njinga yamoto
Pambuyo pazaka zambiri pakukula, Harley-Davidson pomaliza pake adachotsa nsalu yotchinga njinga zamagetsi zatsopano.
Kutsitsimutsa mwachangu kwa iwo omwe anaphonya kulengeza koyambirira: Serial 1 ndi kampani yoyima njinga yamagetsi yomwe idatuluka kuchokera ku Harley-Davidson Okutobala watha. Poyamba, Serial 1 idzagulitsa njinga zinayi, pamtengo kuchokera $ 3,399 mpaka $ 4,999. Mayina ake ndi Mosh / Cty, njinga yamzinda, ndi commuter Rush / Cty, yomwe imabwera m'mitundu itatu (pafupipafupi, Step-Thru, ndi Speed). Iliyonse imabwera ndi mota wapakatikati wokhoza kupanga 250W yamphamvu mosalekeza ndikumenya kuthamanga kwapamwamba kwa 20mph - kupatula Rush / Cty Speed, yomwe imatha kuyenda mwachangu.
Ndikuvomereza, ndinali wokayikira pang'ono kuti Harley-Davidson atha kuchotsa izi. Mukamva zamakampani omwe amagwiritsa ntchito magalimoto oyaka moto omwe amatulutsa njinga zawo zamagetsi, nthawi zambiri, amangokhala chilolezo chotsatsira. (Ganizirani za e-bicycle ya Jeep kapena njinga za Hummer zaka khumi zapitazi.) Nthawi zina, ndi projekiti yotsogola kwambiri yomwe imatha kugwera m'makampani akuluakulu, monga ma bicycle a General Motors 'Ariv.
Koma izi siziri choncho. Awa ndi ma e-njinga omwe amapangidwa ndikupangidwa ndi gulu lodzipereka la okonda njinga mkati mwa zopanga skunkworks za Harley-Davidson. Ndipo kudzipereka kumeneku ndi ukadaulo zimawonekera bwino pazomaliza.
Mwachidule, awa ndi njinga zokongola, zokhala ndi mawonekedwe oyera omwe amalumikiza zingwe zonse mkati mwa chimango. Galimoto yapakatikati ya Brose Mag S yopanda mabulashi mkati inali yamphamvu komanso chete. Magalimoto onse ndi batire zili pansi kwambiri panjinga, yotsika kwambiri kuposa yachibadwa. Malinga ndi wamkulu wazogulitsa wa Serial 1 a Aaron Frank, izi zimapanga mphamvu yokoka pang'ono, yomwe imathandizira magwiridwe antchito ndi chimango.
"Harley-Davidson amadziwa zambiri kapena zambiri kuposa wina aliyense za kapangidwe ndi ukadaulo wamagalimoto awiri oyenda bwino, omvera mwachilengedwe," adandiuza Frank. "Ndipo maphunziro onsewa - kuyambira pakupanga njinga zamoto zokhudzana ndi kukula kwa magetsi, zamagetsi osasinthasintha, za kayendedwe kaulendo - [zidagwiritsidwa ntchito) pagalimoto iyi, panthawi yopanga komanso poyesa."
Ndidayesa kwambiri ndi Rush / Cty Speed, yomwe ndi njinga yokha ya Class 3 pamzerewu. Izi zikutanthauza kuthamanga kwambiri kwa 28 mph, zomwe zimandichititsa kusiya gulu la kanema wa The Verge mufumbi. (Pepani, Becca ndi Alix!) Chifukwa cha Enviolo automatic gear shifter, kufika pa liwiro lapamwambalo kunamveka kopepuka. Sindinazindikire kuti ndimathamanga bwanji ndisanayang'ane chiwonetsero chazing'ono cha Brose digito. (Ndimakonda chiwonetsero chaching'ono cha Brose; opanga ma drivetrain ambiri amasankha mawonedwe akulu kwambiri omwe ndi osafunikira kwenikweni, m'malingaliro mwanga.)
Ndinkangokhala ndi njinga kwa maola angapo, koma chinali chokumana nacho changa choyamba ndi kusintha kwa CVT (kosinthasintha kosinthasintha). Kutumiza kwa kumbuyo kwa Enviolo kumatsekedwa kwathunthu, kumagwiritsa ntchito zamagetsi, ndipo sikufunika kukonzedwa. Pogwiritsa ntchito pulogalamu yolumikizana ndi njinga kudzera pa Bluetooth, mutha kuyika cadence yanu yabwino kotero kuti njinga yamoto nthawi zonse imakhala ngati ili mu zida zabwino.
Sindinapeze mwayi wa futz ndimakonzedwe, omwe anali pang'ono chabe chifukwa panali nthawi zina ndimamva ngati ndikupota miyendo yanga ngati chikhomo. Popeza ndimakhala ndi nthawi yochulukirapo ndi njinga, ndikadakonda kusewera ndi malowa pang'ono pang'ono ndikupeza malo oyenera panjira yanga.
Mosh / Cty ndi Rush / Cty Step-Thru amabwera ndi mapaketi a 529Wh, pomwe Rush / Cty ndi Rush / Cty Speed imabwera ndi mapaketi amphamvu kwambiri a 706Wh. Gulu lomwelo lomwe linapanga mabatire a Harley-Davidson njinga zamoto zamagetsi za LiveWire nawonso apanga mabatire amenewa. Mabatire ophatikizidwa amakhala okwera kwambiri pachimango, chomwe chimathandiza pakukhazikitsa misika ndi magwiridwe antchito.
Chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe zidandidabwitsa ndimomwe njinga zimayendera panjira
Matayala ndi Schwalbe Super Moto-X, ndipo amabwera kukula kwake: 27.5 x 2.4-inchi ndi 27.5 x 2.8-inchi. Koma chimodzi mwazinthu zabwino kwambiri za njinga ndi malo osungira masentimita 620 m'munsi mwa downtube, yomwe iyenera kukhala malo okwanira kusungira loko kwa Abus. Ganizirani izi ngati chipinda chamagudumu amanjinga anu.
Koma iwalani zonsezi kwa miniti: kodi ndizofunika $ 3,000 mpaka $ 5,000? Limenelo ndi funso lenileni. Pali ma e-njinga ambiri - abwino kwambiri, nawonso - omwe atha kukhala otsika mtengo. Ndipo njinga zija sizibwera ndi katundu yense wokhala ndi dzina la Harley-Davidson pa chainstay.
Serial 1 sidzapikisana ndi ma e-bikes a bajeti ochokera ku Swagtron kapena Lectric kapena ma e-bicycle amtengo wotsika ochokera ku Rad Power Bikes, VanMoof, kapena Blix. M'malo mwake, kampaniyo ikuyang'ana kwa opanga akulu monga Giant, Trek, ndi Specialized, omwe amagulitsa ma e-bicycle apamwamba kwa makasitomala apamwamba.
Mabasiketi ochokera kumakampani omwe amachita masewera ofananawo amawononga ndalama zofanana ndi njinga za Serial 1. Ngati Harley-Davidson akufuna kuvala chisoti ndi opanga opangawa, ali ndi dzina lodziwika ndi chikhalidwe cha kutero.
Sindingathe kuyankhapo nthawi yakulipiritsa ya Serial 1 kapena kuyerekezera kwamitundu, popeza sindinakhale ndi nthawi yayitali ndi njinga zomwe zimafunikira malire. Kutengera ndi mulingo wamagetsi, a Mosh / Cty amayenera kutalika ma 35-105 ma kilomita, pomwe mitundu ya Rush / Cty iliyonse imatha pafupifupi 25-115 mamailosi. Ndikusiyana kwakukulu, koma zambiri zimatengera mulingo wamagetsi womwe mukugwiritsa ntchito. Kutalika kwa msinkhu, zochepa zomwe mungayembekezere.
Chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe zidandidabwitsa ndimomwe njinga zamoto zimagwirira ntchito panjira, makamaka poganizira za Serial 1 ikuwagulitsa (makamaka Mosh / Cty) ngati "sewero lapamtunda lamatawuni." Zowona, izi zimangotengera mphindi zochepa zokwera pamizu yamitengo ndi masamba onyowa ku Prospect Park, koma Kuthamanga / Kuthamanga kwa Cty sikunali koyipa komanso kosamalidwa bwino kuposa momwe amayembekezera. Izi zati, sindikuyembekeza kuti ndizikhala ndikutuluka mawilly nthawi ina iliyonse ngati wochita seweroli la 1 - tsiku lomwelo - osati nthawi yomweyo.
Kugulitsa njinga zamagetsi ku US kwakhala kukuphulika kuyambira pomwe mliri wa COVID-19 udayamba, ngakhale ma e-njinga ambiri amachokera kunja. Kupatula Harley akupanga njinga zamagetsi, MW akupanga njinga zamagetsi ndi njinga zamoto, Audi akupanga njinga zamagetsi zamagetsi, Mercedes-Benz idavumbulutsa njinga yamoto yamagetsi, Ford idapeza e-scooter startup Spin, ndipo Jeep posachedwapa yatsegula njinga yamagetsi yamagetsi yamagetsi yamagetsi yayikulu.
