About Wusa Primary Function: Цахилгаан хувийн зорчих тээврийн хэрэгсэл
Book Text: Wusa нь гар тэргэнцэрийн хөдөлгүүр болж чадах жижиг цахилгаан мотоцикл юм. Энэхүү авсаархан тээврийн хэрэгсэл нь хотын доторх зорчилт болон амралт зугаалгын зориулалттай. Бат бөх ган хүрээ нь хөнгөн литий-ионы батерейг доод хэсэгт, хажуу тийш байрлуулснаар уг төхөөрөмжийг гар тэргэнцэртэй хамт ашиглах боломжтой болгодог. Хойд дугуйн хөтлөгч нь цагт 35 километр хамгийн дээд хурдыг олгож, урт явцтай хойд дэнжлүүр нь тухтай байдлыг нэмэгдүүлдэг. Одоо байгаа мотоциклын эд ангиудыг суурилуулах боломжтой тул тээврийн хэрэгслийг өөрийн хүссэнээр тохируулж болно. Wusa нь зөвхөн гар тэргэнцэр хэрэглэгчдэд төдийгүй бүх жолоочид таалагдахаар зохион бүтээгдсэн.
