Brooke Shields Goes From 'Pretty Baby' To Gorgeous Woman
Twike
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Vanity Fair's green issue is pretty compelling reading and they have listed all sorts of
eco-friendly options. One of the most interesting is this little vehicle known as the Twike. It's a human-electric hybrid vehicle which holds two passengers. It has
side-by-side recumbent bicycle seating and like other pedal-power vehicles we have seen recently it takes its design
cues from small aircraft. The Twike can hit a speed of up to 55 mph courtesy of its rechargeable NiCd (NiMH) batteries.
It is steered by a joystick and there are two versions, an Active version for those who want to add their own pedal
power and the Easy for those who want to let the battery do the work. It's been around for a while (it's been on sale
since the late 1990s) and is pretty popular in Switzerland, where it was originally created. The Twike costs around
$20,000 and they now have U.S. distribution. Can this small vehicle make it on U.S.
roads? At its current speed it's not quite freeway friendly but maybe it could work in some areas.
