Isithuthuthu
Emva kweminyaka kuphuhliso, uHarley-Davidson ekugqibeleni wabuyisa ikhethini kulungelelwaniso olutsha lweebhayisikile zombane.
Ukuhlaziya ngokukhawuleza kwabo baphosileyo isibhengezo sokuqala: Uthotho 1 yinkampani yebhayisekile yombane ezimeleyo ephume ku-Harley-Davidson ngo-Okthobha ophelileyo. Ekuqaleni, uSiriyeli 1 uza kuthengisa iibhayisikile ezine, kumaxabiso aqala kwi- $ 3,399 ukuya kwi- $ 4,999. Amagama e-brand Mosh / Cty, ibhayisekile yesixeko, kunye neRuter / Cty yabakhweli, eza ngeendlela ezintathu (eziqhelekileyo, iStep-Thru, kunye neSantya). Nganye iza nemoto yedrive esembindini ekwaziyo ukuvelisa i-250W yamandla aqhubekayo kunye nokubetha isantya esiphezulu se-20mph-ngaphandle kweRush / Cty Speed, enokuhamba ngokukhawuleza.
Ndiya kuvuma, ndandingenakucinga ukuba uHarley-Davidson angayikhupha. Xa usiva malunga neenkampani ezijolise kwiimoto zomlilo ezikhupha ezabo iibhayisikile zombane, ixesha elininzi, sisivumelwano nje sokuthengisa iilayisensi. (Cinga i-e-bike kaJeep okanye ezo zibhayisikile zeHummer ukusukela kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo.) Ngamanye amaxesha, yiprojekti ethe kratya ephela isiba lixhoba kwimikhosi emikhulu, njengee-bikes zeGeneral Motors.
Kodwa ayisiyiyo le. Ezi zii-e-bikes eziyilwe zaza zenziwa liqela elizinikeleyo labathandi beebhayisekile ngaphakathi kwimveliso ye-skunkworks ka-Harley-Davidson. Kwaye oko kuzinikezela kunye nobugcisa bukhanya kwimveliso yokugqibela.
Ukubeka nje, ezi ziibhayisikile ezintle, zinoyilo olucocekileyo oludibanisa zonke iintambo ngaphakathi kwisakhelo. I-drive esembindini ye-Brose Mag S yebrashi yangaphakathi engenamandla yayinamandla kwaye ithule cwaka. Zombini iimoto kunye nebhetri ziphantsi kakhulu kwibhayisekile, ziphantsi kakhulu kunesiqhelo. NgokukaSiriyali 1 ngumphathi wemveliso uAaron Frank, oku kudala indawo esezantsi yomxhuzulane, ephucula ukuphathwa kunye nokubekwa ekhoneni.
"U-Harley-Davidson uyazi kakhulu okanye nangaphezulu kwakhe nabani na malunga nokuyila kunye nobunjineli bokuphatha kakuhle, ngokuphendula ngokwendalo inqwelo enamavili amabini," utshilo uFrank. "Kwaye zonke ezi zifundo - ukuyila izithuthuthu malunga nobuninzi be-centralization, malunga ne-geometry engaguquguqukiyo, malunga nokuphathwa kweendlela zokukhwela-ziye zasetyenziswa kwesi sithuthi, kwinqanaba loyilo nakwinqanaba lovavanyo."
Ndenze kakhulu kuvavanyo lwam ngeRush / Cty Speed, ekuphela kwayo kwebhayisekile yeklasi 3 kulungelelwaniso. Oko kwakuthetha isantya esiphezulu se-28 mph, esasindishiya rhoqo Iqela levidiyo yeVeringe eluthulini. (Uxolo, u-Becca kunye no-Alix!) Ndiyabulela kwi-Enviolo shifter esizenzekelayo, ukunyukela kweso santya siphezulu siziva singenamsebenzi. Andiqondanga ukuba bendihamba ngokukhawuleza kangakanani ngaphambi kokujonga kwisibonisi esisezantsi seBrose yedijithali. (Ndiyithande kakhulu imbonakalo ye-Brose encinci; abenzi beedrivetrain ezininzi bakhetha ukuboniswa okungaphezulu kakhulu okungafunekiyo. Okuncinci kunoluvo lwam.)
Ndineebhayisikile kuphela iiyure ezimbalwa, kodwa yayingamava am okuqala nge-CVT (uguquko oluqhubekayo). Ukuhanjiswa kwe-enviolo yehabhu ngasemva kufakwe ngokupheleleyo, kunikwe amandla ngombane, kwaye akufuneki kulondolozwe. Usebenzisa usetyenziso oludibanisa ibhayisekile ngeBluetooth, unokuseta indawo yakho efanelekileyo ukuze ibhayisekile ihlale ivakalelwa ngokungathi ikwiigiya ezifanelekileyo.
Khange ndifumane thuba le-futz ngezicwangciso, ebezincinci kancinci kuba bekukho amaxesha apho bendiziva ngathi bendijikelezisa imilenze yam njenge-pinwheel. Ukunikwa ixesha elininzi ngebhayisekile, ndingathanda ukudlala ngeenxa zonke kunye nelo phawu kancinci kwaye ndifumane indawo efanelekileyo yesitayile sam sokukhwela.
I-Mosh / Cty kunye ne-Rush / i-Cty Step-Thru iza neebhetri ezingama-529Wh, ngelixa iRush / Cty kunye neRush / Cty Speed iza neepakethe ezinamandla ngakumbi ezingama-706Wh. Eli qela linye liphuhlise iibhetri zeHarley-Davidson zombane izithuthuthu zeLiveWire zikwaphuhlisile ezi bhetri. Iibhetri ezidityanisiweyo zibekwe phantsi kakhulu kwisakhelo, esinceda ukuba kubekwe phakathi ubukhulu kunye nokuphuculwa kokuphathwa.
ENYE YEZINTO EZANDIMISE NGOKWENENE YINDLELA EZIQHELEKILEYO NGEZOBHAYISIKI
Amavili yiSchwalbe Super Moto-X, kwaye eza ngobukhulu obukhulu: 27.5 x 2.4-intshi kunye 27.5 x 2.8-intshi. Kodwa enye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo zebhayisikile yindawo yokugcina eyakhelwe-ngaphakathi engama-620 cubic-centre kwisiseko sedowube, ekufuneka ibe yindawo eyoneleyo yokugcina isitshixo sokusonga i-Abus. Yicinge njengeglavu yebhayisekile.
Kodwa ulibale yonke loo nto ngomzuzu: ngaba baxabisa i-3,000 ukuya kwi-5,000 yeedola? Lowo ngumbuzo wokwenene. Zininzi ii-e-bikes-ezilungileyo kakhulu, nazo-ezinokubakho ngexabiso eliphantsi. Kwaye ezo bhayisekile azizanga nayo yonke imithwalo yokuba negama lika-Harley-Davidson kwikhonkco.
Uthotho 1 alunakukhuphisana nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwee-bikes ezivela kwi-Swagtron okanye i-Lectric okanye ii-e-bikes ezithengisiweyo ezinamaxabiso aphantsi ezivela kwiRad Power Bikes, VanMoof, okanye Blix. Endaweni yokuba inkampani ithathe injongo kubavelisi abaphambili abanjengoGiant, Trek, kunye noKhethekileyo, abathengisa ii-e-bikes zepremiyamu yabathengi abasiphelo esiphezulu.
Iibhayisikile ezivela kwezo nkampani zemidlalo zineendleko ezifanayo malunga neebhayisikile zeSiriyali 1. Ukuba u-Harley-Davidson ufuna ukuya kwisigcina-ntloko kunye nabo bavelisi baphambili, inegama lokwamkelwa kunye nenkunzi yenkcubeko yokwenza oko.
Andikwazi ukunika izimvo ngexesha leSiri1 yokutshaja okanye uluhlu lweentelekelelo, kuba bendingenalo ixesha elaneleyo ngeebhayisekile ukuya kwimida efanelekileyo. Kuxhomekeka kwinqanaba lamandla, iMosh / Cty kufanele ukuba ifumane i-35-105 yeemayile zoluhlu, ngelixa iRush / Cty eyahlukileyo nganye ifumana malunga ne-25-115 yeemayile zoluhlu. Umahluko omkhulu kakhulu, kodwa okuninzi kuya kuxhomekeka kweliphi inqanaba lamandla owasebenzisayo. Ephakamileyo inqanaba, uluhlu oluncinci onokulindela.
Enye yezinto eyandothusayo yindlela eziphatha ngayo iibhayisekile zisendleleni, ngakumbi xa kuthathelwa ingqalelo iSiriyali 1 iyazithengisa (ngakumbi iMosh / Cty) “njengeyona ndawo yokudlala edolophini.” Kuyavunywa, oku kusekwe kwimizuzu nje embalwa ekhwele ngaphezulu kweengcambu zomthi kunye namagqabi amanzi eProspect Park, kodwa isantya seRush / Cty sasimile kwaye siphathwa ngcono kunokuba bekulindelwe. Oko kwathethi, andilindelanga ukuba ndiza kuphuma ngeevili nangaliphi na ixesha kungekudala njengomdlali weqonga we-serial 1-evelisiweyo yevidiyo-ubuncinci hayi kwangoko.
Ukuthengiswa kwebhayisikile yombane e-US bekuqhuma okoko kwaqala ubhubhane we-COVID-19, nangona uninzi lwee-bikes zithunyelwa phesheya. Ngaphandle kokuba u-Harley esenza i-Electric Bikes, i-MW yenza iibhayisikile zombane kunye nezithuthuthu, i-Audi ivelisa iibhayisikile zombane ezintabeni, iMercedes-Benz ityhile isithuthuthu sombane, iFord ifumene i-e-scooter startup Spin, kwaye iJeep kutsha nje ityhile ibhayisekile yombane ephezulu.
