As president of the TWIKE Klub, one of my favorite responsibilities is organizing our annual general assembly. Finding the right location is always a bit of an adventure — it needs to comfortably fit up to 50 people, have some connection to sustainability, renewable energy, or ideally one of our own TWIKE pilots. Furthermore, it has to offer enough electricity to get all our TWIKEs fully charged and ready for the trip back home afterward. Our general assembly day usually kicks off with some relaxed catching up over coffee, then we spend a couple of hours exploring the venue. After […]
Post-Winter Plexi TLC
The plexiglass windshield typically is very scratched after a winter’s use with salt and grime being wiped away constantly. As I’ve done many times before, I wanted to start the warm weather season with a clear windscreen – If you want to know more about how to restore the plexiglass, please go to the in-depth entry I posted 7 years ago. The magic happens with around one hour of work and really brings the plexi back to its old, original glory and clarity. …and then, your TWIKE will be looking like new!
Early 2025 Black Forest ODT
One of my first little EV adventures of 2025 with the TW560 was a quick day trip to the Black Forest. If you’ve ever spent winter (October to March) in the lower parts of Switzerland, you know the struggle—weeks of thick, soupy fog that just doesn’t go away. After five sunless weeks, your brain starts to feel like it’s running in low-power mode. Luckily, the Black Forest is just around the corner from me—well, 40 minutes away—and since it climbs up to 1600 meters, it guarantees me seeing some sun! Climbing out of the grey and into a clear, sunny […]
Presentation Press coverage
As mentioned in this post, I was invited to speak about electric mobility before it went mainstream at an event. My presentation showed how we navigated public charging, upgrading our vehicles, traveling and how battery technology evolved during the past few years. Since there were some members of the press present, I’m happy to publish one of the accounts here.
Hello 2025
Besides building my new Type2 charging solution in December, my last few months were slow, filled with travel and, ultimately, with many discussions and meetings. I was offered a leadership role at a very large company in my previous industry, cyber security solutions and services. To make sure everyone involved – me, my peers and n-1’s – would be happy, I traveled extensively to meet them all and have frank conversations about goals and strategies. Happy to report that I will be starting February 3 – my wife and I will take most of January off and enjoy some time […]
