Ma waho aʻe o ke holo ʻana i kahi paikikala holo moana uila, ka hauʻoli ʻana i ka noho lio nui, nā pou ākea a me ke kūlana noho kū pololei ʻoluʻolu, aia kekahi mea leʻaleʻa ʻē aʻe?
Inā paha, ʻaʻole au makemake e lohe, no ka mea, i kēia lā, aia mākou a pau ma ka cruiser! Ua hoʻāʻo mākou i nā huahana he nui i kēia makahiki. Ma lalo iho nei e ʻike ʻoe i kā mākou mau punahele 5 kiʻekiʻe no ke kaʻa paikikala a paipai iā lākou i ka leʻaleʻa e-bike i ke kauwela o 2020!
ʻO kēia kekahi ʻāpana o nā moʻo paikikala uila ʻelima kiʻekiʻe loa no ke kauwela 2020, a ke holo nei mākou e kōkua i ka hoʻolauna ʻana i ka poʻe heluhelu i kekahi mau paikikala uila maikaʻi loa e kōkua iā lākou e hele ma ke alanui a i ʻole ma waho o ke alanui i kēia kauwela.
Ua hoʻolauna mākou i kekahi mau māhele, akā e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomau i ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻano koho paikikala uila i nā lā e hiki mai ana:
A e ʻike pono e nānā i ke wikiō ma lalo nei, e hōʻike ana i nā paikikala holo moku uila āpau i hoʻohana ʻia ma kēia papa inoa.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, he nui nā paikikala uila cruiser nani o Electra me nā kikoʻī piha, a me Townie Go! Aia ka 7D ma ka hopena haʻahaʻa o kāna laina huahana hoʻohālike ma $1,499 wale nō. Akā ʻo kēia koʻu pono maoli.
ʻOiai inā hiki iā ʻoe ke koho i kekahi o kā lākou mau hiʻohiʻona waena waena maikaʻi aʻe, inā ʻoe e māʻona me nā mokokaikala huila, a laila ʻae ʻo Townie Go! 7D iā ʻoe e holo ma luna o ka chassis cruiser maikaʻi loa o Electra me ka ʻole o ke kumukūʻai keu o kahi mid-drive Bosch nani.
Ua lawa ka motika a maikaʻi ka hana hoʻokele, akā mai kahi mamao aku, he 309 Wh wale nō ka pila a he mea hoʻoluliluli. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoiai he paikikala uila pae 1 kēia me ke kōkua pedal me ka ʻole o ka throttle, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e palaualelo a hoʻohana pono i ka mamao, ʻo kona mamao holo ʻana ma kahi o 25-50 mile (40-80 kilomita). Pae kōkua pedal ikaika.
Ma ke ʻano he paikikala uila mahele 1, ʻo Townie Go! Loaʻa i ka 7D ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe loa he 20 mph (32 km/h), he wikiwiki loa ia no nā paikikala cruiser. He haʻahaʻa a lohi hoʻi kēia ʻano paikikala uila - ke holo nei ʻoe i kahi cruiser no ka ʻike, ʻaʻole no ka hele wikiwiki ʻana i ka hana - no laila ua lawa ka 20 mph.
ʻO ka mea e hoʻowalewale iaʻu e holo i kēia mau paikikala, ʻaʻole ia ka wikiwiki, akā, ʻo kaʻu ʻike punahele ʻo Townie Go! 7D. He paikikala holo uila mālie a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi kēia e like me kona manaʻo. ʻO ia kekahi o nā paikikala uila liʻiliʻi me nā kala he nui, ʻoiai ke manaʻolana nei au makemake ʻoe i nā pastels, no ka mea, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i nā ʻano pastels āpau.
Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e hoʻomaka i kēlā me kēia ʻanuʻu, a laila aia kekahi ʻōnaehana hoʻololi, ʻoiai he hapa nui o ka mākeke paikikala uila cruiser e loaʻa ana i ka poʻe me nā pilikia hiki ke komo, no laila ke manaʻo nei au ʻo ka komo mālie ka mea kaulana loa o lākou. Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, he paikikala uila paʻa kēia e pili ana i ka ʻike!
Inā makemake ʻoe e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia paikikala uila, paipai wau iā ʻoe e nānā i kaʻu loiloi piha a hohonu o ke paikikala uila Townie Go! 7D ma aneʻi, a i ʻole e nānā i kaʻu wikiō loiloi ma lalo nei.
ʻO ka mea aʻe, loaʻa iā mākou nā paikikala uila Buzz. Hoʻohui kēia kaʻa i ke ʻano o ke paikikala uila cruiser me ka pono o kahi paikikala ukana, me kahi hīnaʻi ukana mua paʻa loa i kūkulu ʻia i loko o kona mōlina.
Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka hapa nui o nā paikikala uila ma kēia papa inoa, ʻo ka ʻokoʻa nui o nā paikikala uila Buzz hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonui i kahi motika hoʻokele wikiwiki waena, ʻo ia hoʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoikaika i ke paikikala ma o nā kia a hoʻololi i ka wikiwiki e like me ia. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui e lawe mai ai kēia, hiki ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia i kahi kia haʻahaʻa ma nā pali haʻahaʻa, a hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ma ka ʻāina pālahalaha.
Ua kaupalena ʻia nā paikikala i ka wikiwiki o 20 mph (32 km/h), no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke pupule loa i ka wikiwiki, akā ua lawa ia e leʻaleʻa ai!
ʻO ka motika hoʻokele waena kahi motika i kamaʻāina ʻole ʻia e ka hapa nui o ka poʻe, akā no kahi hui i kapa ʻia ʻo Tongsheng ia. ʻAʻohe o lākou inoa ʻo Bosch, akā ua hana lākou i kahi motika hoʻokele waena maikaʻi loa ma ke kumu kūʻai kūpono.
ʻO ke kumukūʻai o kēia paikikala he $1,499 wale nō, a ua like ia me Townie Go! like. E hoʻomaka me 7D ma luna, akā e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi motika mid-drive me kahi sensor torque i kūkulu ʻia e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ke kōkua pedal nani a laumania. Ke hoʻohālikelike nei au iā Simultaneous me nā hoʻoili wikiwiki waena ʻē aʻe e like me Bosch, ʻo ka ʻokoʻa nui aʻu e makemake ai e ʻōlelo aku, ʻoi aku ka leo nui, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe wale iā ia ma ka wikiwiki haʻahaʻa. Ke holo ʻoe i nā wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe loa, e uhi ke kani o ka makani i ka hapa nui o ke kani wili o ka motika.
Inā makemake ʻoe e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia paikikala uila, paipai wau iā ʻoe e nānā i kaʻu loiloi piha o ke paikikala uila Buzz ma aneʻi, a i ʻole e nānā i kaʻu wikiō loiloi ma lalo nei.
Ua like kēia waʻa holo moana me kahi waʻa liʻiliʻi, akā naʻe, ʻoiai kona nui, ua like nō kona laumania a me ka ʻoluʻolu e like me ka waʻa holo moana kahakai āu e manaʻo ai.
ʻOiai ma mua o kou wehe ʻana i ka pahu, ua hoʻomaka ka ʻike kiʻekiʻe o Model C. ʻO ka hui paikikala uila kekahi o nā mea hana kakaikahi o nā paikikala i hoʻākoakoa piha ʻia. Ua hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia i ʻole e hōʻino i kekahi mea, a ʻo kāu wale nō e hana ai, ʻo ia ke hoʻohuli i ka handlebar i mua a hiki iā ʻoe ke holo.
Ua maikaʻi loa ka pahu a me ka ʻūpā ʻana, ua hoʻohana hou au iā ia i kekahi mau pule ma hope mai e kūpono i ka mokokaikala, e manaʻoʻiʻo ʻoe ʻaʻole paha (ʻae. E hōʻemi i ka hoʻohana hou ʻana!).
ʻO ke ʻano C kekahi o nā cruisers ikaika loa ma kēia papa inoa. Hoʻoluliluli ia i kahi motika hub 750W a hoʻopuka i ke au kiʻekiʻe 1250W mai kāna ʻōnaehana 48V. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho e hoʻoikaika ʻia e kahi pākahiko 550Wh a i ʻole 840Wh, a ʻo ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe loa o ka Model C he 28 mph (45 km/h).
ʻO ia hoʻi ka paleki maikaʻi loa o nā paikikala uila āpau ma kēia papa inoa, me nā paleki disc hydraulic Tektro Dorado 4-piston ma nā pistons mua a me hope. A laila, loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hīnaʻi mua maʻalahi he mea pono loa ia. A hele mai ka pākaukau me kahi mea hoʻoili uila i kūkulu ʻia a me ke kaula mana, no laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e lawe i ka mea hoʻoili uila me ʻoe. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻonui i ka maikaʻi o kēia, ʻoiai inā he mau paikikala uila kāu e like me aʻu a huikau mau i nā mea hoʻoili uila a hoʻokomo paha iā lākou i ka pilikia.
ʻO ka mea hope loa e hoʻomaopopo ai e pili ana i nā ʻoihana paikikala uila, ʻo ia ka ʻoihana ʻAmelika e hana ana i nā paikikala uila ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua kipa aku au i kā lākou hale hana ma Newport Beach a ua hālāwai me kā lākou hui. He mea kupaianaha maoli kā lākou hana, a hauʻoli nui wau i ka ʻike ʻana ua hāʻawi lākou i ka hoʻokele waiwai kūloko a ua hoʻokumu i nā ʻumi o nā hana kūloko ma ke kaiāulu.
Hiki ke wehewehe ʻia kēia ma ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe iki o $1,999, akā, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke manaʻolana nei au e ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai o nā paikikala uila i hana ʻia e ʻAmelika me kēlā wikiwiki a me ka mana kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻole e haʻi i kēlā mau ʻāpana paikikala nani. Noʻu, he mea nui kēia no kekahi mea makemake i kahi cruiser ikaika.
Inā makemake ʻoe e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia paikikala uila, paipai wau iā ʻoe e nānā i kaʻu loiloi piha a hohonu o ka Electric Bike Company Model C ma aneʻi, a i ʻole e nānā i kaʻu wikiō loiloi.
Me Schwinn EC1, pono wau e haʻi iā ʻoe i ke kumukūʻai o kēia huahana, ʻo ia hoʻi he $898. He pupule kēlā! ?
ʻAʻole ia he hale mana, ʻaʻohe mea ia, he paikikala uila 250W wale nō ia, ʻo ia hoʻi no ka holoholo ʻana ma ka ʻāina pālahalaha, ʻaʻole no ka piʻi ʻana i nā mauna nui, akā inā ʻoe e mālama iā ia i kahi kūlana maikaʻi loa, a laila e lilo ia i mea kupaianaha.
Hiki i ka motika i loko o ka huila ke hōʻike i ka mana ikaika i ka wā e holo ana ma ka ʻāina pālahalaha a hiki i nā kihi liʻiliʻi, a hāʻawi wale ke kaʻa paikikala i ke kōkua pedal, ʻo ia hoʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke noho pololei me kou mana pedal. Ma muli o kou manaʻo no ke kōkua pedal, e maikaʻi a maikaʻi ʻole paha kēia.
Ua lawa ka pākahiko 36V no kahi mamao hoʻomaha o 30 mile (48 kilomita), ʻoiai ke hoʻohui hou nei kēia i kekahi kōkua pedal no ʻoe.
Aia pū kekahi mau hana holo moku kahiko ʻē aʻe ma laila. E loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻōnaehana crossover maʻalahi e hiki ai ke komo, kahi noho ākea, nā ʻauamo lima kiʻekiʻe e kū pololei ai, akā ʻaʻohe mea hoʻonui i kekahi o nā ʻauamo lima ākea o nā holo moku koʻikoʻi, a aia kekahi mau huila nui maikaʻi. E kōkua i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i ka nele o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana.
He paikikala uila maʻalahi ʻo Schwinn EC1, ʻaʻohe mea hoʻonaninani, akā he paikikala ikaika a hana maikaʻi ʻia e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻokele ma luna o kahi kaʻa holo uila ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa. ʻAʻole ia e lanakila i nā hoʻokūkū nani a i ʻole nā ​​​​makana hoʻolālā, akā he koho maikaʻi ia no nā kaʻa holo uila hoihoi me kahi kālā palena, no laila ke kumu. Hana wale ia a hana maikaʻi.
Inā makemake ʻoe e aʻo hou e pili ana i kēia paikikala uila, paipai wau iā ʻoe e nānā i kaʻu loiloi piha a hohonu hoʻi ʻo Schwinn EC1 ma aneʻi, a i ʻole e nānā i kaʻu wikiō loiloi.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, akā ʻaʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi loa, he mau wahi like ʻole ko mākou, akā kūpono loa lākou i kou nānā. ʻO Samesona kēia mai ka Lā 6.
ʻAʻole paha ʻoe i lohe i kēia mau kānaka. ʻAuē, ʻaʻole au i lohe i kēia mau kānaka a hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia paikikala iā Mikey G a hoʻohana iā ia ma Electrek, akā he momi huna ia no ka mea ʻoiai kona ʻano ʻē, hāʻawi ia i kahi kikowaena haʻahaʻa o ke kaumaha ma mua o nā mea āpau i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka maneuverability o nā cruisers uila ʻē aʻe.
He nui loa nā koʻokoʻo a he mau mea kaulele ʻano ape lākou, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopili i ka torque ma luna o lākou a laila hoʻokiʻekiʻe iā lākou.
Hiki ke kūʻai ʻia aku ʻo Samson i nā mea holo paikikala kahiko e ʻimi nei i nā paikikala uila hiki ke maʻalahi, akā hiki iā ia ke lawe mai i nā keiki i nā mea āpau e like me ke kaʻa heihei.
ʻO kekahi o nā kumu hoihoi o kēia paikikala, ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi motika hoʻokele waena-waena ikaika loa i kapa ʻia ʻo Bafang BBSHD. Ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka motika Bafang Ultra, ʻo ia ka ʻāpana mid-drive ikaika loa o Bafang.
Ma ke ʻano loea, he ʻano motika hoʻololi ia, a ʻoiai ʻo Day6 i hana mua ai i kēia mau mōlina no nā paikikala pedal, ma ke ʻano loea, he paikikala uila nō hoʻi kēia, akā ʻo wai ka mea mālama i kona hoʻohana ʻana, mālama wau i kona ʻoiaʻiʻo i kēia manawa E hoʻohana, i kēia manawa ʻo ka motika ikaika o Samson e hoʻolilo iā ʻoe i holo kupaianaha!
Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, he mea lapuwale paha kēia paikikala, akā, inā hiki iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa nui, ʻo wai ka mea mālama i kou helehelena? E mākaukau e uku i ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe no ia mea. He paikikala kūikawā ʻo Samson, akā ʻo ia hoʻi he kumukūʻai kūikawā nō hoʻi, a hiki i $3,600. Jiaqing!
Inā makemake ʻoe e aʻo hou e pili ana i kēia paikikala uila, paipai wau iā ʻoe e nānā i ka loiloi piha o Day6 Samson ma aneʻi, a i ʻole e nānā i ke wikiō loiloi ma lalo nei.
ʻO ia wale nō, akā e loaʻa koke ana iā mākou kahi papa inoa ʻelima kiʻekiʻe. E hōʻoia e nānā i kā mākou papa inoa o nā paikikala uila 5 kiʻekiʻe aʻe i ka lā ʻapōpō!
