About Wusa Elektrinė asmeninio mobilumo transporto priemonė

„Wusa“ – tai mažas elektrinis motociklas, kuris taip pat tarnauja kaip pavaros mazgas rankiniam neįgaliojo vežimėliui. Kompaktiška transporto priemonė skirta kelionėms po miestą ir laisvalaikiui. Tvirtas plieninis rėmas laiko lengvą ličio jonų akumuliatorių, įtaisytą žemai ir šone, todėl mazgą galima naudoti su neįgaliojo vežimėliu. Galinių ratų pavara leidžia pasiekti didžiausią 35 kilometrų per valandą greitį, o ilgos eigos galinė pakaba suteikia komforto. Galima montuoti esamas motociklų dalis, todėl transporto priemonę galima pritaikyti pagal poreikius. „Wusa“ sukurta patraukti visus vairuotojus, o ne tik neįgaliojo vežimėlių naudotojus.
