Ukusuka eShanghai kuye eStuttgart ngaphandle konyawo lwekhabhoni

Ngokupheleleyo abo banokuba yingozi yokuhamba kakhulu banokufunda ukuba bangafikelela phi. ” -TS Elliot

Injineli eyinjineli yaseJamani uJoerg Gebers ayisiyiyo imbongi, nangona kunjalo ukulungele ukuya kubude obuhle ukusuka eShanghai kwakhona ukuya kwindawo yakhe yokuhlala eStuttgart ngaphandle kokushiya ikhabhoni.

Emva kweminyaka emi-4 e-China esebenzela ubunjineli baseJamani kunye nokwazi ukuba uBosch uqinile kangakanani, ubuyela kwindawo ahlala kuyo enebhayisekile enamavili amane ebizwa ngokuba yi-velomobile.

I-12,000-yeekhilomitha, yeeveki ezili-10 yemephu ayikhuphileyo iya kudlula entlango kumantla ntshona e-China kwaye iqhubeke nge-Kazakhstan, i-Russia, i-Ukraine ne-Poland. Wemka eShanghai kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo.

Kwiintsuku ezimbini ngaphambilana kokumka, uGebers, oneminyaka engama-51 ubudala, wayexhotyiselwe iindlela neendlela ezahlukeneyo ngenxa yokuvalwa kwemida ngenxa yesifo se-coronavirus.

"Wonke umntu undixelela ukuba ndifaneleke kwaye ndiyeke lo mbono," uxelele iShanghai Yonke imihla ngexesha. “Andazi nokuba ndingakwazi ukulugcwalisa na uhambo, ngenxa yeemeko ezikhoyo. Kodwa xa ndingazami, ngekhe ndiphumelele. Ukuba ndivele ndibhabhe kwindawo yokuhlala emva kokuba kuvulwe imida, ndiya kuzisola kakhulu. ”

Uhambo lwe-velomobile, wakhankanya, yindlela yokuhlangana kwabantu abahlala phakathi kobuso obaziyo eShanghai naseStuttgart. Uceba ukwenza uhambo lwakhe kwimifanekiso.

"Ndiqala apha ngobuso baseShanghain ndigqibe ngobuso baseJamani," utshilo. “Nokuba imeko iyintoni na, sonke siluhlanga olunye. Ndidinga ubuchwephesha kumaphondo amatsha, iintlango, amathafa kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo abantu abahlala kuzo. ”

UGebers wayezimisele ukwenza uhambo lokuhlala kwikhabhoni-cala. Uvavanye ukhetho oluninzi lokwenza oko, kunye nebhayisekile yombane. Iinyanga ezili-12 zokugqibela uzimisele ukusebenzisa i-velomobile. Yibhayisekile enikwe amandla ngabantu kwi-carbon-composite, iqokobhe le-aerodynamic elenza ukuba umqhubi akwazi ukuphinda ahlale phantsi ngelixa ehamba ngeenyawo. Ngaphandle, kubonakala ngathi ikati yexesha elizayo.

Kukho kuphela i-2,500 velomobiles kuhola wendlela kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye iiodolo zeemoto zinamaxesha amade alungele ukubonelelwa. UGebers uyalele iQuattrovelo eyenziwe eYurophu iinyanga ezili-12 ngaphambili. Ixabisa i-8,000 euro (iUS $ 8,980) kwaye yafika isuka eYurophu emva kwexesha.

Uye wathi, "Yimveliso yaseYurophu, kwaye ndiza kurhuqa itreyila eyenzelwe ukusebenzisa amandla elanga ukuze ibambe imithwalo kunye nezibonelelo."

Uye wongeza wathi, “i-China iya ingenamava. Ngakumbi nangaphezulu ulwimi lwaseTshayina luhamba umendo omde kuhambo lweebhayisikile eziqhelekileyo, ii-e-bikes okanye iibhayisekile ezinikwe amandla elanga. Kufanelekile ukuba ndiqale indawo yokuhlala ezinzileyo ukusuka apha. ”

Igumbi lakhe lokuphumla ngaphambi kokumka kwakhe lalinenkangeleko kamasifundisane, enezixhobo kunye neentambo ezininzi zokulungisa izinto ezijikelezileyo kunye neesutikheyisi ezipakishwe ezikwazi ukuthunyelwa yokuhlala.

Unyana ka-Gebers oneminyaka engama-20 ubudala kunye nomhlobo olungileyo, ngoku eJamani, bebecwangciselwe ukubhabha eShanghai bayokumkhwelisa kuhambo, nangona kunjalo kufuneka beyekile ngenxa yokuba bengakwazi ukungena eTshayina ngenxa Izithintelo ze-coronavirus.

UGebers akanguye umnini webhayisekile oyingcali okanye umntu ozimeleyo ophumeleleyo. Olona hambo lude lwebhayisikile awakha waluthatha yayiziikhilomitha ezili-1,000 400 ukujikeleza iYurophu kunye nonyana wakhe. Olona hambo lude alwenzileyo kwi-velomobile yakhe ziikhilomitha ezingama-200. Kolu hambo lwaseJamani, ulindele ukuhamba iikhilomitha ezingama-10, okanye iiyure ezili-XNUMX, yonke imihla.

Umda wohambo lwakhe, ukunqongophala kwamaqabane akhe atyeleleyo kunye nethuba lokuvalwa kwemida ayinguye umceli mngeni awayewukhuphe kwangoko kunokuba ahambe.

"Kunokubakho ithuba lokubamba i-coronavirus okanye ukudala amanqaku ahlukeneyo," utshilo. “Ndiza kujongana nemiba yezobugcisa. Ndingamiswa ngamapolisa angazange alubone olu hlobo lwemoto. ”

Ukuqala kwakhe ukujonga ukubaleka kwezitrato zaseShanghai ngasekupheleni kukaJuni, wamiswa ngamapolisa abatyeleli, athi athatha imoto aza amhlawulisa i-yuan ezili-100 (iUS $ 14.62) ngokuqhuba imoto yombane ngaphandle kwepleyiti egunyazisiweyo.

Ngokugcina amapolisa, imoto elingana neyakhe ayikho kuluhlu lwefashoni egunyazisiweyo ye-e-bike e-China kwaye ngenxa yeli nyani ayifanelekanga ukuba ipleyiti isetyenziswe endleleni.

UGebers uvakalise ukuba yayingeyiyo imoto - ukuba yayiqhutywa ngumntu. Ekugqibeleni wayekwazi ukuyifumana kwakhona imoto yakhe emva kokubonisa amapolisa irisiti yakhe yokuthenga.

"Abanxibelelanisi abaninzi bolwimi lwaseTshayina bashiye ingxelo kwiakhawunti yam yeWeibo emva kokuba beqaphele ulwazi," utshilo. Bandiqinisekisile ukuba andizukukhathazeka ngeedolophu zabo, andoyiki ngoko. Ulwimi oluninzi lwesiTshayina luhamba kuhola wendlela ngeebhayisikile zevoltaic okanye iibhayisikile ezintathu, kwaye lonto iyafana. ”

Ukuthobela umthetho, waqala e-Waibaidu Bridge kufutshane neBund kwibhayisikile yemihla ngemihla, kunye ne-velomobile ehanjiswa ngemoto. Ukufika kwakhe eDianshan Lake kufutshane nomda ophakathi kweShanghai neSuzhou, watshintshela kwi-velomobile. Uye wamiswa ngamapolisa eSuzhou.

Amapolisa akwaSuzhou amazi ngezikhokelo zabakhenkethi abathetha ulwimi lwesiTshayina nangona kunjalo eshukunyiswa kukuzingisa kwakhe kunye nezicwangciso zokujongana nokusingqongileyo, bamyeka.

"Ndichazile ukuba ndikundwendwe lwaseYurophu, kwaye ke bazimisele ukundivumela ndiqhubeke nayo," utshilo xa ebetyelele. "Intle!"

ICoronavirus ayimoyiki kakhulu, nangona kunjalo iphethe ngokwaneleyo ukubonelela ngeemaski zobuso.

“Ndidinga ukubonisa ukuba ngoku kufuneka sibuyele rhoqo, ngaphandle kwentsholongwane. Kuza kubakho intsholongwane enye, kwaye kuza kubakho intsholongwane elandelayo, kwaye sonke ixesha kufuneka sibuyele rhoqo, ”utshilo.

Ngoku kwiveki yakhe yesithathu yohambo, uGebers ufumene iindaba ezimnandi. Umlingane wohambo, uSam Pang, umjoyine intsalela yomlenze wase China wohambo kwibhayisikile yemihla ngemihla enefoto ye-voltaic trailer.

"Umlenze wase China uzokugqibela iiveki ezi-4," utshilo, "ngethemba, yonke imida ecaleni kweyona ndlela iya kuvulwa ngelo xesha."
