Ifunyenwe njani ii-eBikes ze-Lectric eBikes zaba sisilo kwishishini

Iincwadi ze-eBikes zePhoenix zafumanisa njani ukuba ziguqukele kwisilo ngaphakathi kurhwebo

Abaseki beebhayisekile ze-E-Bikes uRobby Deziel, ekhohlo, kunye noLevi Conlow badumisa impumelelo yabo kwiimpembelelo kunye nokuphononongwa kwiYouTube.

Yonke into utata kaLevi Conlow awayeyifuna yayiyibhayisekile yombane engakhange ibangele ukothuka.

Ke xa wayesiya kunyana wakhe kunye nomhlobo omkhulu wonyana wakhe uRobby Deziel ngesindululo sokuba babeke iintloko zabo ngokudibeneyo ukuze bazalisekise iphupha lakhe le-e-bike, abaphumeleleyo kwicandelo elitsha baqala ukuqaphela.

Utata wayengena kweli candelo lobomi bakhe xa wayefuna i-e-bhayisekile kunye nomama. Iipali zabo zinee-bikes, ”utshilo uConlow. “Wayenomsindo. Akakhange ayifumane imali engaphantsi kweedola ezingama-2,000 3,000 okanye ezingama-XNUMX. ”

Kulapho ke indlela yokuhlola enezakhono yeConlow-enamazinga emigangatho ye-bachelor's kunye ne-grasp kumashishini oshishino kunye nolawulo oluvela kwiGrand Canyon College- kunye noDeziel - onesidanga se-bachelor sobunjineli boomatshini kwiKholeji yaseMinnesota- edityaniswe nemfuno yabucala katata.

"Utata notata wethu kunye nepals zabo bekutshiwo ukuba baya kuthenga enye ukuba siyifumene," utshilo uConlow. "Iphupha lokuba nesakhono sokuzisebenzela ngalo lonke ixesha belipholile kwaye besiyenza."

UDeziel wongeze, "Sibeka iintloko zethu ngokudibeneyo ukuze sizenze zifikeleleke kubo bonke abantu ngaphandle kokunikela ngomgangatho ophezulu."

Olo manyano lubange i-Lectric eBikes, i-Conlow kunye ne-Deziel yombane webhayisekile yombane otshintshe waba sisilo ngaphakathi kurhwebo ngaphezulu nje kweenyanga ezili-12 emva kokumiliselwa e-Phoenix ngo-2019. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngaphezu kwe-15,000 yeebhayisekile zabo bathenga. NgoJuni, inkampani ithenge iibhayisikile ezizigidi ezi-3.5 zeerandi kuphela, utshilo uConlow.

Isifundo sithunyelwe kuwo onke amazwe ngaphandle kweHawaii, kwaye siqale ukukhuthaza eCanada. Ezothutho zikhululekile ukuya kumazwe angama-48 adibeneyo.

Le mpumelelo ikhwela kwimfashini yazo ezimbini, i-XP eyahlukileyo kunye ne-shopper-ekhuthazayo yeXP inyathelo-ngeNdlela, nganye nganye inethikithi eyongezelelweyo yexabiso lesipaji se- $ 899.

Ukongeza xa bephanda kwaye befumana kwi-nitty gritty, abaqwalaselanga sizathu sokuba abathengi bahlawule kumanani ama-4.

"Iifemu ezahlukeneyo zifuna nje umda ongcono wengeniso. Ngokwenene sizinikezele kwindawo yokuhlala yabakhweli, ”utshilo uConlow.

Isifundo siyinxalenye yentengiso ye-e-bhayisekili eyayixabisa i-23 yezigidigidi kwi-2019, ngokuhambelana nengxelo yoHlahlelo loHlahlelo. Kukongezwa ukuba kube lixabiso lama-46 ezigidi zeedola ngo-2026, ngokuhambelana ne-Fortune Enterprise Insights.

Oku kuzinikezela kudale ishishini elinenkqubela phambili elixhomekeke kwilizwi-lomlomo. Ingcinga: Ukuhambisa ngenqanawe imveliso evelisa uncedo olomeleleyo oluvela kumathemba, oya kuthi atshintshe abe ngabameli abasulungekileyo xa bemisiwe endleleni ngabantu ababukeleyo.

“Sikwenza oko ukuba kube ngamathemba okusithanda ngokupheleleyo nokusinceda. Ibonisa indawo yommeli othengayo nokuba yeyiphi imimangaliso abaza kuyenza, ”utshilo uConlow.

UBeverly Lambert ebeloluhlobo lwabameli kwasekuqaleni. Yena nomyeni wakhe babini babini i-XP kwaye baneNyathelo-lokuDlula ngendlela.

Umyeni wakhe wayedla ngokuba ngumthengisi webhayisikile buqu bahlala benendlela nganye yebhayisekile eMhlabeni. Into yokugqibela awayeyifuna yayiyenye imodeli efakelweyo. Nangona kunjalo umyeni wakhe ubathengele i-XP's nakanjani.

Uzamile ukubuyisa eyakhe kodwa wanelisekile ukuyizama ngokukhawuleza nje.

“Bendiqhele ukuba ngubani, kulula kakhulu ukukhubeka,” utshilo uLambert, owayechukumisekile kukusebenza kwayo phezulu kwinduli yegrabile. “Ndacinga ukuba, 'Kwenzeka ntoni kanye kanye?'”

Ngokukhawuleza, uLambert ukhwela kuwo onke amathuba anokufumana. Ngoku ukuhambo lwentente, indawo ayisebenzisayo kunye nomyeni wakhe ukunqumla inkampu, iindlela ezinyukayo kunye nokubaleka ngokukhawuleza. Uyithatha kwiindlela zebhayisikile kunye nendawo yokugcina ecaleni kwendlu yakhe iNorco, California.

U-Lambert uncede ukukhuthaza iibhayisekile ezininzi ze-Lectric kubantu abangaqhelekanga kunye nabantu abangabaziyo abaguqukileyo emva kokuba bembonile kuhola wendlela kwaye bembuza nge-e-bhayisekile.

Ukwahlula kwipakethi

UConlow noDeziel baba ngabahlobo ngenxa yokuba inqanaba lesithandathu ledolophu yabo yaseLakeville, eMinnesota. Isikolo sahlulahlula ngokwendawo nangona begcinwe kunxibelelwano kwaye benethemba lokungena kuhlobo oluthile lweshishini ngokudibeneyo emva kokuphumelela.

Benza njalo. Nangona kunjalo kangangexesha elithile, kubonakala ngathi iphupha labo lokushishina kunokuba lula.

Ekuqaleni, uConlow noDeziel, abafudukela kwiNtlambo, bayila inani loguqulelo kwaye bafumana iingcebiso ezisemagqabini kutata notata wabo.

Ekuqaleni, babecinga imodeli yanamhlanje, enobuchwephesha ejolise kubabukeli abancinci. Bayile iibhayisekile, bafumana imveliso kwaye bekulungele ukuqaqamba kubarhwebi.

Nangona kunjalo into abayifumeneyo kukuba ibhayisekile yabo ayinangqondo kubabukeli abayifunayo ngokwenene. Phakathi kwezikhalazo ezininzi: abantu abakwazanga ukungqinelana nayo; bafuna ubuchwephesha obongezelelekileyo; kwaye ukubonakala kwayo ngebhayisikile okuqhelekileyo kwakuthetha ukuba ifuna ukutsalwa kwirakhi yeemoto enezixhobo ezahlukileyo, ezathi zalahla ngokukhawuleza ixabiso eliphantsi lebhayisekile.

"Asikwazanga ukukhuthaza ezi bhayisekile ukuba zisindise ubomi bethu," ukhumbule uDeziel. "Ngazo zonke ezi klasi ngeengcinga, saphinda sabuyela kwibhodi yokuyila."

Baphuma nento enokuba yeyabo iflegi yomntu oyindoda, i-XP. Le modeli inamavili amancinci ububanzi kwaye iyehla iye ezantsi, ivumela abakhweli beendawo eziphakamileyo ezahlukeneyo ukuba baphume ngokulula nangaphandle. Iimbambo kunye nezihlalo ziyahlengahlengiswa kwaye, ngenxa yokusonga ibhayisikile enamafutha, ibhayisekile yomoya ivumela ubuninzi bohambo olongezelelekileyo kwaye akukho mfuneko iyafuneka.

Ihambelana ngokuchanekileyo esiqwini seDeizel's Honda Civic. Inokwenza ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwindlela eya kwiigrabile kunye neendlela ezinyukayo.

Ibhayisekile nayo iyaqokelelwa xa ithunyelwa ngenqanawa. Zonke izinto ekufuneka zenziwe kukupompoza amavili kwaye zenze utshintsho lwezihlalo kunye nebar yokuphatha zihlala zilungile.

Zonke ezo, zikhankanywe nguDeziel, zinokuba zizinto eziphambili ezizahlula kwiphakeji.

“Kwabanye, kuyacetyiswa ukuba ubeke amavili kunye neephatho kwaye wakhe isihlalo. Inkampani enye ikucela ukuba wakhe iziqhoboshi, ”utshilo uDeziel. “Indlela esiyibona ngayo, ngabantu abahamba ngebhayisekile. Asililo lonke ithemba lethu ngoomatshini. ”

Ukunyuka ngokukhawuleza kwee-oda

Kwangoko, kwakungekho mntu ulumayo. Utata kunye nomama wabo ibingoyena mntu wayenethemba. UDeziel wayevavanya iakhawunti yakhe kwakhona kwaye emisela ukuba yeyiphi na imihla anokukwazi ukuhlala kuyo apha ngaphambili kunokuphinda aqhube indlu.

“Besingenasitokhwe. Akukho mali. Besinetyala kutata wam, ”utshilo uConlow.

Bathathe ukubheja ngemali encinci ababenayo, benza iibhayisekile ezisibhozo bazithumela kubaphembeleli. Ngaphandle kwemali yokunxulumana nabo, abanye abantu bawele iminwe yabo ukuba hayi ngaphantsi kweqela labaphembeleli abaza kungenisa ngokuqinisekileyo ngebhayisekile.

"Besinezikhonkwane kunye neenaliti," utshilo uConlow.

Ngokukhawuleza, enye impembelelo ifikelele kwaye ikhankanyile ukuba uyayithanda ibhayisekile iya kungenisa uvavanyo. Nangona kunjalo, babethandabuza. Abakhange bacwangcise iakhawunti yokutshekisha kwaye bazimisele ukubeka indawo yewebhu ngomzuzu wokugqibela.

"Akukho ndlela abantu abaza kuthenga ngayo isithuthuthu ngosuku lokuqala," utshilo uConlow ngokujonga kwabo ngexesha. Sizimisele ukwenza ingxelo kamva. ”

Ngosuku lokuqala lwevidiyo ephembelelekileyo eposelweyo, kuthengwe i $ 30,000 kwiibhayisikile zeLectric. Ngaphezulu kweeyure ezingama-24 ezilandelayo, enye enye engama-30,000 yeedola kwintengiso yonke, utshilo uConlow.

"Sasazi ukuba sineefilimu ezahlukeneyo ezicwangciselwe ukubuya emva kolo suku lokuqala," utshilo uDeziel. “Ndizicingele, 'andiyicingi le nto, yinto ebhadlileyo ... oh ndoda, sele izokufika nakule crazier.'”

Ngelixa iqumrhu lalineentsuku ezili-10 liphelelwe lixesha, ividiyo yesibini eyayinempembelelo yayithumele, ivelisa i-120,000 yeedola ngemini kwintengiso yonke.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, loo akhawunti yokujonga ngokuqinileyo yayilungiselelwe ngokukhawuleza.

Kwimpawu zemihla engama-21, uLectric uthenge i-1 yezigidi zeedola kwi-odolo zangaphambili. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zaseprayimari, uConlow noDeziel basebenze kwindawo yokugcina iPhoenix besenza i-1 yezigidi zeedola ngenyanga. Basebenza iiyure ezingama-18 iiyure kwaye baphendula ngokwabo ii-imeyile kunye neefowuni.

“Besididekile. Khange sibenalo ixesha lokuyiqonda ngenxa yokuba besigqityiwe yiyo. Oko besisenza nje umzamo wokuqhubeka, ”utshilo uConlow. "Kodwa emva kokungabinanto, besinemincili yokuvuka siye emsebenzini siphendule le minxeba kunye neemail."

Ukusukela ngoko, bongeze kubasebenzi babo kwaye baphuma ngaphandle kugcino baya kwikomkhulu leenyawo ezili-13,000-square kunye negumbi lokubonisa.

Uninzi lwesiseko se-Lectric shopper siphakathi kweminyaka engama-45-80, abangakhange babe kwisithuthuthu kungekudala okanye abanendawo zokuhamba ezibamisa ekusebenziseni ibhayisekile eqhelekileyo, utshilo uDeziel. Nangona kunjalo, bonke bangaphandle kwaye bayonwaba ngexesha kwindalo.

Abathengi abaninzi, njengeeLambertre, basebenzisa iibhayisikile zabo ezijikeleze iinkampu, bafumane iindlela ngelixa besenza intente okanye bebaleka besiya esixekweni ngaphandle kokukhupha iimoto zabo. Oku kukhokelele ukubandakanyeka kukaLectric kwiiNdlu kwiWheel Alliance, engenzi nzuzo enceda abantu abalwa ukungabi namakhaya ngokutshintsha iivenkile zibe yindawo ezinokuphilwa kwaye zibancede ekulawuleni iimali zabo.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uLectric uxhase ii-outs ezimbini kunye nesicwangciso sokwenza okungaphezulu.

Siyavuya ngokungaqhelekanga kwaye sinombulelo wokuba sikwazi ukuba yinxalenye yabo. Ukuqonda nje impembelelo kubalulekile kuthi, ”utshilo uConlow.

Yonke ibhayisekile iza nesiqinisekiso sonyaka omnye, esinye sezixhobo ezininzi u-Deziel awayeyazi ukuba ufuna ukusebenza njengoko inkampani iqaphela ukuba iprofayili inyuka ngokukhawuleza.

"Siziva ngokwenene sinoxanduva malunga nento esiyenzayo ngamathemba ethu. Besifuna ukuyenza yonke le nto ukuze abantu babenolwazi oluthembekileyo, utshilo.

I-Step-Via mannequin yayiyimpendulo kumathemba okucela ibhayisikile elula ngokulula ukuze ungene kwaye uphume kuyo. Umzimba uvumela lula ngakumbi ukuzama oku.

Usuku oluphambili oluhlanganisiweyo lwazisa ngokusungulwa kwalo, lwathenga i-300,000 yeedola kwi-odolo zangaphambili, utshilo uConlow. Yena noDeziel kwakufuneka baphendule iminxeba kunye nee-imeyile ngokulula ukujongana neendwendwe ezivenkileni. Kwakunjalo xa uConlow ethatha igama kwintombazana egama linguSue eyayinemeko yomlenze eyayimthintela ukuba angafiki kwi-XP. Wayenemincili ngenxa yenyathelo-lokuhamba, angakhubeka kunye nomyeni wakhe.

"Uneenyembezi endixelela ngokubhekisele kwimpembelelo yebhayisekile kunye nendlela eza kutshintsha ngayo ubomi bakhe," utshilo uConlow. Iqinisekisile ukuba kutheni sisenza into esiyenzayo nokuba kutheni siyila oko sikwenzayo. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba simke nabani na ngaphandle kwaye abantu abaninzi basebenzise njengezinto ezinokwenziwa. Yinto entle ngokwenene ukuba yinxalenye yayo. ”
