This is the evolution of the velomobile. Score one point for fully faired recumbent trikes! The human speed record is on a fully faired recumbent bike. It went 83 mph on half a horse power of human pedaling alone. Just imagine the possibilities if you include ultra lightweight motor, batteries and solar panels.
Unfortunately we have taken the road of huge heavy cars and trucks . I would love a small car, but then you look at those huge SUVs and trucks on the road. I would love to see rapid transit , key word rapid and high speed rails . That combined with small cars like this and bicycle friendly cities. Doubt in my life time , if ever. We pollute like crazy . Tesla cars pollute just as much when you factor in manufacturing the car, factories, mining the minerals for batteries, the electricity needed ,.... Its mind boggling
RV-120 and RV-100 motors are outrunner brushless motora, Powerful, Lightweight, Low KV,good for ebike, etrike, go-ped, go-kaer, electric conversions and many other projects..
Key words: three quarter of a million. Quarter of a million per participant. Nice figures. Funny thing is... Have these guys tested their creation for collision at 64 km/h? Seat belt and SRS cooperation? It is extremely simple to create fuel efficient car. You need to make that fuel efficient car safe. And reliable. Where it is now?
Three quarters of a million euros?? Its not even gold plated! For one hundred thousand I could have put this thing together. Its not a new concept there have been many cars like it before and there design is not really that aerodynamic it has no rear wheel skirts and its not airfoil shaped. Somebody is walking around with 500 thousand euros in their pocket!
Schien ein hoffnungsvolles Projekt - so leicht und geringer Windwiderstand das am Akku gespart werden kann - ich hatte vor den TW4XP zu kaufen- weil er auch gut aus sieht und man sich damit nicht lächerlich macht. Es wurde nie durchgezogen aber für Investorengelder geworben. Ich bin froh das ich nicht investiert habe.
Gotta give these guys credit for getting the suspension geometry right. It's tricky with this type of vehicle.
It looks so cool it's like a space ship I want one! ! ! ! !
It's got only one wheel at the front but the low profile makes cornering easier. But with 2 wheels at the back, it can carry more payload.

I can't believe we have been driving 5000 pound cars to move 1 person all these years??
And very long to drive будемо шеїздити
looks great
Хорошая машинка для города
cool concept.
Put it in production I want one

Идея хорошая но долго привыкать к рычагам,не проще было бы поставить откитдной руль как в самолете штурвал?

The TW4XP is in Germany and it has been finalized. (Sorry for my bad english)
As my dreams. About how much will it cost?
Is this the reason insurance rates just keep climbing?
lansingman2002 nah mate. 3ton hummer vees and other cars that cant avoid accidents are why insurance keeps going up. less is more. newtons law.
It would be better with a steering wheel. I tried "lever" steering in the 1970`s and it sucked. Not enough control.
I rather a steering wheel

Why don't you do it then?
I could do it for 50,000 Euros. Got anyone who could be my backer?
Doable, but 800 volts? A bit extreme...would own...
no steering wheel no dice.
me to
hello my friends
more details would of been better.
Import Thailand now
junk unsafe
