TWIKE LION - Crazy looking European Electric Car

We have extended list of electric car manufacturers with two more European manufacturers (Germany), namely TWIKE and City EL (thanks Franko - i'd love to hear from your experience with Twike - let me know at editorATdomain). We bet that only few of you heard about Twike, but truth is, that this is one of the more unique approaches (exterior of the vehicle included) to personal transporter - to 100% clean, electric car, a plug-in. Twike electric cars can already be seen on twike-ferrari.jpgEuropean roads, and company just announced the Li-Ion version of the vehicle (Twike LION). The Twike LION has a reach of over 150 km (95 miles) and same top speed as original Twike - 85 km/h (50 mph). Li Ion managed pack enables fast charge (1 km every minute), and there is no memory effect, meaning we can charge it even after a short ride. New batteery also features low self discharge, so LION TWIKE can stand idle for a few days and the maximum range is still nearly the same. Besides battery pack, not much has changed in Twike - meaning, engine is still 3 or 5 kW electric motor, with option to pedal the vehicle (yes, you read correctly)!

One suggestion. If the creaters of this website want to promote electric vehicles, promote them! Where are the company links? Why is ther no "WHERE TO BUY" tab so we can find dealers. All of the information about electric vehicles is useless if you don't know where to get one.

Hello
This appeal to the owner of the company.
Upon receipt of your written, notarized guarantee confirming you accept my humble obligation to fulfill the requirements, namely, the payment, the provisions of royalties amounting to 50% of the entire prescribed period (50 or 70 years, I do not know). 20% of the sums received from the sale of the invention by a third-party companies or states. To your profits from the production of cars with my invention, I have no relationship to 100%. A patent for an invention to be your full and unconditional property, which should be documented in the letter of guarantee or contract.
Proposal; fold increase in the mileage of electric vehicle with the possibility of increasing its weight, respectively, providing the best comfort and capacity, without structural changes or additional hardware. In your car will be a highly efficient generator, rechargeable battery is the motion of its own weight. The greater the mass of cars, the stronger the generation and vice versa.
A prototype of the charger can produce in one day, having spent on it, no more, thousands of dollars. The evidence of my innocence are in the pockets of all smokers, and the second part of industry produces billions of already more than one hundred years. So all easy if you know how to be attentive and received Soviet engineering education since the early seventies.
I will wait for the answer a week, if earn hundreds of billions spent thousands for you to "unbearable", or your attorney is difficult to issue a patent application for $ 1200 for the company, will be forced to offer the invention to others. Wait, I do not like. I hope for your understanding and pragmatism, adding that the mechanism does not harm the environment, is a benchmark in this regard, has far-reaching consequences for the real development of the energy is the key to eco-friendly 21.

May 21 I turn 57, hydraulic engineer with 35 years experience, orthodox, father of two wonderful sons, Marat Babamuratov Akhmedovich.
