Freedom - tricycle scooter for adults



    Every day, new prototypes of electric vehicles for local movements appear - from bicycles and scooters to scooters and even skateboards. Many of them get to crowdfunding platforms, and we wrote about some. Of the latest original solutions, our attention was drawn to the Freedom three-wheeled scooter project , which continues to raise money on Indiegogo.com.



    Design

    The main feature of the scooter in the patented independent suspension design is that the rear wheels are not on the same axle and are not rigidly connected. This solution allows you to qualitatively change the functionality of the scooter.

    Any maneuvers by turning the steering wheel and shifting the center of gravity:



    Stability - at the level, you can fall only at will, and strong. No matter how you carry weight, holding the steering wheel, it’s difficult to lose balance: To



    steer on a slope - there are no problems either : The scooter is



    made in the form of a folding steel frame, a deck made of reinforced plastic.



    Having become familiar, the brushless motor pulls the front wheel. The battery is located at the base of the steering rod.



    Characteristics

    In the demo clip, the scooter is deftly thrown onto the shoulder, but with seventeen kilograms of metal (Freedom weighs so much) it is not always easy to do this. Although, we must pay tribute to the manufacturers, it is quite compact and does not take up much space in the trunk.

    The electric motor, as already mentioned, is brushless, power 200 W, peak 400 W. To increase the efficiency, the developers used a "sinusoidal" controller. The maximum speed is limited by the requirements of the traffic police, 25 km / h is the maximum. And then with the weight of the rider no more than 80 kg.

    However, if downhill, you can accelerate decently. And although rear brakes and front brakes are structurally provided on each wheel, it is strongly recommended to reduce speed sharply only by maneuvers - which is easy to do thanks to an independent suspension.

    The battery capacity is 6600 mAh, it charges for 4 hours, enough for 18 km of track. Battery life is 400 cycles.

    When folded, the scooter is 1.3 m in length, the wheels are 228x50 mm.

    Shipping and payment

    And here the most interesting thing: the developers plan to sell it after the completion of the company at a price of $ 999. Who will buy it for that kind of money is not very clear. In the meantime, you can participate in the project and make an order for $ 599. True, Russia is not in the list of delivery countries. But, as you know, for us this is not a problem. Delivery to the door of your apartment scooter with packaging weighing 18 kg will cost about $ 200 .
