Does it always have to be high speeds? No, but in some cases the resulting better acceleration can be very useful.
The TWIKE is the first and only vehicle to combine an electric motor with a pedal drive. Muscle power is converted directly into kinetic energy. This not only improves the efficiency of the vehicle, but also increases the range. The steady pedaling during the ride transforms the TWIKE from a pure means of transportation into a training machine for muscles and circulation.
TWIKE 5 UPDATE: cw value already optimized to 0.27.
The development of the Twike 5 will benefit another model that is already in the planning stage. This version, with less power and a more affordable price, will be marketed more widely in larger series.
For the second time in TWIKE’s history, the development of a new generation of vehicles – TWIKE 5 – was undertaken by the community. On July 31, 2019, the minimum funding target of two million euros was reached. The aim is now to start series production within the next six months.
Wer fährt da so spät noch durch Regen und Wind? Ist es der 5er? TWIKEs jüngstes Kind?
The Days of Industrial Heritage take place in North Hesse. Joint activities such as the “Blue Sunday” are intended to make North Hesse’s industrial culture tangible for visitors. For this reason, our Hesse explorer Daniel Koop is visiting the company “Twike” today, which is also opening its doors to visitors to mark the event. We find out how light electric vehicles from Hesse are helping to shape the energy transition.
The TWIKE was a COMMUNITY PROJECT from the very beginning and TWIKE pioneers have now managed to finance the development of a new generation of vehicles for the second time in the history of the TWIKE.
The expected range of the TWIKE 5 will be 405 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle prescribed for normal passenger cars.
With the smooth transition to electric transportation, there are more and more new types of vehicles. And the Twike 5, a new product that will soon go into production, seemed very interesting to us.
