Isikuta sikagesi se-Stator, enye yemiklamo yesithuthuthu emi ehlekisa kakhulu esake sayibona, isizomakethwa ekugcineni.
Ngokusekelwe kumazwana engawathola lapho ngiqala ukubika isibonelo sesithuthuthu sikagesi se-Stator esikhathini esingangonyaka odlule, kunesidingo esibucayi sokuvala isithuthuthu esinjalo.
Umklamo oyingqayizivele wamasondo amakhulu, amasondo anohlangothi olulodwa, kanye nezici zokuzilinganisa (noma ngokunembile, "ukuziphilisa") kuye kwathandwa kubathengi.
Kodwa ngisho nesidingo esikhulu seStator, kwathatha isikhathi eside ukuyithola emakethe.
Umqondo wesikuta wathuthukiswa ngu-Nathan Allen, umqondisi womklamo wezimboni e-Art Center College of Design e-Pasadena, eCalifornia.
Kusukela lapho, lo mklamo udonse ukunaka kukasomabhizinisi kanye nomtshali-zimali uDkt. Patrick Soon-Shiong, umsunguli nosihlalo we-NantWorks. Ngaphansi kobuholi benkampani yakhe entsha ye-NantMobility, u-Sun-Shiong usize ukuletha isikuta sikagesi se-Stator emakethe.
Ngomklamo waso oyingqayizivele, isikuta sikagesi se-Stator sihlukile nakanjani emakethe. Isiteringi sinohlangothi olulodwa futhi siphuma ne-rotary throttle, ibrake lever, horn button, i-LED battery indicator, on/off button kanye nelokhi.
Zonke izintambo zihanjiswa ngaphakathi kwesibambo kanye nesiqu ukuze kubukeke kahle.
Isikuta silinganiselwe ngesivinini esiphezulu esingu-30 mph (51 km/h) futhi sinebhethri elingu-1 kWh. Le nkampani ithi inebanga elingafika kumamayela angu-80 (amakhilomitha angu-129), kodwa ngaphandle uma uhamba kancane kunesikuta esiqashisayo, lokho kuyiphupho lamapayipi. Uma kuqhathaniswa, ezinye izikuta zamandla afanayo kodwa ezinomthamo webhethri ongu-50% ngaphezulu zinebanga elisebenzayo lamamayela angu-50-60 (80-96 km).
Izithuthuthu ze-Stator zisebenza ngogesi futhi zithule, zivumela abagibeli ukuthi bahambe phakathi kwethrafikhi yedolobha esikhathini esingaphezudlwana kwehora ngemva kokushajwa kwebhethri. Lokhu kumelela inqubekelaphambili ebalulekile ekunyakazeni okuncane, ngokuphambene kakhulu nezikuta zamandla kaphethiloli onomsindo okwamanje ezivala imigwaqo nemigwaqo emadolobheni ezweni lonke. Ijubane nokunethezeka kwe-Stator kudlulela ngale kohambo oluqinile, olunensayo olutholakala kuzikuta zanamuhla ezinamasondo ezincane.
Ngokungafani nezithuthuthu eziqashiswayo ezijwayelekile zekhwalithi ephansi, iStator iqinile futhi iyatholakala uma uyithenga. Wonke umnikazi uzofunda ekugibeleni kokuqala ukuthi kungani i-NantMobility iziqhenya nge-Stator futhi yabelane ngayo ngokuziqhenya ngobunikazi bayo.
Isikuta esingu-90 lb (41 kg) sine-wheelbase engu-50 inch (1.27 imitha) futhi sisebenzisa amathayi angu-18 x 17.8-10. Uyawabona lawo ma-fan blades akhelwe emasondweni? Kufanele basize ukupholisa injini.
Uma ucabanga ukuthola esakho isikuta sikagesi se-Stator, ngethemba ukuthi usuyonga kakade.
I-stator ithengisa ngo-$3,995, nakuba ungakwazi uku-oda kusengaphambili ngama- $250. Vele uzame ukungacabangi ukuthi leyo diphozithi efanayo engu-$250 ingakutholela kanjani isikuta sikagesi esigcwele sase-Amazon.
Ukuze wenze isivumelwano sibe mnandi futhi wengeze okukhethekile kusikuta, i-NantWorks ithi izigxivizo zokuqala eziyi-1,000 ze-Launch Edition zizofika namapuleti ensimbi enziwe ngokwezifiso, anezinombolo futhi asayinwe ithimba labaklami. Ukulethwa kulindeleke “ekuqaleni kuka-2020”.
Umgomo we-NantWorks uwukuhlanganisa ukuzibophezela okuhlangene kwesayensi, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokuxhumana nokwenza kufinyeleleke kuwo wonke umuntu. I-Stator Scooter iwukusetshenziswa ngokomzimba kwaleyo njongo - ukunyakaza okunomusa okusebenzela inhloso yokusebenza.
Kodwa $4,000? Lokhu kuzoba umsebenzi onzima kimi, ikakhulukazi uma ngikwazi ukuthenga isikuta sikagesi esihlala u-44 mph (70 km/h) kwa-NIU futhi ngithole amabhethri angaphezu kokuphindwe kabili ngaleyo ntengo.
Lapho ngingena, ngajabula ukubona ukuthi i-NantMobility inikeze isikuta sikagesi se-Stator ngesivinini esingokoqobo esimaphakathi esingaba ngu-20 mph. Ibhayisikili le-elekthronikhi elinomzimba odonsa umoya kanye nebhethri elinosayizi ofanayo lizohamba cishe amakhilomitha angu-64 ngaleso sivinini futhi nakanjani liyoba namandla okugoqa kancane kunesikuta esinjalo. Ibanga le-Stator elifunwayo lamakhilomitha angu-80 (amakhilomitha angu-129) cishe lingenzeka, kodwa kuphela ngesivinini esingaphansi kwejubane layo eliphezulu lokuhamba ngomkhumbi.
Kodwa uma i-stator inamandla ngempela njengoba besho futhi igibela, khona-ke ngibona abantu bechitha imali ngesikuta esinjalo. Kungumkhiqizo ophambili, kodwa izindawo ezifana neSilicon Valley zigcwele abantu abasha abacebile abafuna ukuba ngabokuqala ukuthola umkhiqizo omusha osemfashinini.
UMika Toll ungumthandi wemoto kagesi womuntu siqu, isithandi sebhethri, kanye nombhali ongu-#1 we-Amazon othengisa kakhulu we-DIY Lithium Batteries, DIY Solar Powered, The Complete DIY Electric Bicycle Guide, kanye ne-The Electric Bicycle Manifesto.
Amabhayisikili e-e amanje kaMika amanje ahlanganisa i-$999 Lectric XP 2.0, $1,095 Ride1Up Roadster V2, $1,199 Rad Power Bikes RadMission, kanye ne-$3,299 Priority Current. Kodwa kulezi zinsuku kuwuhlu olushintsha njalo.
