Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻimi i nā pōmaikaʻi o nā kaʻa uila, akā ʻaʻohe wahi a i ʻole kālā e hoʻokomo ai i kahi kaʻa kaʻa hou, a laila ʻo ka pahu hoʻololi uila uila paha kāu koho maikaʻi loa.Ua loiloi ʻo Jon Excell i kekahi o nā huahana i nānā nui ʻia ma kēia kahua e kū nei-ʻo ka Swytch suite i kūkulu ʻia ma UK.
Aia nā paikikala uila ma ka mākeke no nā makahiki he nui.Eia nō naʻe, ua hauʻoli nā kūʻai aku i nā mahina i hala aku nei ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana o ka hiki ke kūʻai aku, ka piʻi ʻana o ke kaʻa kaʻa i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi maʻi, a me ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka noi no nā ʻano kaʻa kaʻa hoʻomau.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e like me ka ʻikepili mai ka Bicycle Association, ke kino kālepa o ka ʻoihana paikikala Pelekane, ua hoʻonui ʻia ke kūʻai ʻana o nā kaʻa uila e 67% i 2020 a manaʻo ʻia e hoʻonui ʻia e 2023.
Ke ʻimi nei nā mea hana kaʻa paikikala e komo i kēia mākeke ulu, me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā ʻano huahana like ʻole: mai nā hiʻohiʻona kaʻa uila haʻahaʻa a hiki i ka mauna kiʻekiʻe a me nā kaʻa kaʻa me nā hōʻailona kumu kūʻai kaʻa.
Akā ʻo ka ulu ʻana o ka hoihoi i alakaʻi ʻia i ka puka ʻana mai o nā pahu hoʻololi uila uila i hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā paikikala i aloha ʻia a hiki ke hōʻike i kahi hopena ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā mīkini hou.
Ua loaʻa i nā ʻenekinia ka manawa e hoʻāʻo ai i kekahi o nā huahana i nānā nui ʻia ma kēia kahua e puka mai nei: ʻo ka Swytch kit, i hoʻomohala ʻia e Swytch Technology Ltd, kahi hoʻomaka kaʻa uila i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Lākana.
Aia ʻo Swytch i kahi huila mua i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia, ʻōnaehana sensor pedal a me kahi pūʻulu mana i kau ʻia ma nā pahu lima.Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka mea liʻiliʻi a me ka māmā loa o ka pahu hoʻololi uila uila ma ka mākeke.ʻO ka mea nui, e like me kāna mea hoʻomohala, kūpono ia me kēlā me kēia kaʻa.
