Die Umrüstung der Energieversorgung des dreirädrigen Elektrofahrzeugs TWIKE 5 von 18650 Lithium-Ionen-Akku auf Batterien im VDA-Format zwingt die Entwickler zu Anpassungen, bietet dabei aber erkennbare Vorteile.
With the new hall, we are expanding our production capacity by a further 300 square meters.
The first sample of a TWIKE 5 frame was built in the last few days. The individual parts of the sheet metal shell construction were first joined with screws, thus providing an opportunity for final optimization.
It was to be a timeless circular display, positioned only a short distance from the viewing angle of the road.
The tension with the TWIKE battery has always been high – but this tension of the request was suddenly nerve-wracking.
A real thriller! In terms of development, we had to get back on track! But now the thriller could be solved to everyone’s advantage. Here is more.
We are very pleased to announce the supplier of our drive unit today: Vitesco Technologies, a leading international developer and manufacturer of modern drive technologies for sustainable mobility from Regensburg.
We would like to thank the first 200 pre-orders with an offer for life.
Initial simulations of the efficiency of the TWIKE 5 already show lower consumption despite more than 10 times the power of the TWIKE 3. In 2018, the TWIKE 3 took part in an efficiency race at the 24h ecoGP race in Oschersleben. With a TWIKE 5, an impressive 651 laps could be covered within these 24 hours, more than 200 laps more than with the TWIKE. Very motivating!
With the finalization of another important component, we have taken a significant step forward in TWIKE 5 vehicle development. We can already reveal this much: The TWIKE 5 drive unit consisting of motor, gearbox and high-voltage inverter comes from a renowned supplier and has already proven itself in mass-produced vehicles.
