ACCU

We have been continuously developing the TWIKE for 20 years. The range has increased tenfold in this time and depends on the battery size selected for the TWIKE. A battery with a capacity of 9 Ah in the TWIKE 3 already allows a range of up to 65 km with normal driving, with seven batteries with 63 Ah even up to 450 km. In spring 2015, we even drove 613 km on a single charge.

OUR LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER

The TWIKE is particularly impressive in everyday use: The lithium-ion batteries are simply recharged after each ride. Even after short distances, the TWIKE can already be plugged back into the socket. There is no need for time-consuming battery maintenance, as was necessary with earlier battery generations. There is no longer a memory effect.

613 KM RECORD

In the first year of the TWIKE 3, 1995, we covered the distance from Rosenthal to Putbus (Stralsund) by TWIKE. For the 613 km we had to plan 14 loading breaks at that time. In March 2015 we drove the same route again. Our latest generation TWIKE 3 was equipped with 7 batteries of 3.5 kWh each, giving a total capacity of 24.7 kWh. The day was stormy and wet – not good conditions for the trip. Nevertheless, we managed the 613 km without a single intermediate charge.
