ibhayisikili
Ngemuva kweminyaka yentuthuko, uHarley-Davidson ugcine ebuyise ikhethini kuhla lwayo lwamabhayisikili kagesi.
Ukuvuselelwa okusheshayo kwalabo abaphuthelwe isimemezelo sokuqala: I-serial 1 yinkampani ezimele yamabhayisikili kagesi aphuma eHarley-Davidson ngo-Okthoba owedlule. Ekuqaleni, uSerial 1 uzothengisa amabhayisikili amane, kusuka ngentengo kusuka ku- $ 3,399 kuye ku- $ 4,999. Amagama omkhiqizo yiMosh / Cty, ibhayisikili ledolobha, neRuter / Cty yabagibeli, eza ngezinhlobo ezintathu (ezijwayelekile, iStep-Thru, neSpeed). Ngayinye iza nemoto yedrayivu emaphakathi ekwazi ukukhiqiza amandla angama-250W amandla aqhubekayo nokushaya isivinini esiphezulu se-20mph - ngaphandle kweRush / Cty Speed, engahamba ngokushesha.
Ngiyavuma, benginokungabaza okuncane ukuthi uHarley-Davidson angakususa lokhu. Uma uzwa ngezinkampani ezisebenza ngokukhethekile ezimotweni zezinjini zomlilo ezikhipha amabhayisikili azo kagesi, isikhathi esiningi, kumane kuyisivumelwano selayisense yomkhiqizo. (Cabanga nge-e-bike kaJeep noma lawo mabhayisikili akwaHummer kusukela eminyakeni eyishumi eyedlule.) Ngezinye izikhathi, kuyiprojekthi enezingqinamba eziningi ezigcina ziba yisisulu samabutho amakhulu ezinkampani, njengamabhayisikili eGeneral Motors 'Ariv e.
Kepha lokhu akusikho lokho. Lawa ngamabhayisikili e-e aklanywe futhi ahlelwa iqembu labazinikele labathandi bamabhayisikili ngaphakathi kwe-skunkworks yokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo kaHarley-Davidson. Futhi lokho kuzinikela nobungcweti kuyakhanya emikhiqizweni yokugcina.
Kalula nje, lawa ngamabhayisikili amahle, anomklamo ohlanzekile odonsa yonke intambo ngaphakathi kohlaka. Imoto yangaphakathi ye-Brose Mag S engashayeki ibinamandla futhi ithule ngokuthula. Kokubili imoto nebhethri kutholakala phansi kakhulu kubhayisikili, kuncane kakhulu kunokujwayelekile. Ngokusho komphathi womkhiqizo weSerial 1 u-Aaron Frank, lokhu kudala isikhungo samandla adonsela phansi esithe xaxa, esenza ngcono ukuphathwa nokufakwa ekhoneni.
"UHarley-Davidson wazi okungaphezulu noma okungaphezu kwanoma ngubani mayelana nokuklama nokwenza ubunjiniyela bemoto enamasondo amabili ephatha kahle, ephendula ngokwemvelo," kusho uFrank kimi. "Futhi zonke lezo zifundo - kusuka ekuklanyweni kwezithuthuthu ezimayelana nobuningi be-mass, i-geometry engaguquguquki, mayelana nokuphathwa kokuhamba - zisetshenzisiwe kule moto, esigabeni sokuklanywa nasesigabeni sokuhlolwa."
Ngenze ukuhlolwa kwami okuningi ngeRush / Cty Speed, okuwukuphela kwebhayisikili leClass 3 kulayini. Lokho bekusho isivinini esikhulu se-28 mph, ebesingishiya kaningi ngishiya iqembu levidiyo iThe Verge othulini. (Uxolo, u-Becca no-Alix!) Ngenxa ye-Enviolo automatic gear shifter, ukufika kulelo jubane eliphezulu bekuzizwa kunzima. Angizange ngibone ukuthi ngangihamba ngokushesha okungakanani ngaphambi kokubuka isibuko esisezingeni eliphansi seBrose digital. (Ngikuthande kakhulu ukubonisa okuncane kwe-Brose; abenzi be-drivetrain abaningi bakhetha izibonisi ezinkulu ezingadingekile. Okuncane kakhulu, ngombono wami.)
Ngibe namabhayisikili kuphela amahora ambalwa, kepha kwaba isipiliyoni sami sokuqala nge-CVT (okuqhubekayo kokudlulisa okuguqukayo) okuguqukayo. Ukudluliswa kwehabhu langemuva kwe-Enviolo kufakwe ngokuphelele, kufakwa amandla kagesi, futhi akudingeki kulondolozwe. Usebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza oluxhuma kubhayisikili nge-Bluetooth, ungasetha i-cadence yakho ekahle ukuze ibhayisikili lihlale lizwa sengathi likugiya elifanele.
Angitholanga thuba le-futz ngamasethingi, okwakuyibhomu kancane ngoba kunezikhathi lapho ngangizizwa sengathi ngiphotha imilenze yami njengephini. Ukunikezwa isikhathi esithe xaxa ngebhayisikili, bengizothanda ukudlala ngokuzungeza naleso sici kakhudlwana futhi ngithole ukulungiselelwa kwesitayela sami sokuhamba.
IMosh / Cty neRush / Cty Step-Thru iza namaphakethe webhethri angama-529Wh, kanti iRush / Cty neRush / Cty Speed iza namaphakethe angama-706Wh anamandla kakhulu. Ithimba elifanayo elenze amabhethri ezithuthuthu zika-Harley-Davidson ezisebenza ngogesi i-LiveWire nawo athuthukise la mabhethri. Amabhethri ahlanganisiwe abekwe phansi kakhulu ohlakeni, okusiza ngobuningi be-centralization nokuphathwa okuthuthukile.
OKUNYE KWEZINTO EZANGIMANGALISA NGOKWENZEKA UKUTHI AMABHAYISIKU ASETSHENZISWE KAHLE KANJANI ENDLELENI
Amathayi yiSchwalbe Super Moto-X, futhi afika ngosayizi ababili: 27.5 x 2.4-inch no 27.5 x 2.8-inch. Kepha okunye okuhle kakhulu kwebhayisikili isikhala sokugcina esakhelwe ngaphakathi esingama-cubic-centimeter ayi-620 phansi kwe-downtube, okufanele kube nendawo eyanele yokugcina ingidi yokugoqa i-Abus. Cabanga ngakho njengeglavu lebhayisikili lakho.
Kepha khohlwa konke lokho ngomzuzu: ingabe abiza u- $ 3,000 kuya ku- $ 5,000? Lowo ngumbuzo wangempela. Kunenqwaba yama-e-bikes - amahle impela, futhi - angatholwa ngemali eshibhile. Futhi lawo mabhayisikili awafiki nayo yonke imithwalo yokuba negama lika-Harley-Davidson ku-chainstay.
I-serial 1 ngeke incintisane nama-e-bikes wesabelomali avela kwa-Swagtron noma ama-Lectric noma ama-e-bikes abiza ngentengo aphansi avela kwaRad Power Bikes, VanMoof, noma Blix. Kunalokho, inkampani ihlose ukukhiqiza abakhiqizi abakhulu abanjengoGiant, Trek, no Specialised, abathengisa ama-e-bikes e-premium kumakhasimende aphezulu.
Amabhayisikili aqhamuka kulezo zinkampani adlala izingxenye ezifanayo abiza cishe ngokufana namabhayisikili weSerial 1. Uma u-Harley-Davidson efuna ukuthatha isigqoko sokuzivikela kulaba bakhiqizi abakhulu, inegama lokuqashelwa kanye nenhloko yamasiko yokwenza lokho.
Angikwazi ukuphawula ngesikhathi sokushaja se-serial 1 noma izilinganiso zebanga, njengoba bengingenaso isikhathi esanele ngamabhayisikili ukuya emikhawulweni edingekayo. Ngokuya ngezinga lamandla, iMosh / Cty kufanele ithole ibanga elingamamayela angama-35-105, kuyilapho izinhlobonhlobo zeRush / Cty ngayinye ithola amamayela angaba ngu-25-115 ebangeni. Lokho ngukungafani okuhle kakhulu, kepha okuningi kuzoncika ekutheni usebenzisa liphi izinga lamandla. Izinga eliphakeme, ibanga elincane ongalindela.
Enye yezinto engimangaze kakhulu ukuthi amabhayisekili aphatheke kahle kanjani emgwaqeni, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa iSerial 1 ukuwakhangisa (ikakhulukazi iMosh / Cty) "njengebhayisikili lokugcina elisemadolobheni." Kuyavunywa, lokhu kusekelwe emizuzwini embalwa nje egibela phezu kwezimpande zezihlahla namaqabunga amanzi eProspect Park, kepha iRush / Cty Speed yayinamandla futhi iphathwa kangcono kunokulindelekile. Lokho kusho, angilindeli ukuthi ngizoqhamuka ngamasondo nganoma yisiphi isikhathi kungekudala njengomlingisi kwividiyo ye-Promo 1 ekhiqizwe - okungenani hhayi ngaso leso sikhathi.
Ukuthengiswa kwamabhayisikili kagesi e-US bekuqhuma selokhu kuqale ubhadane lwe-COVID-19, yize iningi lama-e-bikes lingeniswa phesheya kwezilwandle. Ngaphandle kokuthi uHarley wenza amabhayisikili kagesi, i-MW yenza amabhayisikili kagesi nezithuthuthu, abakwa-Audi bakhiqiza amabhayisikili asezintabeni kagesi, abakwaMercedes-Benz bethule isithuthuthu sikagesi, abakwaFord bathole i-e-scooter startup Spin, kanti iJeep isanda kwethula ibhayisikili lezintaba zikagesi elinamandla amakhulu.
