GRETCHEN REYNOLDS: E huhū paha nā e-uila?

He kaʻaahi e-uila maikaʻi paha? Kūpono anei ka holo ʻana o kahi keke uila?

Me ka hoihoi i loko a me nā kūʻai nui loa o pedal-

kōkua i nā paikikala uila e piʻi ana i ka papa o ka maʻi ahulau, pili kēia mau nīnau i ka piʻi nui o ka wikiwiki. ʻElua mau manawa hou a me ka ʻoluʻolu o ka noiʻi hou ʻana o ka hana a nā mea holo e-keke a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo pōpilikia e pane ʻia i kēlā me kēia nīnau he hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia ia, ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe e hoʻokele nei i kahi e-keke e makemake e noho makaʻala i ka mākaʻi maoli ʻana o ka mākaukau me kahi keʻehi. ia.

ʻOiai ʻike ka hapanui o mākou, ua lilo ka hoʻokele kaʻa uila i mea maʻamau a makemake nui ʻia i kēia mau mahina 12, no ka mea he nui ka poʻe i kekahi hihia home. E hoʻokele ka hoʻokele iā mākou i waho, ikaika a me ke poʻomanaʻo i kahi – ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe. Eia nō naʻe pili pū me ka mamao, nā puʻu, ka makani a me nā wāwae alakaʻi pinepine, a he mea weliweli kēia.

E komo i nā keke uila. ʻO ka wikiwiki no nā paikikala uila, ʻo kēia nā kaʻa uila a alanui paha me kahi kaʻa uila i hoʻohui ʻia e hoʻokele i kā mākou ikehu uila.

Hāʻule ka hapa nui o nā e-uila i hoʻokahi o nā ʻano ʻekolu:

• Kōkua aku nā keke uila e-1 i kou wā hehi wāwae, e like me ka wikiwiki o 20 mile i kēlā me kēia hola.

• ka ikehu ʻana o ka papa 2 ikaika i kou ʻike inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hehi wāwae, akā kaomi ia ma 20 mile i kēlā me kēia hola.

• Kōkua nā keke uila e-uila i ka heʻe wāwae ʻana e like me ka wikiwiki o 3 mile i kēlā me kēia hola. (Kūleʻa nā lula ʻōiwi e pili ana i nā kaʻa uila i ʻae ʻia ma nā ala paikikala, nā ala hele a me nā alanui. No nā kikoʻī e pili ana i nā alakaʻi uila e-bike i kou wahi, e ʻike i ka https://pe Peopleforbikes.org/our-work/e-bikes/.)

Hāʻawi ʻia i ko lākou mākaukau e kōkua iā mākou e hana i nā mile he nui me ke koina e pono ai i kahi kaʻa wali, ua piʻi nui nā kūʻai e-e i ka 70 pc a i ʻole keu i kēlā me kēia mahina no ka mea ua hoʻomaka ka maʻi ahulau, ma muli o nā helu helu kālepa.

Eia nō naʻe hiki i kēia kaulana ke hāpai i kahi waiwai. Ua koho ʻia ʻo Simon Cowell, ka acerbic ma ke ʻano ʻo “America's Acquired Expertise,” i ka hale maʻi i hala koke iho nei ma hope o ka haki hou ʻana iā ia i loko o kāna ʻike mua loa ma kahi keke uila hou.

Ua lohe ka poʻe he nui i nā moʻolelo ʻokoʻa (maʻamau apocryphal) e pili ana i nā ulia pōpilikia e-uila. A kahaha paha kekahi poʻe inā hoʻokele i kahi keke uila, me kāna kōkua hehi wāwae, a ʻo ia hoʻi kahi hana.

Ma kēlā hilinaʻi hope loa, ʻoiai, ʻo ka mea nui o ka noiʻi hou he mea ʻoluʻolu. Pai ʻia i Iulai i ka The Worldwide Journal of Environmental Analysis and Public Well being, pili ia 101 wahine a me nā kāne makua maikaʻi ma Hamburg, Kelemānia, i ʻae i ka hoʻokele kaʻa ʻelua a me kahi keke uila e ʻelua mau hebedoma ʻelua pule ka lōʻihi.

Ua koho kēlā me kēia mea manawaleʻa i kāna mannequin e-bike i makemake nui ʻia, me ke koho ʻana i nā keke kaʻa e like me nā wikiwiki i kōkua ʻia ma kahi o 20 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola. No ka uku ʻana i ka nūhou, ua hoʻohana nā mea hāʻawi i kekahi mau pule i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i kā lākou kaʻa uila e ma mua o ka wā noiʻi.

Hoʻolako pū nā mea noiʻi i kā lākou poʻe manawaleʻa me nā hōʻike hoʻoikaika kino, hōʻike hōʻike naʻau coronary a me kahi polokalamu kelepona kūikawā i kahi e hōʻike ai nā mea holo i kā lākou huakaʻi, ka mamao a me ke ʻano o ka ninini kino ʻana i kēlā me kēia ʻike.

ʻAʻole hoʻolako nā ʻepekema i kā lākou poʻe manawaleʻa i nā koho, eia nō naʻe, e pili ana i ka wahi, i ka manawa a pehea paha e ʻike ai, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Hedwig Stenner, kahi loiloi i pili ma ka Institute of Sports activities Drugs ma ke Kulanui Lapaʻau ʻo Hannover, nāna i alakaʻi i ka noiʻi hou. Makemake nā kānaka noiʻi e ʻike pehea e hoʻohana ai nā kānaka āpau i nā paikikala ʻokoʻa loa, a inā e loli paha kā lākou kalaiwa ʻana me nā keke uila.

Ua hoʻololi ke kōkua uila i kā lākou maʻamau, i ʻike ʻia e ka poʻe noiʻi. ʻO ka maʻamau, holo pinepine nā wahine a me nā kāne i ke kaʻina o nā hebedoma ʻelua me nā e-bikes, me ke kaulike ma kahi o 5 holo i kēlā me kēia pule, a ʻekolu mau pule i kēlā me kēia pule me nā pōʻaiapuni maʻamau.

ʻO ka pīhoihoi, ʻaʻole i neʻe ka mamao o ka hapa nui o nā holo o kēlā me kēia kanaka, ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻano motika a lākou e holo ai. ʻaʻole lōʻihi ko lākou holo ma nā kaʻa uila, akā ʻoi aku ka pinepine.

ʻOkoʻa kā lākou puʻuwai coronary. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻo nā koina o ka puʻuwai coronary o kēlā me kēia kanaka ma kahi o 8 pc e hoʻemi ana ma hope o ka hehi ʻana o nā keke uila, akā naʻe e hoʻomau mau ana

ma waena o nā kaʻa ʻokoʻa e noʻonoʻo ʻia ana.

A ʻo ka hopena, i loko o nā hebedoma ʻelua i ka wā i holo ai nā mea manawaleʻa i nā keke uila, ua hōʻiliʻili lākou i mau minuke kūpono o ka hoʻoikaika kino kino e hoʻokō i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a ke kaʻaahi maʻamau o 150 mau minuke o ka hoʻoikaika kino maʻamau. Ma hope o ko lākou holo maʻa mau

paikikala, ʻaʻole lākou i hana.

ʻO ka hapa nui o ka hōʻike ʻana e makemake ana i ke kōkua pedal, i ʻōlelo ʻo Stenner. ʻOi aku ka nui o ka hapakolu o nā mea hāʻawi i nā mea noiʻi ua aloha lākou i nā keke uila e a e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana iā lākou “no kekahi mau makahiki,” e pili ana i ka nīnau nīnau noiʻi pani.

Eia nō naʻe inā paha ʻaʻole paha he e-keke e hoʻoweliweli i nā ulia pōpilikia ma mua o ka waiho ʻana o nā paikikala maʻamau i kahi nīnau ākea. "ʻAʻole i hōʻike ʻia nā pōpilikia koʻikoʻi iā mākou" i ke kaʻina o ke kālailai ʻana, ʻōlelo ʻo Stenner.

ʻO ka noiʻi hou ʻē aʻe o nā keke uila, i paʻi ʻia i Kēkēmapa ma Harm Prevent, he akahele nui. No ia mea, ua ʻimi nā kānaka noiʻi ma ke Kulanui o Drugs College o Drugs i kahi waihona ʻāina holoʻokoʻa no ke kipa ʻana no nā keʻena pōpilikia no nā kikoʻī e pili ana i nā ulia pōpilikia e pili ana i ka hoʻokele kaʻa paikikala maʻamau, kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa, a i ʻole keke uila e 2000 a 2017.

Ua ʻike lākou i nā haʻawina he nui. Ma mua o 9 miliona mau kāne, kaikamahine a me nā ʻōpio i hōʻoia i loko o kahi lumi pilikia ma hope o ka hōʻino ʻia akā ʻo ka hoʻokele kaʻa kaʻa maʻamau i loko o kēia mau makahiki he 17. ʻO kekahi 140,000 ʻē aʻe i hōʻeha iā lākou iho ma nā scooter, a ma kahi o 3,000 ma nā kaʻa uila (kahi mea hou ʻole i loko o nā makahiki mua o ka noiʻi).

ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻo nā ulia pōpilikia e-uila paha ka mea ʻoi loa a kokoke e koi i ka haukapila.

No ke aha i mālama ai nā e-bikers i mea e hōʻeha ai iā lākou iho ma mua o ka holo ʻana o nā mea holo ʻokoʻa e maopopo ʻole mai ka ʻike hōʻino, wahi a Charles DiMaggio, kahi epidemiologist hōʻino ma NYU Langone Well being, nāna i alakaʻi i ka noiʻi hou. Eia nō naʻe ua hana kānalua ka wikiwiki.

"Ua ʻike mākou āpau i hiki i nā keke uila uila ke hele wikiwiki aʻe ma mua o nā holo hehi wāwae maʻamau," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, koe wale nō ʻoe he heihei paikikala nāna e hoʻopahu i nā puʻu ma mua o 20 a 30 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola. "A maopopo iā mākou āpau ke piʻi ka wikiwiki i nā ulia pōpilikia loa."

Eia nō naʻe aia paha he ʻikepili e hoʻouluulu ʻia i loko o nā helu helu ʻino, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. I loko o nā makahiki mua i uhi ʻia e ka noiʻi, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā pōpilikia e-uila e pili ana i nā keiki ma lalo o 18 mau makahiki, ka mea i ʻike ʻo ia ka mea lawe mua o kēia ʻike paikikala hou. ʻO ka hanana i waena o kēia hui i emi iki i loko o nā makahiki hope o ka noiʻi, ʻoiai, no ka mea ua ala aʻe i waena o nā kānaka 45 a 65 mau makahiki.

Kuhi paha kēia hoʻololi i ka ulu ʻana o ka poʻe holoholo ʻōpio i lilo i "kamaʻāina" hou me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e pili ana pehea e ʻike ai i nā kaʻa uila me ka palekana, wahi a DiMaggio, kahi ulu e, me ka manawa a me ka mākaukau, pono e hōʻemi i nā ulia pōpilikia i waena o nā poʻe holo ʻelemakule ʻokoʻa.

A i ʻole helu paha ka poʻe helu i ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe ʻōpio e hoʻohana nei i nā keke uila, e waiho ana i ko lākou makuahine a me ko lākou makuakāne a i ʻole nā ​​kūpuna i kēlā manawa e nānā i nā keke uila, a hāʻule iā lākou.

I nā kūlana ʻelua, akā naʻe, maopopo leʻa ka lawe ʻana o ka noiʻi, wahi a DiMaggio. Ma mua o ka huakaʻi ʻana i nā alanui a i ʻole nā ​​ala ma kahi keke uila, "e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ʻoe iho me ka paikikala," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. “E komo i ka mahiole. E nānā i nā kulekele kipa. Mai inu a ʻike. "

ʻO nā keke uila, ma ka puʻuwai coronary, he paikikala, no laila inā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi motika, ʻike paha ʻoe i kahi keke uila. "Manaʻo maoli ʻoe e like me ka hihia inā he wāwae wīwī kāu" ma nā loli uila i hoʻonui ʻia, wahi a Ian Kenny, ka luna hoʻohālikelike e-bike no Specialised, he hale kaʻa mokokaikala e hana ana i nā alanui uila a me nā paikikala mauna.

Hoʻonui ka paikikala uila i nā wikiwiki o ka paikikala, ʻoiai, no ka mea ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea holo hou e loaʻa pono i kekahi mau milo i kahi wahi i pale ʻia me nā malihini kipa ma mua o ka huakaʻi ʻana ma nā alanui a me nā ala, wahi a Kenny. E ʻimi no kahi wahi kaʻa kaʻa hakahaka nui a i ʻole ke alanui i pani ʻia i nā malihini kipa i ke kaʻina o ka maʻi ahulau ma kāu holo mua.

Ma loko o kēia mau wā hoʻoluliluli, e hoʻohana i ka hoʻonohonoho kōkua haʻahaʻa o kāu paikikala. (Hāʻawi piha nā e-uila ʻokoʻa i nā laulā ʻokoʻa o ke kōkua hehi wāwae.) ʻOi aku ka wikiwiki o nā kaʻa uila ma mua o nā paikikala maʻamau, Kenny nā mea i waho, a hiki i ka manawa hikiwawe ke hōʻoki a hoʻokahakaha i nā poʻe holo mākaukau ʻole.

E hāhai i ka lohi a me ka paleki hoʻi. "Ma muli o ka hopena o nā e-bikes ʻoi aku ke kaumaha a me ka wikiwiki o ka huakaʻi, koi paha lākou i ka manawa keu a me ka mamao e hoʻopau ai" ma mua o kahi keke kaʻa maʻamau, e ʻōlelo ana ʻo Kenny.

ʻOiai ʻoe e hele ana i nā ala ākea a i ʻole nā ​​ala, e hoʻomanaʻo e nānā i kou ola o ka pila. Hiki i nā mile ke heʻe ma ke kōkua ʻana i kāu hehi wāwae, akā lōʻihi a huʻihuʻi paha ka huakaʻi hoʻi inā ʻoe i hoʻokahe i kāu pila, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui o nā e-bikes ma mua o nā paikikala maʻamau.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, e hoʻokomo i nā pale maka inā ʻoe a puni nā mea holo a me ka poʻe hele wāwae, a malia paha e hoʻohui i kahi bele ʻeleu i kāu kaʻa, inā ʻaʻole ia he ʻano maʻamau. Kani ma mua o ka hala ʻana i kekahi.

"Hana me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e like me kou makemake e lawelawe ʻia," wahi a Kenny. "ʻAʻole ia he mea leʻaleʻa ke hoʻopūʻiwa ʻia e ka mea nona ka paikikala zooming."
