About Wusa Электрлы шәхси хәрәкәтчәнлек транспорты

Wusa — кул белән идарә ителә торган инвалид коляскасы өчен куәт чыганагы буларак та хезмәт итүче кечкенә электрлы мотоцикл. Бу компакт транспорт шәһәр эчендә йөрү һәм ял итү өчен билгеләнгән. Нык корычтан ясалган рама җиңел литий-ион батареясен түбән һәм бер якка урнаштырылган хәлдә тота, шуңа күрә җайланманы инвалид коляскасы белән бергә кулланырга мөмкин. Арткы көпчәк приводы сәгатенә 35 километр максималь тизлек бирә, ә озын йөрешле арткы амортизация уңайлылык өсти. Мотоциклның хәзерге детальләрен урнаштырырга мөмкин, шуңа күрә транспортны шәхси таләпләргә җайлаштырырга була. Wusa бары тик инвалид коляскасы кулланучыларга гына түгел, бәлки барлык йөрүчеләргә дә ошарлык итеп эшләнгән.

The technology cultivated in racing field can create a vehicle enjoy together. “Cool thing is justice” is the philosophy of RDS, and we aim to create products that embody it.
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.
