TWIKE 5 – WLTP range of 405 km

The expected range of the TWIKE 5 will be 405 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle prescribed for normal passenger cars. WLTP stands for “Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure”. This long range is possible because the TWIKE 5 will only consume around 7.3 kWh/100 km due to its low vehicle weight of less than 500 kg, a low _Cd value of around 0.24 and its small frontal area of 1.7 m^2. The high efficiency of the synchronous drive and its modern inverter also contribute significantly to this. The largest version of the 30 kWh Lion battery with a nominal voltage of 350V also has hardly any thermal losses, resulting in extremely high efficiency. If you deviate from the high speeds of the WLTP cycle and take even greater account of energy consumption in your driving style, you can even achieve ranges of over 600 km.
