We’re ready! just a few days ago, the indian organizers wanted an image with the team and vehicle. very difficult, if the vehicle in question is 800km away, tucked into a container! with the help of thomas möckli from elektrofahrzeuge möckli and an exceptionally beautiful friday afternoon, we were able to take some pictures and the image above is the one we chose for the international WAVE2011 site. jean claude’s avatar andrew’s avatar

the WAVE meeting yesterday was interesting, but left me with just 7 hours to empty my suitcase and get ready for yet another flight – this time to the middle east: tel aviv. after 4 hours flight i arrive in tel aviv early afternoon and am greeted with 30°C and sunshine – a very welcome change to the cool autumn weather we’ve been having lately. everytime i travel to a country far away, i very quickly miss the freedom (…and attention) the TWIKE offers. this time it is different, however. i’ll be without the TWIKE until end of november! on […]

Wave India 2011 for TWIKE; how it all began…
WAVE2011, a rally for electric cars from paris to prague, a much noticed event – won by none other than the TWIKE IV was the start of all of this. louis palmer, organizer, launched a CFV (call for vehicles) for WAVE2011 in india 3 weeks ag the stringent technical pre-requisites attached to this special WAVE stage are hard to comply with. since no roadside assistance is available, only the most robust ev’s are taken into closer consideration. furthermore, sub-stages up to 160kms will test the range of most participating ev’s to the limit. i spoke with my wife about this […]
