Mu kwezi gushize, twatangaje ku bibazo by’imari bya Arcimoto, ikigo gikora imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi zisekeje kandi zisekeje cyane zitwara amapine atatu ku muvuduko wa kilometero 120 ku isaha. Bivugwa ko ikigo kiri hafi guhomba kuko gishakisha inkunga y’inyongera kugira ngo inganda zacyo zikomeze gukora.
Nyuma yo guhatirwa guhagarika umusaruro no gufunga by'agateganyo uruganda rwabo ruri i Eugene, muri leta ya Oregon, Arcimoto yagarutse muri iki cyumweru ifite inkuru nziza! Iyi sosiyete yongeye gukora nyuma yo gukusanya miliyoni 12 z'amadolari mu nguzanyo y'imigabane ku giciro gito.
Hamwe n'amafaranga mashya yavuye mu gikorwa cyo gutera inkunga kitoroshye, amatara yongeye kwaka kandi biteganijwe ko imodoka yo mu bwoko bwa Arcimotos FUV (Fun Utility Vehicle) izatangira gukoreshwa mu kwezi gutaha.
FUV ntabwo yagarutse gusa, ahubwo ni nziza kurusha mbere hose. Nk’uko ikigo kibitangaza, iyi moderi nshya izahabwa uburyo bwiza bwo kuyobora bunoze kandi bunoze gutwara no kugenzura. Biteganijwe ko iyi gahunda izagabanya imbaraga zo kuyobora ku kigero cya 40%.
Napimye FUV inshuro nyinshi kandi byari urugendo rwiza. Ariko ikibazo cya mbere gikurura amaso iyo wicaye inyuma y'umuziga ni imbaraga nyinshi umuvuduko muto usaba. Uyifata neza ku muvuduko wo hejuru. Ariko ku muvuduko muto, uba urimo gusunika umupira mu muhanda.
Ushobora kureba videwo y'urugendo rwanjye hepfo, nagerageje slalom traffic cones ariko nasanze bikora neza kurushaho iyo nza gukuba kabiri nkagerageza kuri buri segonda. Akenshi mboneka ngendera ku modoka zikoresha amashanyarazi zifite amapine abiri, bityo nshobora kuvuga ntashidikanya ko nubwo zifite ubwiza budasanzwe, FUVs ntabwo zikora neza nk'izindi ngendo zanjye nyinshi.
Ivugurura rishya, risa n’aho rigiye kunoza imiterere y’imashini itwara amashanyarazi, rizashyirwa ku bwoko bushya bwa mbere nyuma y’uko inganda zifunguwe.
Imwe mu mbogamizi zikomeye Arcimoto yahuye nazo kugeza ubu ni ukumvisha abatwara imodoka ko bagomba gukusanya arenga $20.000 kuri izi modoka nziza. Bivugwa ko umusaruro mwinshi ushobora kugabanya igiciro kikagera hafi ku $12.000, ariko hagati aho, imodoka yakozwe yagaragaye ko ihenze kuruta imodoka zisanzwe zikoresha amashanyarazi. Nubwo hari itandukaniro ritangaje mu miterere, imodoka ifunguye ifite imyanya ibiri ntabwo ikora nk'imodoka isanzwe.
Ariko Arcimoto ntiyibanda ku baguzi gusa. Iyi sosiyete ifite kandi verisiyo y'ikamyo yitwa Deliverator ku bakiriya b'ubucuruzi. Isimbura intebe y'inyuma n'agasanduku kanini k'ububiko gashobora gukoreshwa mu gutanga ibiryo, gutanga amapaki, cyangwa indi mirimo myinshi y'ingirakamaro.
Kutagira aho abajya mu ndege bapfutse neza biracyari imbogamizi kuri bamwe muri twe. Videwo yabo yerekana imyenda y'inyuma ku munsi w'imvura muri Oregon ntabwo yita ku muyaga, amazi aturuka ku zindi modoka nka za semi trailers, ndetse n'ikibazo rusange cyo gushyuha keretse ukiri muto kandi ufite ubutwari.
Abamotari benshi ntibagenda mu gihe cy'ikirere kibi, ariko inzugi nyazo zituma bishoboka. Urugi rwuzuye rufite kandi imikorere y'ibanze yo kurwanya ubujura. Muri urwo rwego, Half Door isa cyane na convertible.
Mu myaka myinshi ishize, Arcimoto yari ifite icyuma cya mbere gifite inzugi ndende, ariko kubera impamvu runaka, yaragitaye. Iyo baza kuba bari mu butayu bwumye, nabona byinshi mu mitekerereze yabo yo kudafungura neza, ariko imodoka zirimo kwibwa hose.
Funga izo modoka (zimanika amadirishya niba ubyifuza) maze abakiriya benshi bazabyishimira, koko! Igiciro cya $17.000 nacyo cyaba cyiza kurushaho, kandi kwiyongera kw'ibicuruzwa bishobora gutuma icyo giciro kiba gito.
Nishimiye cyane kumva ko Arcimoto yashoboye kubona inkunga yo gukomeza gukora kandi ndizera ko ibi bizahagije kugira ngo ikigo gisubire ku murongo.
Ndatekereza ko hari icyizere hano, kandi niba Arcimoto ishobora gukomeza kugera ku bwinshi kandi ikagabanya igiciro kikagera ku ntego yayo y’amadolari 12,000, ikigo gishobora kubona izamuka rikomeye mu busabe.
Itandukaniro riri hagati ya $12.000 na $20.000 ni rinini cyane, cyane cyane ku modoka imeze nk'iya kabiri kurusha iya mbere ku miryango myinshi.
Ese iyi ni filime igezweho ku bantu benshi? Birashoboka ko atari byo. Muri iyi minsi ni nk'aho abantu badasanzwe bakunda ibintu bidasanzwe. Ariko nyuma yo kumenya FUV n'imodoka yayo igezweho, ndahamya ntashidikanya ko uzayigerageza azayikunda!
Micah Toll ni umuntu ukunda imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi, ukunda batiri, akaba n'umwanditsi w'ibitabo bya mbere bigurisha kuri Amazon bivuga DIY Lithium Bateri, DIY Solar Energy, The Full DIY Electric Bicycle Guide, na The Electric Bicycle Manifesto.
Amagare ya elegitoroniki agize abagenzi ba Mika ba buri munsi ni Lectric XP 2.0 ya $999, Ride1Up Roadster V2 ya $1,095, Rad Power Bikes ya $1,199, na Priority Current ya $3,299. Ariko muri iyi minsi ni urutonde ruhora ruhinduka.
