Forty years ago, the first prototype was developed at ETH Zurich. Now the latest version of the aerodynamic combination of car and bike, the “Twike 5”, is in the starting blocks.
Parallel to the construction of the first production-like vehicle frame, the design of all visible surfaces in the TWIKE 5’s interior is currently being finalized.
APPROVALThe TWIKE 5 is EU-approved. In addition to the purchase invoice, you will receive a COC (Certificate of Conformity) with the vehicle, which can be used to register the vehicle directly with the relevant registration authority. It may be necessary to provide proof of payment of the locally due VAT. In this case, TWIKE GmbHContinue reading “TWIKE 5 – Registration and driver’s license”
Procurement of the individual parts for the near-series vehicle frame is currently in full swing.
The TWIKE 5 is a three-wheeled electric vehicle that has attracted the attention of sustainable mobility enthusiasts.
If you want to travel with a TWIKE 5 with a trailer, you will automatically opt for a light, unbraked trailer in most countries, as the TWIKE 5 may tow a maximum of 250 to 300 kg and the weight on the trailer coupling is limited to a maximum of 25 kg.
The two sidesticks and their electrical functions are the main link in the so-called HMI (Human Machine Interface) between the pilot and the TWIKE 5.
The first driver test vehicle (FET) is running. We had fully expected the test drives to meet all expectations.
Convertible or T-Top Targa? Fabric or hardtop? In principle, both were conceivable in order to close the interior of the TWIKE 5 over the head area.
The development cycle of the vehicle frame (Body in white) can be considered complete for the prototypes.
