 I-Unagi, inkampani yesithuthuthu sikagesi, yethule umkhiqizo omusha, onamandla kakhulu.

Isiqalo esisekelwe eCalifornia sithuthukise isikuta saso sikagesi esihamba phambili ngenjini ekabili eletha i-torque nesivinini ngaphandle kokudela ukuphatheka.Lesi futhi okokuqala ngqa lapho amakhasimende ekhetha cishe noma yimuphi umbala noma inhlanganisela yephethini yesikuta sabo njengombala wangokwezifiso.

Isikuta sikagesi se-Unagi esisha se-E500 esinezinjini ezimbili ezingama-250W, eyodwa ngaphambili neyodwa ngemuva, ngesamba esingu-500W.

Isikuta sikagesi sokuqala sale nkampani sisebenzisa ama-motor angu-250W nama-450W anesivinini esiphezulu esingu-15.5 mph (cishe u-25km/h).

Le mishini entsha isinikeza ijubane eliphezulu lika-19 mph (cishe u-30 km/h) kanye ne-torque engu-32 Nm enomthwalo omkhulu ongu-90 kg.

“Sigxile ekuhlinzekeni ngesikuta sikagesi esiphatheka ngempela”

Naphezu kokwengezwa kwenjini, isikuta siselula, sinesisindo esingu-11.8kg kuphela.

"Kunezithuthuthu ezinkulu ezinobubanzi obude kanye ne-torque eyengeziwe, kodwa aziyona imikhiqizo ephathekayo," kusho uDavid Hyman, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Unagi, ku-imeyili.Iqiniso liwukuthi bambalwa kakhulu abagibeli noma abasebenzisi bedolobha abahamba ngamamayela angaphezu kwama-5 ngosuku.Sizinikele kule ngxenye, sibanikeze izikuta zikagesi eziphathwayo ngempela emhlabeni.Ngoba yilokho esikufunayo.“

Izikuta zikagesi ze-Unagi ziza ngezindlela ezintathu: abaqalayo (9-11 mph);okuthuthukisiwe (13-15 mph);kanye nomsebenzi (15-19 mph).Amabhethri e-lithium anobubanzi obungafika kumamayela ayi-15.5.

Njengokuqala, ifreyimu ye-Unagi E500 isebenzisa ingxube ye-aluminium ne-carbon fiber.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Unagi izohlinzeka ngensizakalo yokuqala yokupenda yomuntu siqu, amakhasimende angakwazi ngokuvumelana nezintandokazi zawo, umklamo we-inthanethi wezimoto zamabhodi kagesi.Imodeli yasekuqaleni inemibala emine kuphela: obomvu, oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, omhlophe, nomnyama.Amakhasimende manje angakhetha ezinhlobonhlobo zezingubo ezinethoni eyodwa noma ezinethoni emibili kanye namaphethini ahlukahlukene.

I-Unagi ” izocwilisa idayi kuhlaka lwe-carbon fiber, inikeze isevisi yopende yangokwezifiso ephezulu, kunokumane ukusonga noma ukunamathisele,” kusho u-Hyman.Lokhu sekwenze isikuta sikagesi sika-Unagi saba “umsebenzi wobuciko oqhubekayo womuntu siqu,” wengeza, wengeza ngokuthi amakhasimende angakwazi futhi ukukhetha imibala yamatroli, amashubhu okuqondisa kanye namaphedali.Futhi i-Unagi inikeza izitayela ezihlukahlukene zetimu , kusukela ekufihleni kwedolobha kuya ku-plaid kuya kuzindikimba zesiHawaii.

I-Unagi, okusho ukuthi i-eels yamanzi ahlanzekile ngesi-Japanese, iqale ngonyaka odlule ngesikuta sikagesi sika-$990.I-prototype yayo i-SWAN eyenziwe ngamaShayina.

U-Hyman unelungelo lobunikazi bomklamo emhlabeni wonke, waqasha ithimba lonjiniyela baseShayina futhi waxhasa lo msebenzi ngezimali.

Kusukela lapho, u-Unagi uthandwe ngosaziwayo abafana nomrepha waseCalifornia u-Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, u-Chandlers, umculi u-Hershey, umculi uStephen Aoki kanye nesihlabani somculo we-pop uBillie O'Connell, esiza u-Hyman ukuqongelela imali engu-$3.5 million.

Ngenyanga edlule, uHyman usize imbangi yakhe eyayinezinkinga, i-Unicorn, nayo eyenza izikuta zikagesi.Uthe uzonikeza izikuta zikagesi i-Unagi kuwo wonke umuntu othole indawo yesithuthuthu sikagesi esiyi-unicorn.
