In addition to the vehicle electrics and all chassis components, the body of the TWIKE 5, which is predominantly made of sheet metal shells, is currently undergoing its foreseeable final development run. There is still potential for greater rigidity in our e-mobile, especially in the rear area. A necessary reduction of the compression and rebound travel from +/- 80 mm to a comfortable 60 mm each allowed the lower connection of the suspension strut to the upper mounting eye.
By optimizing the connection of all aluminium profiles to these repositioned frame nodes, we have also gained considerable rigidity potential. In addition to the more theoretical optimization of the driving characteristics (lighter, stiffer, more defined), the trunk volume also increased to around 330 liters in this inevitable development loop. The loading area could be lowered and now has a base area of 100 x 73 cm.
The medium height of 50 cm allows you to transport 4 hop tea crates or 3 board cases, for example. If you also remove the passenger seat – this can be done in a few simple steps – you have a usable area of 110 x 60 cm or space for a further 4 travel bags. Globetrotters can alternatively use this through-loading facility with a total length of almost two meters as a dry and comfortable berth for the planned round-the-world trip.
