I te mea ka nui haere, ka taumaha haere ngā motuka i ngā rori o Amerika i ia tau, kāore pea e ranea te hiko anake. Hei whakakore i ngā taraka nunui me ngā SUV i roto i ō tātou tāone mā te whakatairanga i ngā waka hiko utu tika me te whai hua, e whakapono ana te kamupene tīmatanga hou o New York, a Wink Motors, kei a rātou te whakautu.
I hangaia ēnei i raro i ngā ture a te National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ā-motu, ā, nō reira he ture i raro i ngā ture waka tere iti (LSV).
Ko ngā waka hiko iti nei, he waka hiko iti e tutuki ana i tētahi huinga ture haumaru kua whakangāwaritia, ā, ka tere te tere o te 25 maero ia hāora (40 km/h). He ture ēnei waka i runga i ngā rori o Amerika me ngā herenga tere tae atu ki te 35 maero ia hāora (56 km/h).
I hangaia ēnei waka hei waka tāone iti tino pai. He iti noa iho hei waka ngāwari ki te tū ki ngā wāhi kuiti pēnei i ngā pahikara hiko, ngā motopaika rānei, engari he nohoanga kua kati katoa mō ngā pakeke tokowhā, ā, ka taea te taraiwa i te ua, te hukarere, te rangi kino rānei pērā i te waka rahi. Nā te mea he hiko, kāore koe e utu mō te penehīni, e whakaputa rānei i ngā tukunga kino. Ka taea hoki e koe te utu i a rātou mai i te rā mā te whakamahi i ngā panera rā o te tuanui.
Ina hoki, i roto i te tau me te haurua kua hipa, he waimarie ki ahau te mātakitaki i te tipu o Wink Motors i roto i te aratau huna mā te whakarato tohutohu hangarau mō te hoahoa waka.
Nā te iti o ngā tere ka haumaru ake, ka whai hua ake hoki, he mea tino pai mō te taraiwa i ngā tāone nui e kīkī ana i ngā waka, ā, kāore e nui ake ngā tere i te rohe LSV. I Manhattan, e kore rawa koe e eke ki te 25 maero ia hāora!
E whā ngā tauira waka a Wink, e rua o ēnei he panera rā kei runga i te tuanui ka taea te whakanui ake i te tawhiti mā te 10-15 maero (16-25 kiromita) ia rā ina tū ki waho.
E whā ngā nohoanga o ngā waka katoa, he hauhautanga me te whakamahana, he kāmera tirohanga whakamuri, he pūoko waka, he whitiki nohoanga e toru ngā ira, he pēki kōpae waipēhi takirua-ara, he mīhini kaha 7 kW, he matū pākahiko LiFePO4 haumaru ake, he raka matapihi me ngā tatau hiko, he kī matua, he raka mamao, he horoi me te maha atu o ngā āhuatanga e hono ana ki ā tātou waka.
Engari ehara i te mea he "motuka" tūturu, i te iti rawa ehara i te mea ture. He motuka ēnei, engari he whakarōpūtanga motuhake a LSV mai i ngā motuka noa.
Ko te nuinga o ngā kawanatanga e hiahia tonu ana ki ngā raihana taraiwa me te inihua, engari he maha ngā wā ka whakangawarihia e rātou ngā whakaritenga tirotiro, ā, ka taea pea te whiwhi whiwhinga taake a te kawanatanga.
Kāore anō kia tino kitea ngā LSV, engari kei te hangaia kētia e ētahi kamupene ngā tauira whakamere. Kua kite tātou i a rātou e hangaia ana mō ngā mahi pakihi pēnei i te tuku mōkihi, tae atu ki ngā mahi pakihi me ngā mahi tūmataiti pēnei i a Polaris GEM, i wehea tata nei hei kamupene motuhake. Kāore i rite ki te GEM, he waka rite ki te kāreti korowha tuwhera, he mea kati te motuka a Wink pērā i te motuka tuku iho. Ā, he iti iho i te haurua te utu e hokona mai ana.
E matapaetia ana e Wink ka tīmata te tuku i ana waka tuatahi i mua i te mutunga o te tau. Ko ngā utu tīmatanga mō te wā whakarewatanga o nāianei ka tīmata i te $8,995 mō te tauira Sprout 40-maero (64 km) ka piki ki te $11,995 mō te tauira Mark 2 Solar 60-maero (96 km). He tika te āhua o tēnei ina whakaarohia he $9,000 ki te $10,000 te utu mō te kāreti korowha hou. Kāore au i te mōhio ki tētahi waka korowha he hauhautanga, he matapihi hiko rānei.
O ngā Wink NEV hou e whā, ko te raupapa Sprout te tauira taumata-whakauru. He tauira tatau-rua te Sprout me te Sprout Solar, ā, he rite tonu i roto i ngā āhuatanga maha, engari ko te pākahiko nui ake me ngā panera rā o te tauira Sprout Solar.
Mō te Mark 1, ka rerekē te momo tinana, e rua ngā tatau, engari he hatchback me te nohoanga whakamuri e taea te takai hei huri i te nohoanga-whā ki te nohoanga-rua me te wāhi utanga tāpiri.
He rite te tinana o te Mark 2 Solar ki te Mark 1 engari e whā ngā tatau me tētahi atu papa rā. He rihi kei roto i te Mark 2 Solar, engari kei ngā tauira Sprout he rihi o waho pērā i ngā pahikara hiko.
Ki te whakaritea ki ngā waka rahi-katoa, kāore i te tere ake ēnei waka hiko hou mō te haere tawhiti. Kāore he tangata e tere haere ki te huarahi tere i roto i te kimo o te kanohi. Engari hei waka tuarua mō te noho ki te tāone nui, mō te haereere rānei i ngā tāone iti, tera pea he pai. I te mea he ngāwari te utu mō tētahi waka hiko hou i waenga i te $30,000 me te $40,000, ka taea e tētahi waka hiko iti te utu pēnei i tēnei te tuku i ngā painga ōrite me te kore utu tāpiri.
E kiia ana ka tāpirihia e te putanga rā te hauwhā me te hautoru o te pākahiko ia rā, i runga i te hihi o te rā e wātea ana.
Mō te hunga noho tāone e noho ana i ngā whare noho, e tū ana i te tiriti, kāore pea e monohia te hiko o ngā waka mēnā e 10-15 maero (16-25 kiromita) te tere i te rā. I te mea he 10 kiromita te whānui o tōku tāone, e kite ana ahau i tēnei hei whai wāhitanga tūturu.
He rerekē te taumaha o ngā waka hiko o ēnei rā i waenga i te 3500 me te 8000 pauna (1500 ki te 3600 kg), ko ngā waka Wink kei waenga i te 760 me te 1150 pauna (340 ki te 520 kg), i runga i te tauira. Nō reira, he pai ake te mahi a ngā waka pāhihi, he māmā ake te taraiwa me te ngāwari ake te tūnga.
Ahakoa he wāhanga iti noa iho o te mākete waka hiko whānui ngā LSV, kei te piki haere tonu tō rātou maha ki ngā wāhi katoa, mai i ngā tāone nui ki ngā tāone takutai moana, tae noa ki ngā hapori reti.
Nō nā tata nei au i hoko mai ai i tētahi pikapu LSV, ahakoa he ture kore tāku nā te mea ka kawemaihia mai e au i Haina. Ko te utu mō te taraka hiko iti i hokona tuatahitia ki Haina he $2,000, engari tata ki te $8,000 te utu mō ngā whakapainga pēnei i ngā pākahiko nui ake, te hauhautanga, me ngā mata waipēhi, te utu tuku (neke atu i te $3,000 te utu tuku mai i te tatau ki te tatau) me ngā taripa/utu ritenga.
I whakamārama a Dweck, ahakoa i hangaia hoki ngā waka Wink ki Haina, i hanga e Wink tētahi wheketere kua rēhitatia ki te NHTSA, ā, i mahi tahi me te Tari Waka o Amerika puta noa i te tukanga kia tutuki katoa ai ngā whakaritenga. Ka whakamahia hoki e rātou ngā tirotiro maha-wāhanga hei whakarite i te kounga o te hanga e hipa ana i ngā whakaritenga haumaru ā-motu mō ngā LSV.
Ko tāku nei, he pai ake ki ahau ngā waka wira-rua, ā, i te nuinga o te wā ka taea e koe te tūtaki ki ahau i runga i te pahikara hiko, i te kuta hiko rānei.
Kāore pea i te rite te ataahua o ētahi hua Pākehā pērā i a Microlino. Engari, ehara i te mea kāore i te ātaahua!
He tangata e aroha ana ki ngā waka hiko whaiaro a Micah Toll, he tangata e aroha ana ki ngā pākahiko, ā, ko ia te kaituhi o ngā pukapuka #1 e hokona ana e Amazon, arā, ko ngā DIY Lithium Batteries, DIY Solar Energy, The Complete DIY Electric Bicycle Guide, me The Electric Bicycle Manifesto.
Ko ngā pahikara hiko e whakamahia ana e Mika i ia rā ko te Lectric XP 2.0 $999, te Ride1Up Roadster V2 $1,095, te Rad Power Bikes RadMission $1,199, me te Priority Current $3,299. Engari i ēnei rā, he rārangi e huri haere tonu ana.
