If this car succeeds the bet of being able to be used without almost never plugging it into an outlet, there, it will become interesting (at least, in my opinion).


I agree to go in the direction of using Enr on this style of vehicle. An energy balance should be assessed to assess how long it takes to recharge with solar or wind. In my opinion, just that excess weight will be very penalizing. Not to mention that to park, the wind turbine must be well positioned or that you are not in the shade : Cheesy:
Not very convenient, all that ...
It is better to have a fixed recharging station connected to a wind turbine placed on a good site or a PV panel facing due south. Even if it has 2 batteries, one in service and one in charge.

As Christophe says, he only shows the vehicle on the descent ... It must be less funny after the climb, LOL !!!

As for the Twike, I lean towards utopia ... It must be very nice in summer on special tracks ... But on the road and in all weathers, it will be less fun right, right ?!

As for hybrid electric / muscular vehicles, there are quite a few that exist !! In the past, there was already our good old solex, but in thermal!
However, a hybrid quad, I have never seen that! And that is an interesting project !! If he is more pantonized, it becomes enticing ...

cheaper in Switzerland than in France

Bonjour à tous

It's good, but it's expensive.
I do not imagine going to work with this machine, I will be forced to take the secondary roads and frankly I will be too scared to be crushed.

The prices do not fall, I do not know who said above that it was the fact of the prices in Switzerland but the I contradict there are many products cheaper in Switzerland than in France country of the commercial scam.

In my opinion, at 15.000 € in basic price (according to twike.ch), it is rather utopia.
For that price, you have a second-hand car that can make journeys of a hundred km (twike tests ...), insurance and even fuel ... :|
