While e-Mobile Motors GmbH is still looking for a new name for the next version of the Twike, it has revealed a picture of the tail of the prototype.

It seems that the basic shape follows the design of the Twike III. To me a promising start. What I do not quite understand is why it is not called Twike 'XXX'. Why would you decide against the name 'Twike'?

Because it's built by a company other than Fine Mobile GmbH?
Because investors have a say?
Because its technically too different?
