Ubume obuchaseneyo bee-E-Bikes: Isixhobo sokukhula somthambo

Ukunyuka kwe-e-bhayisekile kumalunga nokuhamba kakhulu, njengoko abantu beguqukele kwifashoni ukwandisa … [+] uloliwe

Ukungahoywa, okwesibini, umzobo wokuhamba kwentengiso ekhulayo ye-e-bhayisekile. Ukongeza ukujonga ukufuna ukwazi okwandayo kwi-e-bikes njengokukhetha ibhayisekile kwintaba ukunceda abakhweli ukuba benyuke intaba kwakamsinya ukubavumela badlule ezantsi rhoqo. Ngelixa zonke iibhayisekile zinesibini ngo-2020 kwaye ii-e-bikes zongezwe ngaphezu kweklasi nganye, iingcali zibona ukwamkelwa okubalulekileyo ngaphakathi kwendawo kuba i-e-bike kuloliwe. Ngokuqinisekileyo, loo nkqubo yokuncedisa i-pedal ngokuqinisekileyo iyabanyanzela abantu ukuba basebenze ixesha elide.

U-Ian Kenny, oyintloko kwezentengiso kunye nentengiso kwihlabathi kunye nomphathi wangaphambili we-TeslaTSLA uthi: "I-E-bikes yenza imicimbi enomdla nengaphenduliyo." “Ngokuqhelekileyo, abantu abakhubekisa i-e-bike bafumana uloliwe owongezelelweyo, baqhuba ngokuthe kratya nangaphezulu. Ukutshayelela kraca abakhweli abatsha, ii-e-bikes zinefuthe elingenakuthelekiswa nanto lokushiya umbono owakhayo wohambo lwakho kwangoko.

Injalo imeko ebhodini ngezi fashoni zincedisa kwimfashini ezisebenzisa iinjini zombane ukubonelela abakhweli ezongeziweyo ezonyusa kangangeekhilomitha ezingama-20 ngeyure xa unyathela. “Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo sibona abantu befumana i-e-bike kuloliwe,” utshilo u-Isabelle Portilla, i-REI Co-op Manufacturers usekela-sihlalo wecandelo lobuchwephesha bemveliso kunye noyilo, "kwaye uhlalutyo luyanceda oku. Kuthi nee-e-bikes zethu zithande ukukhubeka rhoqo kwaye nangona kunjalo zifumana intlawulo yeentliziyo zabo. ”

UMorgan Lommele, umlawuli welizwe kunye ne-PeopleForBikes yomlawuli welizwe kunye nokugubungela okwendalo, uthi ubona ukwanda kwenani labantu lokuqhuba i-e-bikes, ukusuka ekunyukeni kwabantu ababanqwenela ukuya emsebenzini, kodwa ukongeza kuloliwe. Uthi nokuba yiminyaka nje embalwa edlulileyo ukujika kwabantu ukuya kwi-e-bhayisekile kunokwenzeka ukuba bekuthintelwe ukuqhuba ngokulunga okanye ngeengozi. Ngelixa thina ngokuqinisekileyo sihamba, nangona kunjalo, inani labantu liqhubekile nokukhula.

Imijikelezo entsha kraca ye-REI Co-op ECTY 2.1 kunye ne-eCTY 2.2 ihambisa i-e-bikes kwimodeli yexesha lokuqala.

"Iintsomi azikho kulindelo lobuchwephesha bokwenyani, nangona kunjalo bafuna amandla okuba ngaphandle baphinde benze," utshilo uLommele. "Ndiva ukuba le patheni izakuphuhla kwaye abantu abaqhuba ngoku bazakukhubeka ebomini."

Ulwazi oluvela kwiqela le-NPD lubonisa ukuba unyaka-wonke, ukuthengiswa kwe-e-bike kuthengisiwe kukhule nge-142%, kudlula i-330 yezigidi zeedola kwaye kukodlula ukukhula kwesabelo kwintengiso epheleleyo yebhayisikile. Bakhokelwa ngabenzi abaphambili abaKhethekileyo kunye noTrek, kunye nomgaqo weTrk's Electra, uphuhliso lwe-e-bike lwenza ubulungisa kuwo wonke umdlalo.

"Ngokuthetha nomvelisi ngamnye we-e-bicycle kunye nabathengisi, amaqela amabini e-shopper akhankanywa rhoqo," utshilo uDirk Sorenson, imisebenzi yezemidlalo yeQela le-NPD elandela umlawuli karhulumente kunye nomhlalutyi weshishini. “Abakhweli abadala babonakala ngathi bayonwaba ngee-e-bikes njengoko bethomalalisa ingqwalaselo yabo malunga nemingeni enokubakho enxulumene nokuqhuba ibhayisekile. Amanqaku afana neenduli ezinkulu okanye ukukhutshwa kwamanzi ancitshisiwe nge-e-bhayisekile. Eli liqela elilele ukukhula okuqinileyo kwangaphambili kwiklasi. Ngoku, ii-e-bikes zicingelwa liqela elibanzi lokuthenga. Eli qela labathengi beebhayisekile ngumthengi omiselweyo. Bayalwamkela uncedo lwebhayisikile ye-e-bhayisekile njengomsebenzi omnandi kwisithuthuthu kwaye bagqibe ekuphuculeni ukuthenga kwabo kwisithuthuthu ngolu lwazi. Eli qela litsha lityhale uphuculo lwee-e-bikes ezinokuthi zenziwe ikakhulu ngebhayisikile esezintabeni, ukuqhuba kuhola wendlela kunye namava ahlukeneyo okuqhuba ibhayisekile. ”

Kungenxa yoko le nto sibona iindidi ezikhulayo phaya. E-bikes ezijolise kwezothutho ziya kuhlala ziyinxalenye ye-equation ngalo lonke ixesha, nangona kunjalo ukuhamba ngeebhayisikile entabeni, ukuqhuba igrabile, ukuqhuba umgaqo kunye noololiwe kuthathe kugqaliso olutsha kraca. "Njengokuba ezi zoyilo zitshintsha zibe zintle kakhulu," utshilo uSorenson, "Ndiqinisekile ukuba intengiso e-bhayisekile iya kuqhubeka ukufezekisa amandla aphuma apho."

Ukugqibezela oko, Co-op Imijikelezo ngo-Septemba yazisa imodeli yokuqala ye-e-bhayisekile i-CTY e2.1 kunye ne-CTY e2.2. Olu khetho lutsha lwe-e-bike olusuka kwimodeli yasekhaya ye-REI luvula uhola wendlela kunye nokukhethwa kwendlela, evumela abantu ukuba bahambe nokuba umzimba wabo awukuvumeli ukuhamba ngebhayisikile okuqhelekileyo kwaye uqinisekisa ukuba abantu banokugcina kunye nabatshatileyo okanye abahlobo abalungele ngakumbi. "Kwimijikelezo ye-Co-op sidala iibhayisekile zabantu kunye nokwazi i-e-bike ukuvumela abantu abongezelelekileyo ukuba baphume ngamavili amabini, baya ngaphezulu, bethwele ngaphezulu okanye bonwabe nje kukonwabela ilifti kuhambo lwabo," uPortilla utsho. “Siyathanda ukuba abantu kuyo yonke iminyaka kunye nezakhono bayazithanda ii-e-bikes kwaye kungumphumo wee-bikes ukuba nje bayonwabele ukukhubeka. Ezi bhayisekile zinokunceda ukukhawulezisa uhambo, zilungise indlela eyandisiweyo okanye imvume kuthi yezakhono ezahlukeneyo zokuhamba ngokudibeneyo. ”

Yonke imijikelezo entsha ye-REI Co-op ye-e-bhayisekile yomeleza umgca wemodeli ye-CTY kunye nendlela efanelekileyo yokuphumelela.

Ngaphakathi kumgca we-Co-op Cycles CTY, imodeli ye-REI edibene noShimano yemoto kunye nebhetri kwaye ibandakanya i-rack eyakhelweyo, ukumiswa kokungena kunye nezibane ezakhelweyo. UPortilla uthi ulindele ukuqhubekeka nokuguqula indlela ikakhulu isekwe kwinto ehambelana nomanyano lwentsebenziswano. “Ukufumanisa ukuba ingaba ii-e-bikes ziyangqinelana na kumgaqo wee-Co-op, siqale ngokudibana namalungu ethu amaninzi kunye nabasebenzi malunga nezimvo zabo ngeebhayisikile, ukongeza koko babala ukuba kufanelekile i-e-bike, utshilo. "Uninzi lweengcebiso emva koko luyakhelwe ngaphakathi kwikhosi yethu yoyilo."

Uninzi lwamazwe anezikhokelo zomthetho ezichaza ii-e-bikes njengeebhayisikile, yenza ukuba kube lula kubathengi ukuba bayazi indawo abaza kuhamba kuyo kwaye baya kwandisa ukwamkelwa. Kwaye njengokuba ibhetri kunye nokwazi imoto kuqhubeka ukomeleza nokwakhiwa ngaphakathi ngaphandle komthungo kwibhayisekile, uninzi lwazo alunakubonwa njengee-bikes, uLommele ubona uphuhliso lwetekhnoloji “olukhawulezileyo nolukhanyayo”.

USorenson uthi ngeendawo zokuzivocavoca umzimba kunye nokuba nezixhobo zegalufa zivaliwe kangangeenyanga kwiindawo ezininzi, abathengi ngebebenomdla wokuchitha imali kwiibhayisikile ezinamaxabiso aphezulu, ezijolise ekusebenzeni njengokukhetha impilo.

Ukudityaniswa kokusebenzisa kuya kuqhubeka kuphela, kuqhubeka nokonwaba, utshilo uLommele. "Ngonyaka ngamnye yifashoni entsha iphuma ngamandla amatsha," utshilo. "Ungafumana nje kude kuyo nayiphi na ibhayisekile, uphume uhambe usuku lonke kwaye unokwenza okungaphezulu kwaye ubone okungaphezulu kwisithuthuthu kwaye ungoyiki ngokohluka nangobomi bebhetri ngenxa yolwazi oluguquka minyaka le."
