Ama-eBikes Nezinqola Ezidonswa Ngamahhashi Azihlanganisi Njalo E-Acadia National Park

Ukuchotshozwa kwamabhayisikili - amandla ngamunye we-muscle-ne-eBikes - kudale ukungqubuzana nezinqola ezidonswa ngamahhashi kufayela le-Acadia Nationwide Park / NPS

Ngenkathi uJohn D. Rockefeller Jr. eyosebenza ikhulu leminyaka edlule esungula umphakathi wemigwaqo yezinqola e-Acadia National Park, wacabanga izindlela ezihamba phambili lapho abagibeli nezinqola ezidonswa ngamahhashi bangahamba khona ngenjabulo, kude nezimoto ezihamba ngezimoto. AbeNationalwide Park Service bayamukela le migwaqo, futhi kwaphela iminyaka benqabela “izimoto” ezivela kunoma imuphi umgwaqo oqokelwe noma owakhelwe izivakashi indawo edonswa amahhashi, ngaphandle kwezimoto ezisemthethweni ezinemvume yokusebenza.

Ngalo mzuzu nje, noma kunjalo, abagibeli abagunyazwe ngokungabaza, futhi ngokungangabazeki abangekho emthethweni, amabhayisikili ahamba ngezimoto kule migwaqo baphamba futhi bahlukumeze namahhashi adonsa izivakashi ngokuthula ngepaki.

Izinqola ezidonswa ngamahhashi eminyakeni eyedlule zibe nezingxabano ezithile namabhayisikili anikwa amandla yimisipha asebenzisa ngokusemthethweni imigwaqo yezinqola, kepha ukufika kwama-eBikes ngasekupheleni kwesizini yokugcina yehlobo kuholele emaphuzwini athe xaxa kulo nyaka. Abanye abagibeli be-eBike ngezikhathi ezithile bakhuphuka ngokushesha bahambe ngezinqola ezidonswa ngamahhashi, ngemuva kwalokho bajike kakhulu ekungeneni kwamahhashi. Abanye bashaya amahhashi ezinhlangothini zabo noma bagijimise izintende zezandla zabo eceleni kwamahhashi, kusho u-Emily Carpenter, umphathi wamaCarriers ase-Acadia, oveza abagibeli bezinqola kusukela ngoMeyi kuya ku-Okthoba futhi ngokufanayo wethula abagibeli abagibela amahhashi abadinga ukuthola izindlela ezingama-45 izintaba zabo uqobo.

"Kukhona isiminyaminya esithe xaxa emigwaqweni yezinqola enamahhashi, amabhayisikili, manje nama-eBikes," esho ngesonto lokugcina. “Izinkinga esinazo azikho kulezo ezingagunyazwa, kepha sibona ama-eBikes amaningi angekho emthethweni, futhi akukho lapho ezihlola khona. Ukuze uthole lezo ezingaba semakethe ezinokushayiseka okuqondile kuzo, ngokuvamile zindiza ngathi uma sikhuphuka umqansa. ”

Yize izimoto ezihamba ngezimoto, kanye nama-eBikes, ezinde zivinjelwe ekuhambeni ezindleleni zokuhamba, ngo-Agasti 2019 uNobhala Wangaphakathi uDavid Bernhardt wayala iNationalwide Park Service ukuthi ivule ukungena kwamabhayisikili ahamba ngezimoto kunoma iyiphi imizila engathathwa yibhayisikili lectric e. Ekhipha lo myalelo, obekelwa inselelo ngesizathu sokuthi ukhishwe ngendlela engafanele, uBernhardt uthe ukhetho "lwenza lula futhi luhlanganise ukulawulwa kwamabhayisikili kagesi (ama-eBikes) emazweni aseFederal aphethwe yiCandelo futhi ngokufanayo kunciphisa umthwalo wokulawula."

Empeleni, yize, okungenani e-Acadia, ukuguqulwa komthetho kuholele ekuphuthumeni kwamakhasimende e-lectric e emigwaqeni yezinqola futhi kwadala umthwalo epaki engenabo abagibeli abanele ukuba babe kuyo yonke indawo. Futhi ngenkathi izisekelo zicacisa ukuthi ama-eBikes weClass 1 kuphela, lawa angasiza ekunyakazeni izinyawo kuphela, ngaphandle kokuphamba, futhi abe nesivinini esisizwa kakhulu esingu-20 mph, angathatha imigwaqo yezinqola, UCarpenter nabanye bathi babone iClass Ama-eBikes ama-2 asizwe ngempucuko.

"Sibe namaphuzu ngamabhayisikili eminye iminyaka, noma ngabe bebefunda ibhayisikili noma (bekuvamile)," esho ngesonto lokugcina. “Akubophekile ukuba bonke abantu emabhayisikili noma kuma-eBikes, kube ngabantu abazithola bengazilandeli izisekelo. Kodwa-ke, sivele sabona umehluko omkhulu njengoba manje sesifake imoto kubambalwa abantu ebebevele bengamabhayisikili ajwayelekile. ”

Kungekudala ngemuva kokuthi uBernhardt ekhiphe i-oda lakhe ngonyaka owedlule, uLauren Cosgrove, umphathi wohlelo olusenyakatho-mpumalanga yeNational Parks Conservation Association, uzwakalise isexwayiso esingokwesiprofetho sezinkinga ezingaba khona ezingavela kuma-eBikes emigwaqweni yezinqola.

"Ngaphandle kokuhlola kahle imithelela, nesikhathi esanele somphakathi jikelele ukusiza ukwazisa ngalesi sinqumo, ipaki selizivulela izingxabano zamakhasimende ezingenamqondo," esho ngaleso sikhathi. “Ngaso sonke isikhathi siqanjwa njengamapaki avakashelwa kakhulu ezweni lonke, abantu bahamba besuka yonke indawo emhlabeni beya e-Acadia Nationwide Park futhi ikakhulukazi njengamanje. Manje indawo lapho izivakashi zihamba khona, zihamba ngezinyawo futhi zihambe ziyofuna isizungu futhi zibalekele izinto nemisindo yezwe elihamba phambili kungenzeka lihlanganiswe namabhayisikili angahle adume ngawo, ahambele amamayela angama-20 ngehora.

“Ukuqapha nokuphoqelela ukusetshenziswa kwamabhayisikili ezintabeni cishe kuzoba nzima ngokweqile ngenxa yokuvakashelwa ngokweqile kwe-Acadia kanye nemithombo ebekelwe imingcele. Lokhu kuphatha kuyaqhubeka nokufaka ingcindezi kubaphathi bamapaki ukuthi bangenele izinqubomgomo zomshuwalense ezingaphikisana nokuphathwa okuqinisekisiwe okuvikela imithombo yepaki kanye nobuchwepheshe bamakhasimende. Ukuhlaziywa okwengeziwe kuyadingeka ukuthola indawo nokuthi ama-eBikes angasetshenziswa kanjani ngokuphepha nokuthi zingakanani amanani lezi zimoto ezingaba nawo epaki kanye nabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezi-3.5 eziya e-Acadia minyaka yonke. ”

Ibhayisikili lezintaba i-e kanye nezimoto ezahlukahlukene ezinemoto - Umbazi ubone iSegways (ezivunyelwe uma kwenzeka zisetshenziselwa i-ADA) nezikuta ezibizwa ngogesi iRazor - kungenza kube nzima kubashayeli bezinqola, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuthi bathule kakhulu abashayeli abazizwa ngaso sonke isikhathi baze babe eceleni kwamakalishi. Ukujwayela amahhashi kumabhayisikili ahlukene ngokuphelele nezikuta kuyinkinga, futhi, kusho uCarpenter.

"Zonke izenzo ezihluke ngokuphelele, konke lokhu kungenzeka kuyethusa kancane," kuchaza yena. "Ayikho indlela yokuthi sizijwayeze zonke izinto ngenxa yokuthi asazi ukuthi yini esizoyanelisa emakethe."

Impendulo enkulu enkulu inabagibeli abambalwa, kumabhayisikili ajwayelekile ngamunye naku-eBikes.

“Amahhashi ami ashaywe abagibeli bamabhayisikili, bangenelwe abagibeli bamabhayisikili abasebenza,” kusho uCarpenter. “Amahhashi ethu ahle kakhulu. Badinga ukubakhahlela. Iningi lamahhashi laliyokhahlela noma libhoboze bese liqala ukubaleka nabagibeli (enqoleni). Lokho kuyinkinga yami. Besebenzisa amahhashi, bazokhipha, bakhahlele, bahambe, ibhawudo. Ngiye nabancane bawe emabhayisikili abo e moto efanele ngokulandela amahhashi. Ngokusobala, kuningi kuphela esizokwenza. Sike sakhahlelwa amahhashi amabili kodwa-ke hhayi ukukhahlela noma ngubani ngemuva kokuwashaya ngempela. ”

E-Acadia, uchwepheshe wezindaba zomphakathi uChristie Anastasia uthe kukhona nomgibeli wesithuthuthu emigwaqweni yezinqola muva nje.

"(Izinqola ze-Acadia) bezilokhu zithuthukiswa ngokungalingani ekuxhumaneni okungathandeki nebhayisikili lezintaba ikakhulukazi," kusho u-Anastasia. "Ukusebenzisana kuye kwaqala (kubagibeli bamabhayisikili) kuqhamuka ngokushesha okukhulu ngemuva futhi wethusa amahhashi, kudlula ngokukhulu ukushesha, ngemuva kwalokho kunqunywa ukungena kwamahhashi ngaphandle kokuwanikeza indawo eyanele njengokushaya ihhashi ngesinqe njengoba kuhamba . ”

Umbazi wesaba ukuthi isimo sezinto sizoba sibi kakhulu ngoba ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus luyadamba nabantu abengeziwe baya e-Acadia.

“Angazi ukuthi iyiphi impendulo enhle kakhulu. Ukukhathazeka kwami ​​okulandelayo yr lapho kungekho bhubhane olwenzekayo futhi simatasa kakhulu ukuthi kuzoba nokuminyana okuningi emigwaqweni yezinqola nazo zonke izinto, kanye nama-motors manje. Ngeke kwanelise kubantu abaningi. Angidingi ukushayela amahhashi ami kuyo. Kuzoba yindaba yesikhathi ngaphambi kwesikhathi kunokuba kube khona ingozi embi, ”kusho yena. “Abambalwa abaholi bami baphinde bafika lapha ngosuku olulandelayo, kunesikhashana phakathi (kwezitebele) neJordani Pond, kufana nokunwebeka okungamamayela ayi-1.3, kanti omunye wabesifazane abaningi uthe uvele wabona amabhayisikili ayi-100 e-moto kuwo. ”

Ngokunembile ukuthi izivakashi ezingakanani zamabhayisikili zikhuphule kanjani le yr ngenxa yokwengezwa kwe-e moto bike akwaziwa, kusho u-Anastasia. Ukuze ipaki izame ukuphoqelela zonke izivakashi zesiza emigwaqweni yezinqola kuyinkinga engacabangeki kuleli zinga. Hhayi kuphela ukuthi kukhona amamayela angama-45 emigwaqo, kepha kunezici eziyishumi nambili ezihluke ngokuphelele zokungena nokuphuma, uchaze kanjalo. Ngenkathi ipaki ngaphambili lalisizwa wuhlelo oluthumela amavolontiya emigwaqweni yamakalishi ukubheka izivakashi zesiza, kwamiswa lokhu ngonyaka ngenxa ye-Covid-19.

Abasebenza epaki abasebenza epaki, okwamanje, bavame ukusebenza ezindaweni eziminyene eceleni komgwaqo wasepaki, kusho u-Anastasia, kufaka phakathi lokho, "Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi bangabhala amathikithi amaningi, kodwa-ke kumele babekhona ukuzama lokhu. ”

Ngemuva kwesiyalelo sikaBernhardt esiya ePark Service, kwaphakanyiswa umbuzo wendawo ongasebenza kuyo ngebhayisikili e moto, into eyodwa uCarpenter ayikhomba ngeviki lokugcina.

“Izinga lonke lokwakhiwa kwemigwaqo yezinqola bekungukuthi kungaba khona indawo ephephile yokuhamba nokushayela amahhashi akho nokuhambahamba,” kusho yena. "Ngakho-ke kuyacasula ukuthi manje sesibona isiminyaminya esikhulu, nezingozi ezingase zibe khona kanye nezinto esingeke sakwazi ukuzilawula."

INationalwide Parks Traveler iyiqembu labezindaba elingenzi nzuzo elingu-501 (c) (3) elincike kakhulu kusizo lwabafundi nabalaleli balo. Sicela unikele ngokushesha ukusisiza ukukhuphula ukuvikelwa kwethu kwamapaki ezweni lonke nezindawo ezigadiwe.
