Tencent Digital News (Compiler: Rabbit) Although an electric balance car like Hoverboard looks cool, not everyone likes it because it is convenient, but it is also not very convenient for portability. Now a company called Cocoa Motors has launched an ultra-mini WalkCar that can solve the problem of balancing the scooters' portability. It can even be as small as a backpack.
After a year of product development and testing, team leader Kuniaki Saito and his team finally officially launched the WalkCar and will begin bookings on October 21.
The portable scooter was designed to fit into a 13-inch laptop bag, but this time the user's backpack was not a Windows or Mac laptop but a 3 kg scooter. This small scooter can be used by adults up to 120 kg.
Cocoa Motors stated that the WalkCar has a cruising range of approximately 12 kilometers, a top speed of 16 kilometers per hour and a charging time of approximately 3 hours. At the same time, the method of using the WalkCar is also very simple, and the direction of the WalkCar can be controlled according to different center of gravity adjustments. For example, the forward movement is the forward movement of the body, and the right and left rotation is the adjustment of the center of gravity slightly to the left or right.
If the user wants to stop, he just needs to jump from the WalkCar. The WalkCar will automatically stop. If there is a small step, the WalkCar can directly “run over†and the road conditions are not high.
Compared with other balance cars, the biggest advantage of the WalkCar is that it is portable, not only much smaller than electric bikes and folding bikes, but even smaller than the similar balance car, so it can basically solve our “last mile†The commuting problem.
WalkCar even has a little climbing ability, but also allows us to push the goods climbing.
In addition, if more and more people use the WalkCar, the space on the road will not be too crowded and it is very suitable for a city with a very high population density such as Japan.
WalkCar's booking price is 1280 US dollars (about 8620 yuan), will accept bookings from October 21st, but booking users will wait until at least 2017 will get it. But anyway, WalkCar is so small, it is definitely a weapon for us to go to work.
