Inkampani ebizwa ngokuthi iBike inethemba lokusebenzisa ibhayisikili likagesi eliqondile elibizwa ngokuthi i-, eliphefumulelwe amabhayisikili e-BMX nama-skateboard, ukuze lifake ubumnandi emigwaqweni yedolobha.
“Umklamo nokuthuthukiswa kwemikhiqizo yezimoto zikagesi emakethe kuhloswe ukuhambisa abantu ukusuka endaweni A kuya endaweni B ngamandla nesikhathi esincane,” kuchaza, owasungula iBike no-B ekuqaleni kwalonyaka. “Lezi yizincazelo ezinhle zokuhamba, futhi zingalandela umkhuba wedolobha - noma ngokuvamile ngokusheshisa -. Kodwa-ke, eziningi zazo zenzelwe ukuhlangabezana nezidingo futhi zisadinga ezinye izinongo ukuze zibe mnandi kakhulu, ngisho nokunye. Sakha kusukela endaweni yokugcina iwayini esiyiklamile.”
Iqale ukubonakala kwiDesign Week yakamuva, ekuqaleni ikhiqizwe ngomkhawulo wezingcezu ezingu-20. Izofika ngezinhlobo ezimbili zama-power pack - ngayinye yakhiwe ngohlaka lwensimbi engagqwali oluveziwe futhi ikhwele amarimu e-Eclat angu-20 intshi aboshwe ngamathayi abomvu e-Salt BMX.
Amamodeli afakwe injini engu-250 hub angakhiqiza i-torque, abe nesivinini esiphezulu esingu-250, futhi kubikwa ukuthi ayakwazi ukusingatha imithambeka engama-degree angu-12. Nakuba imininingwane ethile yebhethri le-lithium-ion ingakamenyezelwa, umgibeli uthembiswa ibanga elingafika kumakhilomitha angu-45 (amamayela angu-28) ngokushaja ngakunye.
Enye inketho yephakethe lamandla ifakwe injini kanye nebhethri elikhulu, elinganikeza ama-60 ka-2000, isivinini esiphezulu esingu-35 km/h (21.7 mph), kanye nebanga lokuhamba ngezinyawo elingafika kuma-60 km. (amamayela angu-37)).
Okungacaci kahle ukuthi injini ikwenza kanjani ukuthi ushukumise, yize umklamo usikisela ukuthi umfutho wokukhahlela womgibeli ukhuliswa ngendlela efana ne-Scrooser yethayi elinamafutha, kunokuba nje ujike i-throttle ukuze igoqeke phansi. Kwenye indawo, kune-handlebar yesitayela se-BMX, amabhuleki ediski ngemuva kanye nezibani ze-LED zesimanje ngaphambili kwedekhi njenge-skateboard.
Ngokwezincazelo ezinikeziwe, yilokho kuphela. Ama-oda angaphambi kwesikhathi alo mkhiqizo olinganiselwe asevuliwe manje, aqala ku-$2,100. Kulindeleke ukuthi aqale ukuthunyelwa ngoJanuwari.
