauchen.
“The shift to electric will open up all sorts of new vehicle categories – and we found this one super interesting. The Twike 5 is kind of like a pedal-assist ebike, except it’s a fully enclosed car capable of 120 mph speeds and 310-mile range figures while letting you sneak in a bit of exercise.”
Before the Geneva Motor Show, Dirk visited us, electrically of course, in Rosenthal for an interview. And here is the result:
A great concept, a great vehicle, an incredibly interesting approach. We are keeping our fingers crossed. Enclosed more
It resembles a bumper car, has three wheels and runs on battery power: the TWIKE 5 – a hybrid of an electric car and a bicycle. In addition to clean transportation for commuters, the vehicle is also designed to boost fitness. A German company wants to bring the vehicle into series production.

Car, bike or helicopter? The fifth generation will then have significantly more power than the previous model, a top speed of up to 190 km/h and a range of 550 kilometers.
One of Germany’s most innovative electric vehicles comes from the provinces: FINE Mobile GmbH has been developing TWIKE in Rosenthal near Marburg since 2002. A mixture of cargo bike, racing car and electric car. The latest model, TWIKE 5 – “half a Tesla with twice the driving fun” – is now set to go into series production.

In my opinion, the TWIKE is the best pedal-electric velomobile you can buy today.
