Unganaki, okwesibili, ukudweba kokuhamba kwemakethe ekhulayo ye-e-bike. Ngokwengeziwe shalazela ilukuluku elikhulayo kuma-e-bikes njengokukhetha ibhayisikili lezintaba ukusiza abagibeli ukuthi bakhuphuke intaba ngokushesha ukuze babavumele badlule phansi ngokujwayelekile. Ngenkathi wonke amabhayisikili enesibili ku-2020 nama-e-bikes ngaphezulu kunekilasi ngalinye, ongoti babona ukwamukelwa okuyinhloko endaweni ngoba i-e-bike yesitimela. Impela, lolo hlelo lokusiza ngezinyawo lucindezela abantu ukuthi basebenze isikhathi eside.

“Amabhayisikili e-E enza izinto ezithokozisayo nezingenacala,” kusho u-Ian Kenny, oyisikhulu sezokukhangisa nokukhangisa esikhethekile futhi owayengumphathi wohlelo lukaTeslaTSLA. “Ngokuvamile, abantu abakhubeka i-e-bike bathola isitimela esithe xaxa, bashayela okwengeziwe kaningi futhi beya kude. Ukuze ushayele abagibeli abasha sha, ama-e-bikes anomthelela ongacabangeki wokukushiya nombono owakhayo wohambo lwakho ngokushesha. ”

Yilokho okwenzeka kulo lonke ibhodi ngalezi zimfashini ezisiza imishini esebenzisa ama-motors kagesi ukuhlinzeka abagibeli ngokungezelela okungafika kumamayela angama-20 ngehora lapho beshayela. “Akungabazeki ukuthi sibona abantu bethola i-e-bike yesitimela,” kusho u-Isabelle Portilla, iphini likasihlalo we-REI Co-op Manufacturers division of technology and design, “futhi ukuhlaziywa kusiza lokhu. Kithina esinama-e-bikes sithambekele ekukhubekeni ngokwengeziwe futhi noma kunjalo sithola ukukhokhiswa kwenhliziyo kwabo. ”

UMorgan Lommele, umqondisi wombuso nabakwaPeopleForBikes, uthi ubona ukukhuphuka kwabantu abashayela ama-e-bikes, kusukela ekukhuleni okubhalwe kahle kwabantu abafisa ukuya emsebenzini, kepha ngaphezu kwesitimela. Uthi noma yiminyaka embalwa edlule abantu ababephendukela ku-e-bike kwakungenzeka labo ababenqatshelwe ukushayela kahle noma izingozi. Ngenkathi laba bethu nakanjani behamba, inani labantu liqhubekile nokuthuthuka.

Imijikelezo entsha sha ye-REI Co-op eCTY 2.1 ne-eCTY 2.2 idlulisa ama-e-bikes kwimodeli yesikhathi sokuqala.

"Abantu abahlale befuna ubuchwepheshe bangempela bokukhuthazela, kepha badinga amandla okuba bengaphandle baphinde benze kabusha," kusho uLommele. "Nginomuzwa wokuthi le ndlela izokhula futhi abantu abashayela manje bazokhubeka kamuva empilweni."

Imininingwane evela eqenjini le-NPD ikhombisa ukuthi ukuthengiswa okuphelele konyaka kwe-e-bike sekukhule ngo-142%, kwadlula izigidi ezingama- $ 330 futhi kudlula ukuthuthukiswa kwesabelo kokuthengiswa okuthe xaxa kwebhayisikili. Iholwa ngabenzi abaphambili i-Specialised and Trek, kanye nomugqa we-Trek's Electra, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-e-bike kudala ubulungiswa kuwo wonke umdlalo.

"Ekukhulumeni nabakhiqizi nabathengisi be-e-bike ngamunye, kukhulunywa kakhulu ngamaqembu amabili abathengi," kusho uDirk Sorenson, imisebenzi yezemidlalo yeNPD Group elandela umqondisi kahulumeni nomhlaziyi wamabhizinisi. “Abagibeli asebekhulile babonakala bezijabulisa ngama-e-bikes njengoba behlisa imicabango yabo ngezingqinamba ezingaba khona ezihlobene nokushayela amabhayisikili. Amaphuzu afana namagquma amakhulu noma ukukhishwa nje ancishiswa nge-e-bike. Yileli qembu elidale ukukhula okuqinile kokuqala ngaphakathi kwekilasi. Manje, ama-e-bikes acatshangwa yiqembu elibanzi labathengi. Leli qembu labathengi be-e-bike empeleni ngumthengi ojwayelekile webhayisikili. Bavuma usizo lwe-e-bike njengendlela yokusebenza emnandi esithuthuthwini futhi banquma ukuthuthukisa ukuthenga kwabo esithuthuthu ngalolu lwazi. Leli qembu elisha empeleni lidudule intuthuko kuma-e-bikes okungenzeka ukuthi athinta kakhulu ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ezintabeni, ukushayela umgwaqo omkhulu kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho okuhlukile kokushayela amabhayisikili. ”

Futhi yingakho sibona izinhlobonhlobo ezikhulayo laphaya. Ama-e-bikes aqondiswe ezokuthutha ngaso sonke isikhathi azoba yingxenye ye-equation, noma kunjalo ukuhamba ngebhayisikili entabeni, ukushayela amatshe, ukushayela izindlela nezitimela sekugxile kakhulu. "Njengoba le miklamo ethile iguquka ibe yinhle ngokwengeziwe," kusho uSorenson, "ngithemba ukuthi ukuthengiswa okuphelele kwe-e-bike kuzoqhubeka ukufeza umfutho laphaya."

Kuze kube sekugcineni, ama-Co-op Cycles ngo-Septhemba wethule imodeli yokuqala ye-e-bike i-CTY e2.1 ne-CTY e2.2. Lokhu kukhethwa okusha kwe-e-bike kusuka kumodeli yasekhaya ye-REI kuvula ukukhetha onguthelawayeka nezindlela, kuvumela abantu ukuthi bahambe noma ngabe umzimba wabo awukuvumeli ukuhamba ngebhayisikili okwejwayelekile futhi kuqinisekisa ukuthi abantu bangakwazi ukondla nabangane bomshado noma abalingani abanele. "Kumijikelezo ye-Co-op sakha amabhayisikili wabantu kanye nokwazi nge-e-bike okuvumela abantu abengeziwe ukuthi baphume ngamasondo amabili, beya ngokungeziwe, bephethe okwengeziwe noma bezijabulisa nje ngokuthokozisa kohambo ohambweni lwabo," uPortilla uthi. “Siyathanda ukuthi abantu kuyo yonke iminyaka yobudala namakhono banentshiseko ngama-e-bikes futhi kungenxa yokuthi ama-e-bikes avele ajabulise nje ukukhubeka. La mabhayisikili angasiza ekuqhubekiseni uhambo lokuhamba, ahlele indlela enwetshiwe noma asinikeze amakhono ahlukahlukene okuhamba sonke. ”

Ama-e-bike ama-REI Co-op amasha sha aqinisa ulayini we-CTY wemodeli ngenketho ephumelelayo yendlela.

Ngaphakathi kolayini we-Co-op Cycles CTY, imodeli ye-REI ibambisene noShimano wemoto nebhethri futhi yafaka i-rack eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, ukumiswa kokungena namalambu akhelwe ngaphakathi. UPortilla uthi ulindele ukuqhubeka nokuguqula umgwaqo ngokuyinhloko ngokususelwa kokuzwana nomakhelwane. “Ukuthola ukuthi ama-e-bikes ayafana yini kulayini we-Co-op Cycles, siqale sahlangana nenqwaba yamalungu ethu kanye nabasebenzi ngemibono yabo ngama-e-bikes, ngaphezu kwalokhu abathembele kukho okufanele bangene kukho i-e-bike, ”usho kanje. "Iziphakamiso eziningi lapho-ke sezakhelwe ngaphakathi emkhakheni wethu wokuklama."

Njengoba izifundazwe eziningi zinemihlahlandlela yezomthetho echaza ama-e-bikes njengamabhayisikili, ikwenza kube lula kumakhasimende ukwazi indawo azokhubeka kuyo futhi kuzokwandisa ukwamukelwa. Futhi njengoba ibhethri nemoto iqhubeka nokuthuthuka nokwakheka ngaphakathi ngaphandle komthungo ebhayisikilini okuningi akuhlukeki njengama-e-bikes, uLommele ubona intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe “esheshayo necacile”.

USorenson uthi ngezindawo zokuzivocavoca umzimba kanye nokuba yimishini yegalufu evaliwe izinyanga eziningi ezindaweni eziningi, amakhasimende abengathanda kakhulu ukusebenzisa imali ngamabhayisikili anentengo ephezulu, asebenza njengokuzikhethela kwezempilo.

Ukuxubana kokusebenzisa kuzoqhubeka kuphela, kudlulele kokunye kwezokungcebeleka, kusho uLommele. "Ngonyaka ngamunye imfashini entsha iphuma ngamakhono amasha," usho njalo. "Ungathola nje kude kunanoma yiliphi ibhayisikili, uphume uhambe usuku lonke futhi ungenza okunye futhi ubone okwengeziwe ngesithuthuthu futhi ungalokothi wethuke ngokuhlukahluka nangempilo yebhethri ngenxa yolwazi oluguquka minyaka yonke."
