About Wusa Elektriskais personīgās mobilitātes transportlīdzeklis

Wusa ir mazs elektriskais motocikls, kas kalpo arī kā jaudas bloks manuālam ratiņkrēslam. Kompaktais transportlīdzeklis ir paredzēts pārvietošanās pilsētā un brīvā laika izmantošanai. Izturīga tērauda rāmja konstrukcija tur vieglu litija jonu akumulatoru, kas novietots zemu un sānos, tāpēc bloku var izmantot kopā ar ratiņkrēslu. Aizmugurējo riteņu piedziņa nodrošina maksimālo ātrumu 35 kilometri stundā, un aizmugurējā piekare ar garu gājienu piešķir komfortu. Var pievienot esošās motociklu detaļas, tāpēc transportlīdzekli var pielāgot individuālajām vajadzībām. Wusa ir izstrādāts tā, lai piesaistītu visus braucējus, ne tikai ratiņkrēslu lietotājus.

Inspiration: Japan is a leading country of issues. One of the typical issue is the progressing of the aging and depopulation especially in local sites, causing how to keep daily moving as a issue. Some public transportation is being closed due to reduced demand. In addition, there are wheelchair users as existing vulnerable. Any transportation that fills the middle between a car and a wheelchair will help a lot yet for only limited demand for welfare use, it is often hard to solve it in reasonable price.
