Title: TWIKE
Post by: turtle on June 16, 2005, 10:47:42: Spotted this unusual motor in Central MK, more info can be found at www.twike.com

The TWIKE defines a new way of transport. From its first public appearance at the World Expo '86 in Vancouver, people were fascinated by this concept. In production since 1996, the TWIKE was mainly sold in Switzerland and Germany but also has worldwide appearance through the internet und active customers in the US and other countries.

Looks like a German number plate, wonder if he drove it across or flew with it as hand baggage

Post by: Wanderer on June 21, 2005, 18:29:05: Just read up and Twike were a Swiss company. They went bust and were taken over by a German company.

I reckon the inventor must have been British and had a lisp :) hence the Twike.

At first glances it looked like a Trabbant obviously the German influence.
