James May: Sei ndakatenga scooter yemagetsi

Hover bhutsu dzaizopenya.Taiita setaive tavimbiswa kune imwe nguva muma1970, uye ndichiri kukwenya zvigunwe zvangu ndichitarisira.Panguva ino, pane nguva dzose izvi.

Tsoka dzangu dzave masendimita mashoma kubva pasi, asi hadzina kufamba.Ini ndinotsvedza ndisingashande, nekumhanya kunosvika 15mph, ndichiperekedzwa chete neruzha rusina kusimba.Pese pandiri vanhu vasina kuvhenekerwa vachiri kufamba, nekuda kwaPete.Iko hakuna chinodiwa rezinesi, hapana inishuwarenzi uye hapana VED.Iyi electric scooter.

Iyo scooter yemagetsi ndechimwe chezvinhu - pamwe neiyo iPad, yekutepfenyura TV uye Internet zvinonyadzisira - izvo zvandinoda kuunganidza kubva kuhupenyu hwangu hwevakuru uye kuenda neni kumakore angu ekuyaruka.Ndaizozviratidza kuna Sir Clive Sinclair, kuti ndivavimbise kuti chiono chavo chekufamba kwemagetsi mudhorobha chaive chiripo, uye kuti angokanganisa mota.

Sezvazviri, ndakatenga imwe mumakumi mashanu angu, gore nehafu yapfuura, uye hongu, ndanga ndichityora mutemo.Yangu yeXiaomi Mi Pro 2, yakatengeswa kwandiri naHalfords pakunzwisisa kwakasimba kuti yaive yekushandiswa chete panzvimbo yakavanzika, asi ini handina chimwe cheizvozvo uye kukwira nekudzika mukicheni kunogumbura missus yangu.Saka ndanga ndichiishandisa munzira, mumigwagwa yebhasikoro uye munzira.Ndichauya chinyararire.

Asi ungadaro, handizvo here?Nekuti inopfuura zvishoma pane inopindirana nekufamba, uye zvakanyanya, sezvagara zvichitaurwa nezvemabhazi madiki emudhorobha, hop on, svetuka kubva.Inonzwa sekurova sisitimu uye ndizvo, nekuti imotokari ine simba saka inofanirwa kunyoreswa.

Asi kuyedza kuita mapurisa ekushandiswa kwemagetsi ma scooters kwave kucherechedzwa sechinhu chisina maturo kuedza: iwe unogona zvakare kudzika mutemo uchipokana nevanhu vanoedza kutaura mazwi kana vachiputika.Saka hurumende iri kuramba.Zvakatanga nemiedzo yema scooters ekurenda - chimwe chinhu chakabudirira zvakanyanya pane zvatave kukwanisa kudzokera kudana The Continent - uye zvinoita sekunge tichazokwanisa kuva nazvo pachivande, musha weOlympic usingashandiswi kana kuti kwete, uye ndizvo zvazvinofanira kuva.Chipurisa nekudzika mutemo zvinozove nemvumo yeruzhinji, uye hatigone kumanikidzwa kufamba.

Asi dzokera kune scoot.Iine matatu ekukwira modhi - anofamba netsoka, akajairwa, emitambo - uye chaiyo-yepasirese renji inosvika makumi maviri mamaira.Yepamusoro kumhanya ndeye 15.5mph (ndiyo 25kmh) uye kune akavakirwa-mukati marambi, yakashama yekumira yekumira yekupaka, iyo isingadzivisike inoperekedza app, blah, blah, blah.

inongoonekwa se "chinhu", sikuta yemagetsi inoshamisa.Pane chiratidziro chinopenya chinoyevedza, chigunwe chiri nyore kuti chiite kuti chiende uye chinochaja kubva papuragi yenguva dzose mumaawa mashoma (maawa masere pakuchaja izere, asi hapana anomboita izvozvo).Yakasununguka kushandisa uye haidi kupinza kwekuedza, uye handifunge kuti izvi zvakambove chokwadi.

Isu tinoenda ipapo: mashoma scoots nerutsoka rwangu rwekuruboshwe kuti atange kutenderedza (ichi chinhu chekuchengetedza - hachizoendi neimwe nzira), ipapo ini ndinosvina chinokonzeresa uye nyika ndeyangu.Chinokosha zvikuru, handifaniri kugara ndichisimudza tsoka imwe neimwe nokuiisa pamberi peimwe nenzira inogamuchirwa yatinoti “kufamba”;pfungwa yechinyakare uye inosekesa zvinoshamisa.

Asi panguva ino ndinovhiringidzika zvishoma.Zvinonakidza, hongu.Kutonhodza nenzira ine utsinye, uye inonakidza yemwana.Iyo scooter.Asi ndechei chaizvo?

Pakutenderedza imba yekuchengetera zvinhu kana dhiza rechikepe chepamusoro, kana kungotenderera kune imwe yeaya akakura epasi pevhu fizikisi marabhoritari, zvingave zvakanaka.Ini ndinokuendesa kune zano rangu rekushandura iyo London Underground nedzimwe nzira dzepasi pevhu kuita mabhasikoro makuru.Magetsi scooters angave akanaka mukati imomo.Asi pasi mumugwagwa naIggy Pop ndine kusahadzika kwakati wandei.
