	TWIKE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TWIKE owners, who often refer to themselves as TWIKE pilots, host periodic gatherings and tours in Europe and the United States to popularize the vehicle and celebrate its driving experience, which enthusiasts describe as an entertaining form of cardio-vascular exercise.
		Originally developed in Switzerland, the TWIKE is now manufactured in Germany by Fine Mobile GmbH and may be driven on public roads by drivers with a full driving license.
		TWIKES are expected to become available for purchase in the United States, Canada and Mexico in the summer of 2006 on a special order basis.

	TWIKE in english
		The TWIKE active is the newest version of the original hybrid design with decoupled pedals for driver and passenger.
		Whether you are driving to work, for shoping or into the nature, when driving a TWIKE being in a bad mood is practically impossible: the smiling faces of the passers-by and the fun driving the vehicle cheer you up in no time.
		The TWIKE is fitted with a hydraulic brake system, a disk on the front wheel and drums at the rear.

	The Twike
		Twike clubs have been formed in Switzerland that sponsor village to village tours, rating restaurants in part by the friendliness of their charging facilities.
		There is something amazingly cinematic in the night scene where Twike after Twike passes in review before the camera and a crowd of spectators… A copy of the film can be obtained from Michael by contacting him here.
		In the case of a side impact, there is undeniably very little between a Twike occupant and the bumper of a heavier vehicle, although front and rear collisions are buffered by fore and aft crumple zones.

	nerdshit.com: The Twike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Twike pilots (Twike owners seem to prefer this over "drivers" -- perhaps it's the joystick steering) can exert as much effort as they desire to power the vehicle, but the Twike can still run at full speed and power on batteries alone.
		The Twike is as much a PEV on steroids as it is a micro-car.
		As with the vehicles in both categories, the Twike is a niche vehicle for intracity transit, and could conceivably serve well as a short-range commute or errand car, with longer trips handled by rented or shared vehicles.

	Eric Shackle's eBook - Twike
		The Twike is a light electric vehicle for two passengers, with an optional hybrid power train.
		They claim the Twike is the most efficient motorised vehicle on the market, capable of covering 550 miles on a gallon of petrol.
		The message for a lasting and futurable mobility was carried about the TWIKE with the necessary sportyness to South-east Europe and understood without explaining words.

	RCN #63: The Twike Challenge (by Victor Muñoz)
		A trained architect, part of the impetus for his involvement with the Twike was the need to reduce acid rain, which apart from its other ill effects, is fast defacing ancient buildings throughout Europe.
		One of the outstanding features of the Twike, a product of it lightness and energy miserliness, is that–unlike many electric vehicles of the past and even many yet to come–it can recharge on ordinary house current at a very fast rate: 1 hour on 220 Volts, 2 hours on 110 Volts.
		There is no comparing the damage done to the human frame and flesh by the soft, pliant nose of a Twike and the steel cage of even a "safe" car like a Volvo, backed by six times as much mass...

	[Velomobile] Twike in Vermont - very long
		Here is the interesting story of Ron Manganillo, a Vermonter who bought a Twike a few years ago and is now (as far as I know) trying to sell it as a result of the Federal attention resulting from the Robnett's Twike situation in Portland.
		The individual servicing Ron's Twike mentioned in their article that they had to replace a number of parts badly corroded by the Vermont salt - not very surprising for New England, but interesting to get some info about how such a vehicle handles our Winters.
		Details, details The Twike is about 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, with three wheels - two drive wheels in the rear and one front wheel.

	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Hybrid-Electric... Bicycle
		Add the "Twike" to the list, albeit with a disclaimer: while it sounds like an all-too-precious version of "trike" (an impression supported by its three wheels), the word has not heard in the same way in Switzerland and Germany, its point of origin.
		I seriously doubt that the twike would be allowed on the bike path, the curb lane, or even the sidewalk.
		Eric, you're right that it's unlikely that the twike (or a similar enclosed hybrid-electric bike) would be able to go up on the sidewalk or curb to avoid traffic -- of course, that's not entirely legal (at least from what I remember of bike-related road use laws).

		Well, technically speaking any electrified bicycle is an HHEV, but what makes the Twike interesting is it's designed for speeds up to 55 miles/hr, can get a great range, and is all-around a great vehicle.

	Motoring - Meet the Twike: An electric car with a difference
		The Twike may sound like a three-wheeled contraption for an eccentric but this two-seater battery car is a serious, if expensive, proposition.
		Finding electricity isn't a problem with their standard three-pin plugs - and there is always the Twike Active version with bicycle wheels for both driver and passenger, allowing you to go without the wait (and get some exercise).
		Twikes are certainly getting out in force on the continent, where 700 have been let loose since they started production in Switzerland in 1996, moving in 1998 to Germany.
