Urban transport of the future: elektrobayk and elektrosamokat by Cactus

foreword

Quiet morning in Layfhakera office. People only occasionally and were talking in a low voice, to tens of square meters openspeysa is heard the familiar sound of keyboards. Not for long: soon our staff Kirill enters the office with two weighty boxes and would rather test in parcels from "positronics».

Workflows after unpacking if there were not paralyzed, it suffered considerably: some employees returned to work only in the queue waiting time or charging devices and the hum of engines replaced the usual silence of the office until the end of employment day.

elektrobayk

Cactus CS-EBIKE-P1 - modern bicycle riding which does not need to pedal. Acceleration is implemented as a motorcycle: speed is increased by rotation of the movable element right arm.

Equipment

The package includes himself elektrobayk, charging key, hexagon, and instructions. Footrest separately staffed.

Dimensions

Elektrobayk Cactus significantly less classical adult bicycle, and in size (906 × 480 × 956 mm) comparable rather with BMX. Despite all the high-tech filling, resulting in the movement of the bike, the developers managed to achieve light weight device - 12 kg. It allows you to transfer vehicles in the subway or on the stairs without difficulty - where to ride on it will not work.

The diameters of the wheels - 12 and 10 inches, that is approximately equal to the forward 30,5 cm and 25.5 cm for the rear wheel. They have sufficient thickness to bypass smaller obstacles, but on the curb Cactus still not jumps. This can hardly be called a minus model: modern elektrobayka not designed to travel on the road. Battery weight and the accelerator does not perform stunts or getting up "a goat", in this regard Cactus closer to scooters, rather than to the bikes.

Ergonomics

The seats are comfortable, but the height is not adjustable. However, none of the employees, test elektrobayk (my height - 165 cm, the growth of some colleagues more than 2 m), complained of low or high position of the seat.

Additional convenience provides height adjustment of the steering wheel. Feet are placed on special stands, which are attached to the front wheel. The rear wheels - footrest.

Specifications

Power 350 W provides the speed to 30 km / h. The battery capacity of 4400 mAh is designed to operate without recharging for 40 minutes - with a slight hour. Such ruggedness is not accidental: the developers have assured a 20 km course on a single charge, and the intensity of spending of kilometers depends upon how you manage elektrobayka. Cactus fully charged in about two hours. And a bike, scooter and has an additional USB-in for charging external devices.

The greatest rise elektrobayka angle - 12 °, and the maximum weight of the passenger, which is designed to transport, - 120 kg. The degree of dust and moisture protection - IP54, so dust and spray contacts are not terrible. Elektrobayk also equipped with a rear wheel disc brake, brake by pushing the lever on the left side of the steering wheel.

Cactus elektrobayk pretends to be a full member of the transport system: it has a horn, headlight and brake light. The latter includes a manual brake, and turn on the main switch the lantern and horn are located on the left side of the steering wheel.

Using the application

Elektrobayk able to interact with smartphones running iOS (at least 7.0) and Android (not below 4.3) via Bluetooth. With a special application can lock and unlock the device, view data on the charge level, the speed and mileage. Also, the application can set the maximum speed of 30 km / h (factory setting maximum speed - 20 km / h) and diagnose elektrobayka work.

Elektrosamokat

Cactus CS-ESCOOTER-S2 - scooter, which can be ridden like pushing your feet and with the help of an electric motor. Specifications he loses elektrobayka of Cactus, but it has a major advantage. After a complete discharge scooter you do not have to haul it in his hands, just enough to set it in motion the usual mechanically.

Equipment

The basic package includes himself elektrosamokat, battery, AC adapter and instruction manual. The handles are separately to save space in the box. Removable battery, keep the scooter from the wall outlet when charging is not necessary.

Dimensions

Elektrosamokat comparable in size to the traditional, its dimensions - 843 × 425 × 260 mm. When folded, the height is reduced to 110 mm. Weight - 9.8 kg. Given that the scooter can be easily folded and dragged on one wheel, it is convenient to use as public transport.

Bumps which are not afraid elektrobayka appreciably complicate movement on elektrosamokate due to the smaller diameter (6 inches / 15.24 cm) and the thickness of the wheel. However, it is worth remembering that on a rough road becomes useless any scooter.

Ergonomics

Any major differences in the ergonomic properties of the classical scooter little: inflatable rear wheel, the gas control knob and brake on the handlebars, and the very fact that you carry out the movement by clicking on the pens. The rest is the same deck, steering wheel and two-wheel drive.

Elektrosamokatom easy to use: the two knobs are positioned so that they are convenient to manage large fingers, and after six seconds scooter traffic enters the cruise control. In this mode, press the throttle lever is no longer necessary, the device travels itself.

Specifications

Power 250 W allows the scooter to disperse until the 30 km / h. High-speed transmission can be switched using the main power button. Green mode allows to speed of 15 km / h, blue - 20 km / h, the yellow - 30 km / h. These indicators is more than enough, considering that skating in third gear is more like an extreme sport than a serene walk.

Elektrosamokat in many respects similar to elektrobayk: it also has 120 kg, has a protection class IP54 and charges the battery capacity of 4400 mA · hr for two hours. Just hold it on one charge a little less - 15 km.

test Layfhakera

When we do a review of some devaysa, we are testing. I was no exception, and transportation from the Cactus. Bike and scooter did not disappoint us on the street.

Verdict

The future if you do not come, it is already on its way. And the products Cactus - his first news. The fact that a few years ago seemed too futuristic to be true in large cities are no longer a rarity.

Elektrobayk Cactus CS-EBIKE-P1 is not ready to replace the city bike: engine power will not allow to develop a speed that give the vehicle's foot athlete, and limited battery capacity makes periodically recharged within day. But to ride on Cactus elektrobayka very fun, friendly chorus that is ready to confirm the whole editorial board Layfhakera.

But elektrosamokat Cactus CS-ESCOOTER-S2 is ready to replace the usual scooter now: he is mobile and not tied to the level of charge in the classical use.

Particularly pleased that the purchase price of public transport by Cactus is comparable with the purchase of another gadget, even the new iPhone is much more expensive.

Abstract future, we are talking about in the context of the review, coming closer. It is possible that such devices in a few years will pass in the category of must-have. Layfhaker and store "Positronics" offer you to buy ahead of the trends and the future of transport now.
