driving dynamics

Quote from mobiles 38: “In order to meet future requirements for sustainable individual mobility, efficient alternatives to the resource- and energy-intensive car are needed. In this context, the three-wheel concept has only been implemented in a few applications and has therefore never been able to fully establish itself. The TWIKE, on the other hand, as a low-energy vehicle with electric drive and muscle power assistance, has long been in series production based on this concept. The TWIKE 5 model, which is currently under development, therefore retains its basic attributes. With an unladen weight of less than 500 kg, a very low energy consumption of 8 kWh per 100 km is achieved with high lateral and longitudinal dynamics. Thanks to the significantly lighter front axle, the three-wheel concept offers great potential for weight savings, while also optimizing aerodynamics and creating a unique selling point that is important for niche vehicles.”
