Twike (TW4XP)
At the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the
Swiss brand Twike which offering electrified tricycles/velomobiles presents the
latest evolution of their work.
The Twike is an electric tricycle that
is based on the same principle as a pedelec with an electric motor that assists
your effort but with a enclosed cockpit and a passenger next to you.
This TW4XP which was until then just a
prototype is presented on the Frankfurt Motor Show as a near-production version
announcing the Twike 5 expected for 2014.
The shape and design of the original
Twike necessarily remind you something, in fact this vehicle was born from a
student project initially launched in 1986, since then, more than 1000 units
have been sold and it also achieved a world tour with the "Project
Icare".
Presented as a concept at the moment,
the lastest evolutions offer a new design, more actual making it more
desirable.
For the moment no price or specs sheet
of the Twike 5 are announced - but the Twike 3 currently available is priced
from € 16,772 battery excluded (from € 5,847 to € 11,694 depending on the
capacity) with a consumption of 5kWh per 100 km and a top speed of 85 km/h.
Depending on the battery chosen range can go up to 500 km.
