Ukuthandwa kwamabhayisikili kagesi kukhule kakhulu kulo nyaka. Akudingeki ukholwe amazwi ethu - ungabona ukuthi izibalo zokuthengisa zamabhayisikili kagesi azikho eshadini.
Intshisekelo yabathengi ngamabhayisikili kagesi iyaqhubeka nokukhula, futhi abagibeli abaningi bagijima emigwaqweni yezinyawo nasothulini kunanini ngaphambili. Kulo nyaka, i-Electrek iyodwa ilethe amashumi ezigidi zokubukwa emibikweni yezindaba zamabhayisikili kagesi, okufakazela ngokwengeziwe ubuhle bale mboni. Manje sibheka emuva embikweni wezindaba ezinkulu kakhulu zamabhayisikili kagesi kulo nyaka.
Ngesikhathi kwethulwa ibhayisikili likagesi, kwacaca kakhulu ukuthi leli bhayisikili likagesi elisheshayo alihlangabezani nanoma yiziphi izincazelo zomthetho zamanje zamabhayisikili kagesi.
Injini kagesi enamandla iyivumela ukuthi ifinyelele isivinini esiphezulu esingu- , esidlula kude umkhawulo ojwayelekile webhayisikili kagesi osemthethweni cishe kuwo wonke amazwe eNyakatho Melika, eYurophu, e-Asia nase-Oceania.
Isivinini esiphezulu singashintshwa ngobuchwepheshe ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-smartphone, ukuze sincishiswe sibe noma kuphi ukuze sivumelane nemithethonqubo yesivinini yendawo ehlukahlukene. Baze baphakamisa nomqondo wokusebenzisa i-geofencing ukulungisa umkhawulo wejubane ngesikhathi sangempela, okusho ukuthi ungashayela ngesivinini esigcwele emigwaqweni nasezindleleni zangasese, bese uvumela ibhayisikili libuyele ngokuzenzakalelayo emkhawulweni wejubane wendawo uma ujoyina umgwaqo womphakathi. Noma, umkhawulo wejubane enkabeni yedolobha ungancishiswa bese ukhuliswa ngokuzenzakalelayo lapho abagibeli begxumela emigwaqweni emikhulu, esheshayo.
Kodwa uyazi kahle ukuthi yenzani futhi wathi umqondo wamabhayisikili kagesi ukhuthaza ingxoxo ngokubuyekeza imithethonqubo yamabhayisikili kagesi ukuze ifake isivinini esiphezulu kanye nemikhiqizo enamandla kakhulu. Njengoba inkampani ichaze:
"Ngenxa yokungabikho kohlaka olusemthethweni olukhona lwalolu hlobo lwemoto olunomqondo wesivinini esijwayelekile, i-'AMBY' Vision Vehicles yaqala ukukhuthaza ukwethulwa komthetho onjalo ukuze kuthuthukiswe intuthuko yalolu hlobo."
Imisebenzi yesivinini esiphezulu kanye nokubiyela indawo yamabhayisikili kagesi akuyona yodwa indawo ekhanyayo. I-BMW iphinde yafaka amabhayisikili kagesi ngamabhethri angu-2,000 Wh, okuphindwe kathathu kuya kane kunosayizi webhethri ojwayelekile wamanje wamabhayisikili kagesi.
Le nkampani ithi kwimodi yamandla aphansi kakhulu, ibhayisikili likagesi lingahamba amakhilomitha angu-300 (amamayela angu-186) ngosizo lwe-pedal.
Uma ungakakwazi, ngibhala ikholomu njalo ngesonto ebizwa ngokuthi “Imoto kagesi ye-Alibaba eyinqaba kakhulu kuleli sonto”. Cishe uyayithanda noma uyayizonda.
Lolu chungechunge luyikholomu ehlekisayo kakhulu. Ngithole izimoto zikagesi ezihlekisayo, eziwubuwula noma ezixakile kuwebhusayithi yokuthenga enkulu kunazo zonke eShayina. Zihlala zinhle, ziyinqaba, noma zombili.
Kulokhu ngithole ibhayisikili likagesi elithakazelisayo kakhulu elenzelwe abagibeli abathathu. Nakuba umklamo ungavamile, into ebalulekile ethakazelisayo kungaba intengo, kanye nokuthunyelwa kwamahhala.
Leyo inketho "yebhethri elinomthamo ophansi", kuphela. Kodwa ungakhetha izinketho ezifaka phakathi, noma ezingenangqondo, konke okungeke kwenze intengo ibe ngaphezu kwe-. Lokhu ngokwako kuyamangalisa kakhulu.
Kodwa ukusebenza kwale nto kuyibuyisele ekhaya ngempela. Izihlalo ezintathu, ukumiswa okuphelele, ikheji lezilwane ezifuywayo (ngicabanga ukuthi mhlawumbe akufanele lisetshenziswe ezifuywayo zangempela), nokuningi kwenza le nto ibe nesici esicebile.
Kukhona ngisho nokhiye wemoto ovimbela umuntu ukuthi antshontshe ibhayisikili, ama-pedal angemuva, ama-pedal angaphambili asongwayo, ama-pedal asongwayo (ngokuyisisekelo lapho abantu abathathu bebeka khona izinyawo zabo) nokuningi!
Eqinisweni, ngemva kokubhala ngaleli bhayisikili elincane likagesi elingavamile, ngahlabeka umxhwele kakhulu, ngakho ngaqhubeka ngalithenga futhi ngalibeka ezindebeni zami imali. Ngemva kokuthatha izinyanga eziningana ukudlula inqwaba yemikhumbi yezimpahla eLong Beach, eCalifornia, kwavela ukuthi liyi-roller coaster. Lapho ekugcineni lifika, isitsha elalikuso “sasonakele” futhi ibhayisikili lami “lalingatholakali.”
Nginebhayisikili elisha manje, futhi ngithemba ukuthi leli lingalethwa ukuze ngikwazi ukwabelana nani ngendlela leli bhayisikili elisebenza ngayo empilweni yangempela.
Ngezinye izikhathi imibiko yezindaba ezinkulu kakhulu zezimoto zikagesi ayiphathelene nezimoto ezithile nhlobo, kodwa imayelana nobuchwepheshe obusha obunesibindi.
Lokhu kwakunjalo lapho uSchaeffler ekhombisa uhlelo lwakhe olusha lwebhayisikili likagesi i-Freedrive. Isusa ngokuphelele noma yimaphi amaketanga noma amabhande ohlelweni lokudlulisa ibhayisikili likagesi.
Iphedali ayinayo indlela yokuxhumana ngomshini nesondo langemuva, kodwa imane inika amandla ijenereyitha futhi idlulisele amandla kunjini yehabhu yebhayisikili kagesi.
Lolu uhlelo oluhle kakhulu oluvula umnyango wemiklamo yamabhayisikili kagesi okudala. Ekuqaleni, olufanele kakhulu amabhayisikili kagesi okuthutha impahla. Lokhu kuvame ukuvinjelwa ngenxa yesidingo sokuxhuma i-pedal drive esondweni lokushayela elingemuva elikude futhi elinqanyuliwe kaningi kusuka ku-pedal ngokusebenzisa ukuxhumana kwemishini.
Sibone i-drive ixhunywe ebhayisikilini likagesi elikhulu kakhulu elithwala impahla ku-Eurobike 2021, futhi yenze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu, yize ithimba lisalungisa ukuze lithuthukise ukusebenza kwalo lonke uhlobo lwegiya.
Kubonakala sengathi abantu bayawathanda ngempela amabhayisikili kagesi asheshayo, noma okungenani bathanda ukufunda ngawo. Imibiko yezindaba emihlanu ephezulu yamabhayisikili kagesi ngo-2021 amabhayisikili amabili asheshayo.
Ukuze kungadluliswa lutho, umkhiqizi wamabhayisikili kagesi umemezele ukwethulwa kwebhayisikili elikhulu elisheshayo elibizwa nge-V, elingafinyelela isivinini kuye ngesimo esithile. Kuyiphi inkampani oyifundayo ummeleli noma isitatimende sabezindaba.
Amabhayisikili kagesi alengayo aphelele awawona nje umqondo. Nakuba engashongo ukuthi uhlela ukukhiqiza amabhayisikili kagesi ashesha kakhulu, uthe empeleni uzoletha ibhayisikili lawo elikhulu emakethe.
Noma kunjalo, ngithathe ikhasi encwadini, ngithi umgomo wayo ukukhuthaza izingxoxo ngemithetho yebhayisikili kagesi.
"I-V iyibhayisikili lethu lokuqala elihle kakhulu. Liyibhayisikili kagesi elizinikele ekufinyeleleni isivinini esiphezulu kanye namabanga amade. Ngikholwa ukuthi ngo-2025, leli bhayisikili elisha likagesi elisheshayo lingashintsha ngokuphelele ama-scooter nama-scooter emadolobheni.
Sibiza inqubomgomo egxile kubantu yokucabanga kabusha ukuthi ingasetshenziswa kanjani indawo yomphakathi uma ingahlali izimoto. Ngijabule kakhulu ukucabanga ngokuthi amadolobha azobukeka kanjani maduze nje, futhi siyaziqhenya ngokukwazi ukuhlanganyela ekushintsheni ngokwakha amathuluzi okuguqula afanele.
Lo nyaka ube yizindaba ezinkulu selokhu iCongress yaqala ukuphakamisa isikweletu sentela sikahulumeni samabhayisikili kagesi afana nezimoto zikagesi ngoFebhuwari.
Nakuba abanye abantu becabanga ukuthi isikweletu sentela yebhayisikili kagesi siwumgomo wesikhathi eside, lesi siphakamiso sathola ivoti elikhulu lokuzethemba lapho iNdlu Yabamele yase-US idlulisa ivoti langempela njengengxenye "yoMthetho Wokwakha Kabusha Ongcono."
Isikweletu sentela sinqunyelwe ku-$900, okungaphansi komkhawulo wokuqala ohleliwe ongu-$1,500. Sisebenza kuphela kumabhayisikili kagesi anenani elingaphansi kuka-$4,000. Uhlelo lokuqala lukhawulele isikweletu sentela kumabhayisikili kagesi abiza ngaphansi kuka-$8,000. Umkhawulo ophansi awufaki ezinye zezinketho zamabhayisikili kagesi abiza kakhulu anentengo ehlobene nekhono lawo lokuchitha iminyaka eshintsha izimoto ekuhambeni kwansuku zonke.
Nakuba kusenezinhlobo eziningana zamabhayisikili kagesi athengiswa ngaphansi kwama-US$1,000, amabhayisikili kagesi athandwa kakhulu athengiswa ngezinkulungwane zamaRandi aseMelika futhi asafaneleka ukusetshenziswa ohlakeni olulindile.
Ngemva kokusekelwa okukhulu kanye nokunxenxa okuvela emphakathini kanye nePeopleForBikes kanye namanye amaqembu, amabhayisikili kagesi afakiwe esikweletu sentela yezimoto zikagesi zikahulumeni.
“Ngenxa yezikhuthazo ezintsha zezimali zamabhayisikili namabhayisikili kagesi kanye nezibonelelo zokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda ezigxile esimweni sezulu kanye nokulingana, ivoti lakamuva leNdlu Yabamele mayelana “noMthetho” lifaka phakathi amabhayisikili njengengxenye yesisombululo sesimo sezulu. Sinxusa iSenate ukuthi yamukele lesi sinqumo ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka ukuze siqale ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi emgwaqweni ngenkathi sivumela wonke umuntu ukuba ahambe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhamba kanjani noma ukuthi uhlala kuphi.”
Ngo-2021, sibona inani elikhulu lamabhayisikili kagesi amasha ajabulisayo, kanye namandla ashukumisayo obuchwepheshe obusha kanye nokuchaza kabusha ukuba semthethweni kwamabhayisikili kagesi.
Manje, njengoba abakhiqizi beqala ukululama ekusweleni okukhulu kwe-supply chain, okubavumela ukuthi balethe imibono emisha namamodeli emakethe, u-2022 ungaba unyaka ojabulisa kakhulu.
Ucabanga ukuthi sizobonani embonini yamabhayisikili kagesi ngo-2022? Ake sizwe imicabango yakho esigabeni sokuphawula ngezansi. Uma ufuna ukubuyela emuva esikhathini sohambo olukhumbulekayo (izinyanga ezingu-12-24), hlola imibiko yezindaba zamabhayisikili kagesi aphezulu ngonyaka odlule ka-2020.
