Leli sondo elikabili lenza ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ezintabeni kufinyeleleke kuwo wonke umuntu.
Umkhiqizi wamaNgisi ama-Orange Bikes wethula ibhayisikili lezintaba likagesi elisha elibizwa nge-Phase AD3. Idizayinelwe abantu abakhubazekile, kuthathe iminyaka engu-6 ukuthuthukisa.
Isisulu sokulimala kabi ekhanda ngo-2015, uchwepheshe webhayisikili lezintaba u-Lorraine Truong usakhubazeke kancane namuhla. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umpetha waseSwitzerland wayecabanga ukuthi wayengeke akwazi ukugxeka isiyalo sakhe sezemidlalo.
Ngemuva kwengozi, uTruong, ophinde abe ngunjiniyela enkampanini yaseSwitzerland ekhiqiza izimoto ezinamasondo amabili i-BMC, ubefuna ibhayisikili elifanele ukukhubazeka kwakhe. Lesi sicelo safinyelela ezindlebeni zikanjiniyela oyiNgisi u-Alex Desmond, owayesebenzela amafemu ahlonishwayo njengeJaguar Land Rover. Ngemva kokwenza ama-prototype ahlukahlukene amabhayisikili aguquguqukayo, u-Desmond wacela u-Lorraine Truong ukuthi azame eyodwa yawo. Ukuhlola okwenziwa eSwitzerland kwaphumelela kakhulu. Lapho izwa ngalokhu, i-Orange Bikes Switzerland yona, yasithumela ehhovisi elikhulu eHalifax, eNgilandi. Inkampani yaseBrithani ngokushesha yanikeza uDesmond umsebenzi ukuze akwazi ukwakha i-prototype yakhe. Unjiniyela ngokusobala wavuma. Sazalwa kanjena iSigaba AD3.
Iminyaka engu-6 yentuthuko
I-Phase AD3 iyibhayisikili lentaba/i-enduro. Amasondo ayo angaphambili angu-27,5 inch afakwe kuFox 38 fork no-170mm wokuhamba. Lezi zimfoloko ezimbili zilawulwa ngokuzimela ngohlelo olukhaliphile oluthatha iminyaka eyi-6 ukuthuthuka. Lolu hlelo, olunikezwe ilungelo lobunikazi ngu-Alex Desmond, lungashintshwa kuwo wonke amafreyimu ebhayisikili ahamba ngogesi. Iphinde ivumele amasondo ebhayisikili ukuthi ancike ku-40% uma ijika ukuze ivimbele ukuthi ingagingqiki futhi inikeze ukuzinza okuphelele.
Ehlezi esihlalweni sebhakede, u-Lorraine Truong angasebenzisa umzimba wakhe ongaphezulu ukuze agcine ibhayisikili lakhe limile. NgokukaDesmond, umpetha waseSwitzerland uyakwazi ukufica abagibeli abahamba phambili ku-World Enduro Series!
I-Phase AD3 inenjini yeParadox Kinetics ekhahlela i-torque engu-150 Nm. I-Box One transmission inamajubane angu-9. Ibhethri elinomthamo ongu-504 Wh likuvumela ukuthi wenze ukukhuphuka kobuchwepheshe okungama-700 m noma ukuhamba ngezinyawo okungu-25 km. Ngenxa yohlaka lwe-aluminium, isethi ayidluli ama-30 kg.
Ukukhiqizwa ngokufunwa
Ukukhiqizwa kwesigaba se-AD3 kuzoba ngesicelo. I-modular electric mountain bike ingenziwa ibe ngeyakho ngokwezidingo zabathengi.
Mayelana nenani layo, namanje akwaziwa. U-Alex Desmond unikeze kuphela izindleko eziphelele zezinto ezisetshenziswa ekwakhiweni kwakhe: ama-euro angama-20.
