Nakuba singase singabi nawo amabhodi okuhambisa phezulu asebenzayo okwamanje (angathembeli kusivutheli samaqabunga okungenani), iminyaka embalwa edlule yethule abadlali bama-skaters ngobuchwepheshe obusha obusize ukushintsha ulwazi lwebhodi enamasondo amane kangcono. Yiqiniso, ubuchwepheshe ngeke esikhundleni ikhono eluhlaza of ukuhlikihla i-gnar nge izindlela zesikole esidala, kodwa kungasiza ngempela ukwenza izinto zibe mnandi kakhulu kithina sonke. Phakathi kokunye, i- I-Mellow Drive mhlawumbe iyingxenye yezingcezu ezibaluleke kakhulu ze-skateboard tech esizibone esikhathini eside.
Idunyiswa “njengesistimu yokushayela yokuqala ngqa yamabhodi okushibilika angafakwa ngaphansi kwanoma iyiphi indawo,” i-Mellow ikhuthaza abagibeli bazo zonke izinhlobo ukuthi “bavele bakhethe (ibhodi) abalithandayo baliguqule libe umshini wokugibela ogcwele.”
Idizayinelwe e-Hamburg, eJalimane ngabashisekeli be-boardsport uJohannes no-Kilian, laba bobabili mhlawumbe abakwazanga ukuvela ezizindeni ezingcono kakhulu: kuyilapho uJohannes eseneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-15 embonini yezemidlalo eneziqu ze-Sports and Economics, i-Kilian iyimoto kagesi yangaphambili ye-BMW. unjiniyela osebenzisa i-off-time yakhe yokuntweza.
“Singabathandi bemidlalo yebhodi,” kusho laba ababili.
“Futhi njengabanye abaningi siyawukhumbula umuzwa wenkululeko esiyithola ngokuntweza emanzini nokugibelela eqhweni lapho sibuyela ekhaya edolobheni. Ngokugqugquzelwa ukusungulwa kwamabhodi okushibilika okuqala eminyakeni engu-50 edlule, manje sifuna ukuyisa i-asphalt surf kwelinye izinga.”
Ukusiza ukuthwala lo “muzwa wokuzikhandla, ontantayo wokugibela” uwuyise emigwaqweni, abaklami bagxilise ukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo wabo wangaphambi kwesikhathi kubunjiniyela umkhiqizo osebenzisa inani elincane lesisindo ngenkathi uletha inani eliphakeme le-latitude. Okube umphumela kwaba isistimu enama-motor amabili angaphakathi kwamasondo aletha i-torque ephezulu engenawo umsindo. Njengoba zihlanganiswe ngokuphelele, nazo zingama-100% amanzi nothuli.
Mayelana namandla, iphekhi yebhethri eshintshwayo eshintshwayo yenzelwe i-Mellow Drive – sibonga kakhulu ngolwazi lwangaphambili lukaJohannes njengonjiniyela wemoto kagesi we-BMW. Ngokusho kwabaklami, amaseli ebhethri asetshenziselwa ibhodi atholakala endaweni efanayo lapho uTesla ethola khona amaseli ezimoto zabo zikagesi.
Ngaphezu kwakho konke, isistimu yesilawuli kude nebhuleki ecatshangelwayo kahle futhi enembile iqinisekisa ukuthi abasebenzisi ngeke bandize amalambu abomvu noma bamise izimpawu ngokungalindelekile:
“NgoMellow ungahamba ngokushesha okukhulu. Ukuhamba ngokushesha kuhle inqobo nje uma ukwazi ukuphatha isivinini. Sifuna uzizwe uphephile futhi ulawula ngokugcwele kunoma isiphi isivinini, ngakho sihlomise i-Mellow Drive nge-Dual Braking System. Isebenzisa amandla okubhuleka avuselelwe ukushajwa kabusha ibhethri, kodwa ngokungafani nezinye izikethi zikagesi i-resistor yokubhuleka yangaphakathi iphinde ivimbele ibhuleki ukuthi licime uma kwenzeka ibhethri selishajwe ngokugcwele. Uma kwenzeka uphelelwa ijusi ibhodi lakho lizovele liphume ngaphandle kokungqubuzana noma ukubhuleka okungazelelwe, ukuze ukwazi ukuphushela ekhaya kalula.”
Abaklami sebevele bakhuphule cishe u-25% wenhloso yabo yomkhankaso ka-$111,589 ngosuku olulodwa nje - lokhu kungaba ukusa kwemoto entsha ngokuphelele yezokuthutha zasemadolobheni? Kunoma yikuphi, izokwenza kahle kuze kube yilapho ibhodi le-hover lifika ekugcineni. Uma uzizwa unamandla, ungathenga eyakho i-Mellow Drive kusukela ku-$963 kuya phezulu I-Kickstarter.
