Micromobility tech shifts focus to compliance and safety
New-generation micromobility prioritises regulation, safety, and integration over rapid growth.
Hase Bikes launches the Kettwiesel TWO, a full-suspension electric parallel tandem for riders with differing abilities.
Hase Bikes has introduced the Kettwiesel TWO, a new full-suspension electric parallel tandem. The design places two riders side by side, allowing them to travel together even when their physical capabilities differ. The model is aimed at couples, families and carers, as well as organisations focused on keeping people active.
The parallel seating arrangement distinguishes the TWO from conventional inline tandems, offering a shared riding experience without requiring equal output from both riders. Full suspension is included as standard, which may broaden its appeal for longer rides or varied terrain. The electric assist is integrated into the platform, though specific motor and battery specifications were not disclosed in the announcement.
The target market spans private buyers and institutional users, such as care facilities or mobility programmes. For dealers, this positions the TWO as a niche product within the e-tandem segment, potentially attracting customers who cannot use standard two-wheelers or who seek a social riding option with electric support.
No pricing, availability dates, or European distribution details were provided in the initial launch information. Dealers will need to contact Hase Bikes directly for commercial terms, lead times and homologation specifics for their local market.
For European dealers, the Kettwiesel TWO opens a specialised e-tandem niche with likely higher margins but uncertain demand. Confirm landed cost, delivery lead time and EU type-approval status before stocking, as no commercial details were released.
