FROM 0 TO 100 IN 3.8 SECONDS

With its electric powertrain, the TWIKE 5 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3.8 seconds.

Because there is currently no vehicle in this performance class that could be as efficient on the road. For TWIKE riders and many friends, the mobility revolution is already part of everyday life.

YOU SHOULD TAKE 10,000 STEPS

The electronically adjustable pedal generator in the TWIKE 5 mutates from a range extender to a life extender. This is because “regular physical exercise lowers the risk of chronic diseases, contributes to mental well-being and reduces mortality”, according to a unanimous consensus in scientific articles on this topic.
