Team Bio

Imagine driving through the countryside, the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin, producing no air pollution and using no fossil fuels while having fun and the benefit of healthy, individual mobility.

The Project TW4XP is a hybrid of electricity and human power.

The ability to accelerate fast, quietly and cleanly comes from the efficient electric engine in combination with the use of regenerative energy.

The additional possibility to move and train your body with a pedaling mechanism while traveling expands the range but mostly makes fun and sense.

How did you become involved in the team?
Electric mobility has been in the blood of many of our team members for a long time. Martin Moescheid, his brother Wolfgang, and Bernd Werner have been driving TWIKEs since 1996 privately and for business. The TWIKE is a light electric mobile which has been built in limited-lot production since 1996. In collaboration with Scientists and students of the University of Kassel, Germany the core team had been working on an electric vehicle for mass production for quite some time. When they became aware of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize they instantly signed up, seeing this as the ideal framework for the development of the new vehicle and as a fantastic challenge and chance.

Technical Inspection

July 20, 2010

Last two days, all teams went through “Technical Inspection”. Vehicles are inspected for safety. This sounds easy, because all teams have already passed the technical inspection twice at the beginning of Shakedown and Knockout.
