About Volttwist

Information for press offices and manufacturers. The website itself is published in German only.

What Volttwist is

Volttwist is a German-language website about electric two-wheelers with number plates: electric motorcycles, electric scooters and mopeds, and light electric enduros. It is written for readers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The website has four sections and a model database:

E-Motorräder: electric motorcycles from licence class A1 to A
E-Roller: electric scooters up to 45 km/h and in the 125 cc class (AM, A1, B196)
E-Enduro und Offroad: electric enduros with road approval and off-road models without road approval
Ratgeber: guides on driving licences, registration, insurance and charging
Datenbank: model database with specifications side by side

How we work

Every statement on regulations links to the law, the regulation or the authority.
Model data comes from the manufacturer or its press material, with the date we retrieved it. If a value is not published, we say so and do not estimate.
We compare models using the same specifications and keep manufacturer figures separate from standardised values such as the WMTC range.
We cover all brands on the same terms. We do not rewrite press releases, and every article ends with our own assessment.
We do not publish paid articles. Every article is reviewed and approved by a named editor before publication.

What we would like from manufacturers

Press releases, ideally with prices and availability for Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Press photos with their terms of use: whether editorial use is permitted, and the credit line you require
Spec sheets for each model and model year

Every photo on Volttwist carries a credit. If you send terms of use, we link them below the article.

Who we are

Volttwist is published by Lakeberg GmbH in Berlin. The editor responsible is Andreas Lakeberg. He founded E-SURFER, a specialist for electric surfboards, in 2017 and rides an electric motorcycle himself. Lakeberg GmbH does not sell motorcycles or scooters.
