- A crew, with a member of the TWIKE developer team, is driving throught the australian outback with a TWIKE in autumn 2007. They are participants of the Greenfleet category at the World Solar Challenge. For more Information visit www.twikeklub.ch
To get the Twike ready for such long distances the Range Extender has been developed and tested within term paper at the university of applied science in Bern.

This hilarious device seems to get a lot of people excited. I thought it was a joke video.
the range extender maintains it original environmental integrity, and at the same time makes the TWike a more flexible/practical vehicle for a broader range of transportation needs and conditions.
the range extender does not take away from the TWike. It merely makes it a more flexible/pratical vehicle for a broader range of transportation needs and conditions. The electric motors and batteries continue to be available.
@DeLorean4 it's a for stroke engine run on bio fuel. The twike is a three wheeler, therefore the range extender is the fourth wheel.
@OpCzar You haven's read the description. Purpose of this combination was the Greenfleet category at the World Solar Challenge in Australia. And btw. it has won in its category!
@tkemmere It's a four stroke engine
By the way this Twike has cool 'gullwing' doors which the normal Twikes don't have. Looks much more practical to me
@STUCASHX Ya right buddy, the original idea is lost. What sense does it make to have a dirt spilling motor on a clean vehicle? :-((
This a cool idea, although it does compromise a bit on the idea of the Twike as a silent and environmentally friendly vehicle.
Make a generating trailer a 24v a 36v a 48v a 72v and a 120v option with different kw generations. No range issues, if you're going far you can drive your ev partly electric and partly gas (hybrid) but usually just electric.
The gasoline engine is ridiculous. If it is indeed a two-stroke then it pretty much pollutes just as much as a Trabant. It would have been nice to engineer a generator that runs on bio-diesel, that way, pollutions levels would have been reduced and there wouldn't be the inefficiency of a fifth wheel on the Twike.
My apologies. I indeed hadn't see the justification for putting the outboard motor on. Of course I encourage participants of the Greenfleet category at the World Solar Challenge.
Yet I still basically think I have a point: Seeing a Twike with a 2-tact combustion engine is just weird to say the least :) I was immediately taken a back.
I have no better idea: The simple fact is that humanity has increasingly high demands on mobility and this is hard to realise with zero-footprint...
And why not add a solar panel on roof, or on a trailer wich recharge the twike when it is idle ?
Ist der Extender noch zulassungspflichtig
I think this addition defeats the object.
If your going to run a motor you could get better mileage if you take out the heavy electric motor and batteries!
Therefore it should just be a human/electric vehicle in my opinion.
why not just tow a silent Honda generator to charge batteries, you can buy small inverter generators that run on clean propane
So that's how you turn something green... into something brown!!!!!!
My opinion is that this solution is not good.
It goes completely against the purpose and philosophy of the TWIKE, namely to be an environmental friendly and silent mode of transportation.

@h1smadness Nein, dumme Leute machen dumme Kommentare. Lies mal die Info, es geht nur um die Teilnahme an der World Solar Challenge. Nebenbei gesagt, das Teil hat in seiner Kategorie gewonen. Kann also nicht wirklich braun sein!
Just rent a damn car when you're planning longer trips. It's less money than buying this proprietary thing, makes less noise pollution, produces less smog and won't be holding up traffic.
hahaha swiss technology! the flintstones bike was much better!
