Ukuthutha kwakamuva okuya e-Auckland, eNew Zealand-idolobha kanye nendawo enamagquma enezokuthutha zomphakathi ezingathuthukisiwe ezingashintsha ukugibela ibhayisikili elisheshayo ukuya esitolo kube ukujima okujulukayo-kubangele isithakazelo sami emabhayisikili kagesi.
Nokho, isidingo esinamandla namanani akhuphukayo enza kube nzima ukuthenga la mabhayisikili kagesi afiselekayo e-Aotearoa, izwe elinamafu amade amhlophe.Ngemva kokufunda ngo-Ubco, izinto zashintsha.Ukuqaliswa kwebhayisikili kagesi ezinze eNew Zealand muva nje kunyuse amaRandi ayizigidi eziyishumi kubatshalizimali.
Inkampani yanginika i-Ubco 2X2 Adventure Bike cishe inyanga, eyanginika isikhathi esiningi sokuhlola.
Ngingase ngingabi izethameli eziqondiswe ku-Ubco, nakuba ngizama ngakho konke okusemandleni ami ukusebenzisa leli bhayisikili njengoba lituswe umklamo walo futhi ngiligcwalise ngezikhwama zesikole nezinye izinto ezisindayo ezingase zilingise ukulethwa kwesinkwa sikagalikhi, i-mail, nezinye Isisindo sephakheji .I-Ubco 2X2 Adventure Bike yakhelwe ngokukhethekile ukugibela okungokoqobo edolobheni.Ungakhetha ngaphandle komgwaqo.Ngizozama ngomdlandla ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Umkhiqizo ohamba phambili wale nkampani ibhayisikili lomsebenzi i-Ubco 2X2, imoto kagesi engekho emgwaqeni eyaklanyelwe ukusiza abalimi ekuqaleni.Izimali ezintsha eziqoqwe yile nkampani ngoJuni zizosetshenziselwa ukunwebeka zibe mpo ezikhona ezifana nokulethwa kokudla, izinsizakalo zeposi kanye nokuhlelwa kwemayela lokugcina, ukwandisa ibhizinisi lokubhalisela ukuhweba, nokufeza imigomo yokukhula kokuthengisa e-United States.
Ungabona abashayeli be-Domino e-Auckland (ngizwe e-UK) besebenzisa amabhayisikili e-Ubco ukuletha ama-pizza ashisayo.Le nkampani futhi inochungechunge lwamakhasimende kwamanye amazwe, njenge-New Zealand Post, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Pāmu noma i-Landcorp Farming Limited, phakathi kwezinye izindawo zokudlela nezitolo zasendaweni.
Isikhulu esiphezulu kanye nomsunguli uTimothy Allan ushayele esuka ekomkhulu lenkampani eTauranga eyonikela ngebhayisikili mathupha.Kwakuwusuku libalele eduze kwami, futhi ngamlalela ngokuphelelwa yisineke echaza zonke izinhlobo zezingqinamba neziphetho, ukuthi umshini usebenza kanjani nokuthi uwushaja kanjani.
U-Allan wangisiza ukulanda uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Ubco ukuze ngibhanqe ifoni yami nebhayisikili.Phakathi kwezinye izici, kuphinde kwangivumela ukuba ngikhethe imodi yabaqalayo futhi ngikhawule isivinini sibe ngamamayela angu-20 ngehora.Ngenza inothi engqondweni ukuze ngikwazi ukuyibhala lapha, kodwa nganquma ukufinyelela ngokushesha isivinini esingamakhilomitha angu-30 ngehora.
Ngikwenzile, futhi…ngigula kakhulu.Akufanele ngabe ngiyagobhoza, kodwa mngani!Uhambo olumnandi lolu.Izizathu zimi kanje:
Ibhayisikili Le-Adventure lifika lisezingeni elimhlophe, elinamathayi emisebenzi eminingi angu-17 x 2.75-inch namarimu e-aluminium, womabili ahlangabezana nezindinganiso ze-DOT.Inguqulo yami futhi inamadecal e-Maori ohlakeni ukuze ngihloniphe abantu bomdabu baseNew Zealand.
Ukuphakama kwebhayisikili cishe kungama-intshi angu-41 futhi isihlalo singama-intshi angu-32.Ukusuka esondweni kuye esondweni, cishe kungama-intshi angu-72.Umthwalo okhokhelwayo ohlanganisa nomgibeli ungamakhilogremu angu-330, ngakho uzakwethu (owesilisa ongu-6'2”) kanye nami (owesifazane ongu-5'7”) singagibela kalula leli bhayisikili, sidinga kuphela ukulungisa inqwaba yebhayisikili yesibuko esibukwa ngemuva enwetshiwe.Cha, asizange sigibele ndawonye.Leli bhayisikili lakhelwe njengesihlalo esisodwa.
Ngamanye amazwi, kuneshalofu elincane ngaphezu kwamasondo angemuva okubeka amapuleti elayisensi (ngokusobala lawa ahlukaniswa njengama-mopeds futhi adinga ukubhaliswa ezindaweni eziningi) kanye nanoma yiziphi ezinye izimpahla ezingase zithwalwe.Angikayizami, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ingabamba okungenani amabhokisi e-pizza amahlanu aboshwe ngezintambo ze-bungee.Indawo yokubeka ibhayisikili iphinde ivumele izikhwama zesihlalo sehhashi ukuthi zinamathiselwe.I-Ubco ithengisa lokho okubizwa ngePannier Back Pack ngo-$189.Lesi isikhwama se-roll-top esingamelani nesimo sezulu esilingana kahle, futhi empeleni siyisikhwama se-premium esinomthamo wamalitha angu-5.28.
Ngaphandle kwezesekeli, uhlaka lwe-alloy alusindi futhi luyahamba.Yilapho ngithanda khona ukugibela ibhayisikili-kungivumela ukuthi ngiqale ukushintsha amagiya ngaphambi kokuthi ngime ngokuphelele, ngizizwa ngishesha kakhulu futhi ngishesha.Uma kuziwa endabeni yokupaka, ngicabanga ukuthi imithetho iyahlukahluka kuye ngezindawo, kodwa lapha, uyipaka emgwaqeni noma endaweni yokupaka, hhayi eceleni komgwaqo.Inobakaki wokuyilungisa, futhi uyakwazi ukukhiya isondo langaphambili ukuze kungabikho muntu ongaliphusha.Nokho, uma befuna, bangase bayiphonse ngemuva evenini ngoba inesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-145 kuphela.
Ukubukeka kwebhayisikili kuvelele, hhayi kimi kuphela.Ngesikhathi sokuhlola kwami ​​amasonto ambalwa, osomabhizinisi abaningi nabathandi bamabhayisikili benza konke okusemandleni ukuze bancome idizayini yalo, okuyisibalo sabantu abahlosiwe ngu-Ubco.
Ukukhanya kwebhayisikili kusho ukuthi kulula ukusuka futhi uthole ibhalansi.Ibhethri liphinde libe maphakathi nefreyimu, eduze nalapho kukhona izinyawo zakho.Ingakwazi ukubamba ibhayisikili futhi ikunikeze isikhungo esizinzile samandla adonsela phansi.
Izici ezingasindi zamabhayisikili ziyisibusiso nesiqalekiso.Ukuphenduka kulula, kodwa ngezinsuku ezinomoya nasemigwaqweni evulekile, ngezinye izikhathi ngikhathazeka ngokuwiswa-kodwa lokhu kungase kuhlobane nokugibela amasondo angu-10 emgwaqeni.Ngenxa yokuthi ilula kakhulu, kuzwakala kuxakile kimina ukuba semgwaqeni nezinye izimoto ezinkulu neziwugqinsi esikhundleni sokuba semzileni wamabhayisikili.
Ngenxa yesistimu yokudlulisa igiya le-torque ephezulu, ngisho nasemagqumeni aphakeme, ibhayisikili lingasheshiswa ngokushesha ngokulawula okugcwele kwe-electronic throttle.I-drivetrain inamamotho amabili e-1 kW Flux2 anama-bearings avaliwe, ukulawula okushisayo okusebenzayo kanye nokukhipha umoya okusebenzayo ukuze kususwe umswakama osalayo-isidingo kuleli dolobha elimanzi kakhulu.
Umsindo wokusheshisa ulingisa umsindo wemoto engekho emgwaqeni enamandla kaphethiloli, kodwa inethoni ye-elekthronikhi ethambile, okuyinto emangalisayo.Ngaze ngagibela Ubco lapho ngabona khona ukuthi ngithembele kangakanani ezwini lami ukwahlulela ijubane lami.
Isistimu yokubhuleka ithe ukuzwela.Kuzwakala kuzwela kakhulu kimi, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi amabhuleki asebenzisa amanzi kanye namabhuleki asebenza kabusha agijima emotweni ngesikhathi esisodwa.Kukhona ne-passive regenerative braking system, engicabanga ukuthi izongibhuleka uma ngizama ukushibilika ngehle kulawo magquma amakhulu.
I-suspension yangaphambili engu-130 mm kanye ne-suspension yangemuva engu-120 mm ifakwe ama-coil springs anama-hydraulic dampers, futhi inomsebenzi wokulungisa ukulayisha kuqala nokuphinde kuboshwe.Ngamanye amazwi, ukudlidliza kuhle.Ngisho noma ngithatha isinyathelo sokuhamba ngemoto eceleni komgwaqo kanye nezihibe zejubane, angizwa lutho.
Ukuze ngihlole ukuthi lingakwazi yini ukuhamba emgwaqweni, ngathatha ibhayisikili lami ngaya eCornwall Park, lapho ngagijima khona ngesivinini otshanini, ngajika phakathi kwezihlahla, ngandiza phezu kwezimpande zezihlahla namadwala, ngenza namadonadi emasimini.Lokhu kuyathakazelisa kakhulu, nginomuzwa wokuthi ngingakwazi ukulawula imoto ngokuphelele.Ngiyakwazi ukucabanga ukuthi kungani abalimi bephendukela emabhayisikili okusebenza.
Lapho ngidinga ukuhlola ukusetshenziswa kwalo njengebhayisikili lokudiliva, ngagcwalisa izikhwama zesikole ezimbili negilosa ngesikhwama sesikole, ngabe sengihamba naso.Kwakuseyindlela enhle yokugibela, nakuba nganginyakazekile ngaphambi kokuba ngijike ngaze ngazi kahle.
Njengoba i-Ubco Adventure Bike ingafaneleki ngokuphelele esigabeni esithile samabhayisikili, lokhu akusona isiqhathaniso samanani esilula.I-moped kagesi, efana ne-Lexmoto Yadea noma i-Vespa Elettrica, ingabiza u-US$2,400 noma u-US$7,000 ngokulandelana.Ezintweni ezifana ne-KTM noma i-Alta Motors, intengo yemoto esebenza ngogesi engekho emgwaqweni isuka ku-$6,000 iye ku-$11,000.Ngamanye amazwi, Ikhekhe lokuqala lesithuthuthu sikagesi lase-Swedish lisanda kwethula iMakka yakamuva eyenzelwe ukuhamba ngebhayisikili emadolobheni, enenani elingu-$3,500.Ibukeka ifana kakhulu no-Ubco, kodwa incane.
Unalokhu emqondweni, i-Ubco Adventure Bike enamandla angu-2.1 kW inenani elingu-US$6,999 kanti amandla kagesi angu-3.1 kW abiza u-US$7,499.Ngokwezidingo zakho, ngingasho ukuthi ibhayisikili elinjalo, liseduze nobubanzi obuphakathi.Njengoba ungayisebenzisela imisebenzi ehlobene nomsebenzi, ingase idonswe intela.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ufuna ikhwalithi yebhayisikili imelane nomsebenzi othile onzima, futhi i-Ubco inokuningi.Akuyona nje ibhayisikili elisebenzayo elisebenzayo, kodwa futhi linobuchwepheshe obuhle kakhulu ngaphansi kwe-hood eyaziwayo, esizoyethula kamuva.
I-Ubco ilinganisela ubude beminyaka eyi-10 kuya kweyi-15, kuye ngokusetshenziswa.Izibuyekezo zesofthiwe esemoyeni, izingxenye ezishintshayo, nokulungiswa kabusha okuphelele kungasiza ukunweba impilo yebhayisikili.Inkampani ikhuthaza abagibeli ukuthi babuyisele amabhayisikili alahliwe ngenxa yokuzibophezela ekuphathweni okuphelele kwemikhiqizo.
Ngamanye amazwi, uma ufuna ukuthenga ibhayisikili manje, liyi-oda langaphambilini (ngaphandle uma umthengisi wangakini we-Ubco enalo esitokweni).Uma uhlala e-US, uku-oda manje kungakunikeza i-Ubco ngaphambi kukaSepthemba.Le nkampani ithe isawuzwa umthelela we-COVID, ngesidingo esikhulu namaketanga okuhlinzeka aqinile abangela ukubambezeleka.I-oda langaphambilini lidinga idiphozithi engu-$1,000.
I-Ubco iphinde ibe nemodeli yokubhalisa, okwamanje eqondiswe kakhulu kumakhasimende ezinkampani futhi inenani ngokwemibandela ethile.Kodwa-ke, ihlola ukubhaliswa kwabantu abase-Auckland naseTauranga ngaphambi kokuphromotha uhlelo emhlabeni jikelele.Imali yokubhalisa icishe ibe ngamadola angama-300 aseNew Zealand ngenyanga izinyanga ezingama-36.
I-Adventure Bike ifakwe iphakethe lebhethri elingu-2.1 kWh nobubanzi obungamakhilomitha angu-40 kuya kwangu-54, noma ifakwe iphakethe lebhethri elingu-3.1 kWh elinebanga lamamayela angu-60 kuya kwangu-80.
Ibhethri isetshenziswa isistimu yokuphatha ebizwa ngokuthi “Scotty” ukuze kuqashwe ukusebenza nokuphepha kwesikhathi sangempela.Ibhethri ivalwa nge-alloy futhi ishaywa umoya ngesikhathi isetshenziswa.Yenziwe ngebhethri ye-lithium-ion engu-18650, okusho ukuthi ibhethri elinamandla elikwazi ukuphatha imijikelezo yokushaja efika ku-500.U-Ubco uthe ibhethri layo lenzelwe ukuthi likhishwe ekupheleni kwempilo yayo.
Ishaja esheshayo ye-alloy engu-10 amp ingashaja ibhethri ngokugcwele emahoreni amane kuya kwayisithupha.Ungakwazi ukumane uyixhume esitokisini samandla ukuze uyishaje isesemotweni, noma ungavula ibhethri ulikhiphe (lisinda kancane) bese ulishaja ngaphakathi.Qaphela: Umsindo wokushaja uphezulu.Angiqiniseki ukuthi lokhu kujwayelekile, kodwa kungenzeka.
Ngiyikhokhisa njalo ezinsukwini ezimbili kuya kwezintathu, kodwa kuya ngokusetshenziswa nendawo okuyo.Kusebusika e-Auckland, ngakho-ke kubanda kancane, okuthinta ukuphila kwebhethri, futhi imigwaqo yasezintabeni iyingozi kakhulu futhi idla ukuphila kwebhethri okuningi.
Ngigibela ibhayisikili lami ngingena futhi ngizungeza enkabeni yedolobha nsuku zonke, kodwa ngibheja ukuthi umshayeli wokulethwa udinga ukushaja njalo ebusuku.Njengoba ngike ngasho ngaphambili, ibhethri lingakhishwa futhi lishajwe, ngakho uma uliyisa emsebenzini, ungaliyisa ehhovisi noma kuphi ukuze ulishaje ngenkathi wenza ezinye izinto.
Imoto isebenzisa i-Ubco ebizwa ngokuthi i-Cerebro car management system, ehlanganisa yonke imisebenzi ye-electronic kanye nekagesi yemoto, futhi inikeza ukulawula kanye nezibuyekezo nge-Bluetooth.I-Ubco icabangela ukuphela komjikelezo wempilo lapho yakha, ukuze ibhasi le-CAN lihlukaniswe, ukuze amadivayisi e-CAN esikhathi esizayo akwazi ukuhlanganiswa kalula.
Manje, omunye wemibuzo yami yokuqala, uma ngicabangela isisindo laleli bhayisikili kanye nokwenzeka kwabasebenzi bezomnotho be-gig abaligibela ukuya emsebenzini endlini yedolobha, yilo: Ngiqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi akekho umuntu uma lisemgwaqweni Uzolintshontsha ngoba angikwazi ukukuhudulela ephasishi lami esitezi sesihlanu?
Njengoba ngishilo, ungakwazi ukuvala isondo endaweni, okuzokwenza kube nzima kwabanye ukulidudula phansi.Uma othile enquma ukuthwebula yonke imoto esindayo, u-Ubco uzokwazi ukukulandelela yona.Ibhayisikili le-Ubco ngalinye linomsebenzi we-telemetry, okungukuthi, i-SIM khadi, enezintambo eziqinile ngaphakathi ukuze isize ekunikezeni idatha engase isetshenziselwe ukubeka, ukulungisa, ukweba, ukuvikeleka, ukuhlela umzila, njll.
Lesi sakhiwo se-VMS siklanyelwe ukubhalisela imikhumbi ephatha izimoto ngebhizinisi le-Ubco, kodwa kusobala ukuthi sinokunye ukusetshenziswa, njengokuhlinzeka ngokuthula kwengqondo (ngokwami, ngisasebenzisa iketanga ukuyikhiya, kodwa ngingumuntu waseNew York futhi angikwenzi. 'kholwa.noma ubani).Ngokusobala, uma ucabanga ukuthi lolu hlobo lwe-telemetry luyathusa, ungahoxa, kodwa luwukulungiselelwa okujwayelekile kokubhaliselwe, okuvumela ababhalisile ukuthi balandelele indawo yebhayisikili kuhlelo lokusebenza.
Okukhwezwe kusibambo isibonisi se-LCD esingabonisa isivinini, ileveli yamandla, njll. Izibambo nazo zine-beam ephezulu noma isilawuli sokushintshwa kwe-beam ephansi, izibani zenkomba nezimpondo.Ngathola ukuthi inkomba yayinamathele kancane, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngangishelela ngiwe ngishaye uphondo.Ngethemba ukuthi isibambo sinayo nesibambi socingo ukuze ukwazi ukulandela imiyalelo.Bengigqoke ama-headphones futhi ngilalele i-Google Maps ingitshela ukuthi ngihamba kanjani, kodwa ibingazizwa iphephile futhi isebenza kahle.
Ungavula amandla ngokhiye wesilawuli kude ongenakhiye ngokuchofoza inkinobho kukhiye wesilawuli kude noma inkinobho ekubha yesibambo.Ngizoqaphela ukuthi inkinobho engenakhiye ibucayi kakhulu.Ezimweni eziningi, ngiyifaka ephaketheni lami nomakhalekhukhwini wami noma ezinye izakhamuzi ephaketheni lami.Kumelwe ukuba ishaye inkinobho yacisha imoto ngesikhathi ngigibele.Ngenhlanhla, lokhu akukaze kwenzeke endaweni ematasa, kodwa kudinga ukuqapha.
Njengoba ngishilo ngaphambili, ungasebenzisa lolu hlelo lokusebenza ukubhanqa ifoni yakho kanye namafoni wabanye abasebenzisi nebhayisikili.Uhlelo lokusebenza likuvumela ukuthi ukhethe imodi yomfundi noma imodi ekhawulelwe ukuze ulawule izilungiselelo zokugibela;vula futhi uvale ibhayisikili;shintsha izinkomba;futhi uhlole isimo sempilo yebhethri, isivinini, nezinga lokushisa lemoto.Empeleni lonke ulwazi olukudeshibhodi, kodwa kuhlelo lokusebenza.Angisiboni ngempela isidingo sokuyisebenzisa.
Amalambu e-LED ahlala ekhanya uma imoto iqalwa, kodwa kukhona namalambu aphezulu namalambu aphansi, kanye namalambu okupaka aseduze, wonke aklanyelwe ukuhlakazwa ekupheleni kwempilo.Kukhona namalambu eLED ngemuva, amabhuleki namalambu epuleti, kanjalo namalambu agunyazwe iDOT.
Phakathi kwemisebenzi engahambelani ngokugcwele nezinye izigaba, kukhona ikhithi yasensimini, egxilile esihlalweni sokuphakamisa, iqukethe imanuwali yomsebenzisi namathuluzi okusetha nokugcina i-2X2, elula kakhulu.Ngokuvamile, lapho abantu bethenga ibhayisikili le-Ubco, lipakishwa ebhokisini futhi “kudingeka izinyathelo ezimbalwa ezilula ukuze ulungele ukuligibela.”Kukhona nesifundo sasenyuvesi i-UBCO esibonisa ukuthi singasethwa kanjani.Uma uthenga komunye wabasabalalisi be-Ubco, bazoyiqaqa futhi bayifake lapho uzolanda izimpahla.
Ukunakekela kuza nemali yokubhaliselwe yanyanga zonke.I-Ubco inoxhaxha lochwepheshe abangatshalwa noma kuphi lapho inkampani idayisa khona amabhayisikili inqobo nje uma bedinga ukulungiswa.Uma bengekho omakhenikha abagunyaziwe eduze, indlunkulu yakwa-Ubco izosebenzisana namakhasimende ukuwasiza ukulungisa amabhayisikili.I-Ubco ayizange iphendule olwazini mayelana nokuthi bangaki oomakhenikha abagunyaziwe kunethiwekhi yayo.
Nakulokhu futhi, ngivela eNew York futhi ngibone izinkulungwane zamadoda adilivayo agibela amabhayisikili nama-mopeds.Bagoqa amagilavu ​​kahhavini ngezikhwama zepulasitiki bese bewanamathisela ezibambo ukuze abashayeli bahlale emakhazeni.Gcina izandla zakho zifudumele phakathi nezinyanga zonyaka.Leli bhayisikili lingakwazi ukumelana nomthwalo osindayo wokuthutha izimpahla, liyashesha futhi liyavumelana nezimo lapho liphuma nangaphandle kwethrafikhi, futhi kulula ukuligibela nokulisebenzisa.
Izinsizakalo zokubhalisela, ikakhulukazi lezo zamabhizinisi, zilenza ibhayisikili ledolobha elihle kakhulu elikwazi ukubhekana nezimo zezulu ezahlukahlukene.Sengiyazi kakade ukuthi iyakwazi ukubhekana nemvula nodaka, ngakho zonke izimpawu zikhomba impumelelo esihogweni esimanzi sasebusika sedolobha elisenyakatho.Futhi kubantu abangabahambi-abantu abafuna nje ukugibela emgwaqeni nangaphandle komgwaqo, ngaphandle kwedolobha nasehlane-lokhu futhi uhambo oluhle lwabathengi olungahlala isikhathi eside.
