I-Wirecutter isekela abafundi. Uma uthenga ngesixhumanisi esikuwebhusayithi yethu, singathola ikhomishana esebenzisana nayo. Funda kabanzi
Sibuyisele inketho yethu yokuthuthukisa, ibhayisikili elibhalansi le-Woom 1 12-intshi, elibuyele emashalofini ngemva kokuphelelwa yisikhathi isikhathi eside.
Ibhayisikili elibhalansi elihle lingasiza izingane ukuba zithuthukise ukusebenzisana nokuzethemba ezikudingayo ukuze zigibele ibhayisikili-into ezingakwazi ukuyithola ngamasondo okuqeqesha. Sichithe cishe amahora angu-40 sicwaninga futhi sihlanganisa amabhayisikili ebhalansi angu-13 futhi siwanikeza iqembu lezingane ezinomdlandla ezineminyaka engu-2 kuya kwengu-8. Phela, ngemva kokubonisana nabanye abazali nezingcweti zemboni, sikholelwa ukuthi i-Strider 12 Sport iyibhayisikili elingcono kakhulu lebhalansi izingane eziningi (kanye nabazali bazo).
I-Strider 12 Sport iqinile, ayisindi futhi kulula ukuyihlanganisa, okuyenza ibe inketho engcono kakhulu elungisekayo ezinganeni ezisuka ezinyangeni eziyi-18 kuya kwengu-5 ubudala.
Ibhayisikili lebhalansi yezemidlalo ye-Strider 12 lifihla umklamo omangalisayo ngaphansi kokubukeka okulula. Yibhayisikili elibhalansi elidume kakhulu emakethe, futhi siyaqonda ukuthi kungani: kulula ukulihlanganisa, ububanzi obulungisekayo, isisindo esilula (amakhilogremu angu-6.7) nokuma okuphansi okungama-intshi angu-8, kulula ukulinganisa. Phakathi kwawo wonke amabhayisikili alapha, inomuzwa ongcono kakhulu wokuklama, futhi inobungane obuncane, inezibambo eziwumngcingo zezingane kanye nezibambo ezilingana nojahidada. Isihlalo sayo sinebanga lokulungiswa kobude elibanzi kakhulu (amayintshi angu-9!) kunoma yiliphi ibhayisikili esilihlolile. Idizayini yayo elula ihlanganisa i-earphone ye-nayiloni ekhanyayo, engagcini ngokulungiswa (i-pivot evumela isibambo ukuthi siphenduke), amasondo epulasitiki alula kakhulu, amathayi enjoloba ayigwebu abambe kamnandi angadingi ukufutheka, kanye nama-pedals Boards, lokhu isici esihle. Ingane iqala ukuzama amasu afana nogwaja ogxumayo, noma ifuna nje ukuphumula izinyawo zayo lapho yehla kancane kancane. Siphinde sithanda izibambo zezibambo ezinobude obugcwele lapho unogwaja ugxuma okungalungile. I-12 Sport ayinawo amabhuleki, kodwa iStrider inikeza amabhuleki ezinyawo engeziwe endaweni enezintaba.
Lesi sikuta sebhalansi ye-aluminium sibiza kakhulu kunesikhethe kuqala futhi sinokulungiswa okuncane, kodwa sifakwe amathayi werabha womoya werabha abamba ukushaqeka afanele ukusetshenziswa endlini.
Uma ukukhetha kwethu okuphezulu kuthengisiwe, noma uma ufuna ukucushwa nokudonsa kwamasondo enjoloba, ikakhulukazi uma ugibela endlini, ibhayisikili lebhalansi lezingane le-REI's Co-op Cycles REV 12 liyisinqumo esihle. Yize amathayi ayo asebenza emoyeni, amasondo e-alloy nama-earphone ajwayelekile anebhola ayenza ibenzima ngamakhilogremu angu-9 kune-Strider Sport, iREV 12 iphinde ibe nezinto ezicatshangelwe kahle zezingane, njenge-low top tube (efana ne-Strider 12 Sport 8 inches) kanye nesihlalo esishintshwayo. ukuphakama okungu-5 amayintshi kusekuhle, kodwa kungu-4 amayintshi ngaphansi kwe-Strider. Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Strider 12 Sport, i-Co-op ebiza kancane ayinakho ukulungiswa kosayizi, ikakhulukazi ezibambo, kodwa abanye babahloli bethu bakhetha ukuzinza kwezibambo ezibanzi namandla abo okudlula irabha enamafutha Ijubane elikhiqizwa isondo. . I-REV 12 iphinde yathola amaphuzu aphezulu ngokuhlanganiswa kwayo okulula kakhulu. Ama-welds ahlanzekile, umsebenzi wokupenda ongenasici, nezinto ezihlanganiswe kahle zenza amabhayisikili ekhwalithi ephezulu efana nokwesekwa kwamakhasimende okudumile kwe-REI.
Nakuba ingeyona into enhle njenge-Strider noma i-Co-op, leli bhayisikili elingasindi, elibuyela emuva lizovumela izingane eziningi ukuthi zisukume futhi zintweza ngokujabula - ngaphandle kokwephula isabelomali.
Ochwepheshe bethu bayavuma ukuthi kufanele wenze izinguquko ezithile uma usebenzisa imali engaphansi kuka-$110 ngebhayisikili elibhalansi. Nakuba ifreyimu yensimbi i-Banana Bike LT V2 inikeza abaqalayo lokho esicabanga ukuthi yizici ezimbili ezibaluleke kakhulu-ubude obuphansi bokuma nesisindo esincane, ngentengo engabizi kakhulu, kuthatha imizuzu engaphezu kwe-45 ukuphuma ngempela ebhokisini. Kodwa-ke, ifreyimu iklanywe kahle, futhi isibambo sinezinhlobonhlobo zokulungiswa kokuphakama, okuhambisana nesihlalo (cishe ama-intshi angu-3). Amathayi egwebu likabhanana asebenza kahle ezindaweni ezigandayiwe nezinokhaphethi, kodwa ayashelela ekhishini elinoleum nasezindaweni zokhuni oluqinile (ngokungafani nephezulu nelesibili). Ngidinga ukusebenzisa amapheya ukuze ngixege amasondo alo (okubi ngoba ibhayisikili linesikrufu esisodwa) ngoba liphenduka kancane kakhulu, futhi ama-earphone alo anebhola ajwayelekile aqinile uma efika, okwenza izibambo ziphenduke izikhala. . Noma kunjalo, leli bhayisikili lihle futhi lenza kahle kanye umama noma ubaba (noma isitolo sendawo samabhayisikili) silenza liginqike kahle.
Iguquguqukayo, kulula ukuhlanganisa, futhi ifakwe ibhuleki lesandla langemuva eliwusizo, leli ibhayisikili elibhalansi labagibeli bamabhayisikili nabazali abafuna izingane zabo zibe nebhayisikili ye-tyke yochwepheshe.
Amabhayisikili ebhalansi (abizwa nangokuthi amakalishi) awawona wonke umuntu. Kodwa ngemva kokwenza inhlolo-vo kubazali abaningi, sathola ukuthi lapho izingane zakho zikhuthele, maningi amathuba okuba zizamukele. I-Woom 1 ngeke iyekethise nganoma iyiphi indlela—ukuhlanganiswa okulula, izingxenye eziqinile, ijometri ekahle—ngakho-ke uma imali ibalulekile, futhi uthando lwamabhayisikili lubalulekile kuwe, khona-ke leli bhayisikili lifanele usayizi wezingubo Izingane eziphakathi kuka-2T no-4T. . I-Woom iklanywe eYurophu (izwe lasekhaya losikompilo olungcono kakhulu lwamabhayisikili), ekhiqizwa e-Cambodia, futhi idayelwe ngokuqondile endaweni yokuhlanganisa i-Woom e-Austin, eTexas, ehlinzeka ngokulawula kwekhwalithi ephezulu yomkhiqizo. I-Woom 1 inesisindo esingaphansi kwamakhilogremu angu-8, inendawo ekahle yokugibela eqondile, ubude beshubhu eliphezulu obuphansi kakhulu obungu-7 intshi (bufaneleka kakhulu izingane ezincane) kanye nokuhleleka kwesihlalo esingamayintshi angu-5, amayintshi angu-10¾ ukusuka phansi (Ekuqaleni) cishe amayintshi angu-12. ). Izingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha ezishumekiwe emasondweni zigcina imilenze yezingane ingabambeki, kuyilapho i-O-ring yerabha ekhiphekayo yenza isilinganisi esishintshayo sokuqondisa ukuvimbela imimese egoqa isondo langaphambili. Ibhayisikili liphinde lifundise ukubhuleka ngesandla ngokusebenzisa izinsimbi zalo eziklanyelwe izandla ezincane-lesi isinyathelo sesibili sokufunda ukugibela ibhayisikili ngemva kokulinganisa. Amabhuleki angaba nzima kwabaqalayo, kodwa i-Woom ayidingi ukulungiswa, njengezinye izingxenye zebhayisikili.
I-Strider 14x Sport indlwana, inamaphedali afakeka kalula, futhi ingasetshenziswa njengebhayisikili lokuqala lengane yakho elihambayo, okuwutshalomali oluthembekile konke konke.
I-Strider 14x Sport imele ingxenye encane yamabhayisikili abhalansi angahlonywa izingxenye ze-sprocket ukuze aguqule ngokushesha abe amabhayisikili aqinile, angaxegi. Nakuba sithanda i-Strider 14x Sport kanye nesiqhudelana naye oseduze kakhulu, i-LittleBig 3-in-1, i-Strider inenani eliphansi kanye nohlu olubanzi lwamasayizi alungisekayo. Ngokwe-geometry, i-14x inamasondo angu-14 inch (ehlukile kwamanye amabhayisikili ebhalansi esiwahlolile, anamasondo angu-12 inch), kanti iSport ilungele izingane ezineminyaka ephakathi kuya kwephezulu ezineminyaka engaphansi kweyisi-7 ubudala. . Inesinyathelo esiphansi ngokumaphakathi esingama-intshi angu-10; i-wheelbase ende futhi ezinzile engu-28½-intshi; kanye nobude obungajwayelekile besihlalo esingamayintshi angu-15 kuya kwangu-22. Isici sethu esiyintandokazi: Amaphedali ahlakaniphile anobubanzi obuphakathi, okuvumela izingane ukuthi zibeke izinyawo zazo phansi futhi zime ngaphandle kokunyathelwa amaphedali, futhi ngeke zinwaye lapho zijikajika ngokucijile. Hlanganisa konke lokhu ngesiqu sesibambo esingaphakanyiswa cishe amayintshi angu-4, futhi unebhayisikili eliguquguqukayo elinosayizi olungile.
I-Strider 12 Sport iqinile, ayisindi futhi kulula ukuyihlanganisa, okuyenza ibe inketho engcono kakhulu elungisekayo ezinganeni ezisuka ezinyangeni eziyi-18 kuya kwengu-5 ubudala.
Lesi sikuta sebhalansi ye-aluminium sibiza kakhulu kunesikhethe kuqala futhi sinokulungiswa okuncane, kodwa sifakwe amathayi werabha womoya werabha abamba ukushaqeka afanele ukusetshenziswa endlini.
Nakuba ingeyona into enhle njenge-Strider noma i-Co-op, leli bhayisikili elingasindi, elibuyela emuva lizovumela izingane eziningi ukuthi zisukume futhi zintweza ngokujabula - ngaphandle kokwephula isabelomali.
Iguquguqukayo, kulula ukuhlanganisa, futhi ifakwe ibhuleki lesandla langemuva eliwusizo, leli ibhayisikili elibhalansi labagibeli bamabhayisikili nabazali abafuna izingane zabo zibe nebhayisikili ye-tyke yochwepheshe.
I-Strider 14x Sport indlwana, inamaphedali afakeka kalula, futhi ingasetshenziswa njengebhayisikili lokuqala lengane yakho elihambayo, okuwutshalomali oluthembekile konke konke.
Sichithe isikhathi esingaphezu kwamahora angu-15 socwaningo, futhi sachitha amahora angaphezu kuka-20 sihlanganisa, sihlinza futhi sihlola izimoto eziyi-13 ezibhalansi. Ngingumgibeli webhayisikili wezintaba impilo yonke. Ngabamba iqhaza emijahweni futhi ngasebenza njengomlungisi wamabhayisikili ngesikhathi sekolishi lami e-Athens, e-Georgia, futhi ngabhala izindatshana mayelana nemijaho yamabhayisikili asezintabeni nemijaho yamabhayisikili ye-VeloNews, Bike kanye ne-The New York Times (inkampani engumzali ka-Wirecutter) ) Ekuqaleni kweminyaka yami emithathu umsebenzi wobuntatheli. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lapho indodana yami ineminyaka engu-2 ubudala futhi ijabule kakhulu ukuthi ingakwazi ukugibela ibhayisikili layo elinyakazayo elalilikhulu kakhulu, ngalishintsha laba ibhayisikili elibhalansi ngokuqaqa amaphedali futhi nginamathisele isihlalo eshubhuni eliphezulu.
Kulo mhlahlandlela, ngixoxisane no-John Bradley, owayengumhleli oyinhloko wephephabhuku i-VeloNews, futhi ngaphambi kwalokho, umhleli wephephabhuku langaphandle. UBradley unendodana okuthiwa uMax. Usanda kuthweswa iziqu ze-Strider balance bike futhi kamuva washintshela kubhayisikili le-Islabikes Cnoc elingu-14-intshi. UBradley uzimisele ukugibela noMax futhi ubona imikhuba yakhe yokugibela esencane emehlweni kasosayensi. Ngiphinde ngakhuluma no-Toby Hill, owayengumhleli oyinhloko wephephabhuku le-Bicycle Retailer ngaleso sikhathi, ukuze ngiqonde indlela yokuthuthukiswa kwemakethe yamabhayisikili ezingane, futhi ngithole ukuhlakanipha okwengeziwe ngale ndaba ku-Marissa Guyduy, umkhulumeli wenhlangano. Iqembu le-NPD, inhlangano yoCwaningo lwabathengi, kanye noKatie Bruce, ngaleso sikhathi owayeyinhloko yezokukhangisa nokuxhumana ye-National Sporting Goods Association. Ngiphinde ngathumela i-imeyili ku-Ivan Altinbasak we-WeeBikeShop kanye no-Dave Norris wase-Woom.
Ngemva kokunquma ukuthi okungenani ibhayisikili elilodwa le-Strider lizoba yisinqumo sokugcina, ngiphinde ngakhuluma nomsunguli we-Strider uRyan McFarland ihora ocingweni. Njengosomabhizinisi abaningi bonjiniyela, uMcFarlane unentshisekelo ngokuziphatha nezici zabathengi bakhe-kulokhu, abazali nezingane kusukela ezisacathula kuya kubafundi bebanga lesibili kuya ezinganeni ezinezidingo ezikhethekile zayo yonke iminyaka, wenza amabhayisikili amakhulu ebhalansi.
Ibhayisikili elifanele lebhalansi lingavumela izingane ukuba zigcine ibhalansi emasondweni amabili ngesivinini esimangalisayo, ngisho noma zinezinyanga ezingu-18 kuphela ubudala, futhi kuyisinyathelo sokuqala esithakazelisayo sokufunda ukugibela ibhayisikili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma sebekwazi kahle, bangakwazi ukuligibela kahle ibhayisikili labo lokuqala. Ochwepheshe bethu basikisela ukuthi ukufunda ukugibela ibhayisikili kushintshile phakathi neminyaka (awasekho amasondo okuqeqesha), futhi ibhayisikili elibhalansi yisinyathelo sokuqala. Uma sebekwazi ukulinganisa, bazofunda ukusebenzisa ibhuleki lesandla, futhi ekugcineni bafunde ukunyathela, ukweqa amasondo okuziqeqesha ngokuphelele.
Izingane eziningi zidinga isikhuthazo esincane (nendawo eyisicaba, egandayiwe) ukuze ziqale ukugibela ibhayisikili elibhalansi. Ngaphandle kwalapho beqala ngokugibela imoto yokudlala noma isithuthuthu noma ukusunduza ibhayisekili elinamasondo amathathu, bangase bangacoshi ibhayisikili bahambe. Abazali abaningana bangitshele ukuthi ngisho noma izingane zabo zinamabhayisikili ebhalansi, ngeke ziwasebenzise nhlobo. Kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi bakhethe isikuta noma ibhayisikili elinamasondo amathathu. Abanye abazali, abavame ukuba nezingane ezikhuthele, ezithanda ukugijima, bathi benza umsebenzi omuhle emabhayisikili abhalansi, futhi bathola ukuthi angamathuluzi awusizo kakhulu okufunda ukushayela ibhayisikili.
Ibhayisikili elifanele lebhalansi lingagcina ingane enezinyanga ezingu-18 ibhalansile emasondweni amabili, okuyisinyathelo sokuqala esithakazelisayo sokufunda ukugibela ibhayisikili.
Sithinte u-Harry Sawyers no-Kalee Thompson, abahleli ababili be-Wirecutter abasebenza ngezindaba zezingane/zezingane. Bayangabaza ukuthi amabhayisikili abhalansi azoba yinsakavukela yini njengamabhayisikili afakwe amasondo okuqeqesha. KwaSawyers, zombili izingane zakhe zikhangwa ngamabhayisikili amathathu nama-scooters. Lapho ingane ingafuni nokuyigibela, akuwenzi umqondo ukuyiyeka ingane iqale ukugibela ibhayisekili elibizayo. Nokho, lokhu kwabuzwa uJohn Bradley, owathi, njengabantu abadala, izingane zivame ukufuna ukugibela amabhayisikili alula, asezingeni eliphezulu (lokhu kubonakale kulungile phakathi kwabahloli bethu). Uphinde waveza ukuthi amabhayisikili anjalo azothengiswa ngenani elikhulu ku-Craigslist, inqobo nje uma ephathwa kahle ukuze alenze libe wutshalomali olugayekayo.
Amabhayisikili okulinganisa anikeza izingane ithuba lokwakha ukusebenzelana, ibhalansi, imisipha yemilenze nokuzethemba ezikudingayo ukuze zigibele ibhayisikili.
Ngakho-ke kuthiwani ngokweqa ibhayisikili elibhalansi bese uqonda ngqo ebhayisikilini elincane (njengemodeli engu-16-intshi enamasondo asizayo)? Ochwepheshe basitshela ukuthi akufanelekile. Maduze izingane zizoyeka ukugibela amabhayisikili angu-12 intshi kanye namayintshi angu-14. Vumela izingane zakho ziqhubeke nokugibela amabhayisikili ebhalansi angama-intshi angu-12 noma amabhayisikili ayi-hybrid angu-14-intshi (anezigxobo zezihlalo ezilungisekayo nezibambo) kuze kube yilapho sezilungele okungenani ukuthi Ibhayisikili elinyakazayo elingu-16-intshi libe nempilo ende yesevisi.
Amabhayisikili okulinganisa aphinde anikeze izingane ezincane ithuba lokwakha ukuxhumanisa, ibhalansi, imisipha yemilenze kanye nokuzethemba ezikudingayo ukugibela ibhayisikili-uma uzivumela ukuba ziqale amasondo okuqeqesha, ngeke zikuthole konke lokhu. Ochwepheshe abaningi esike saxoxa nabo bayavuma ukuthi amasondo okuqeqesha enza ibhayisikili libe ibhayisikili eliyingozi elinamasondo amane futhi ngeke lifundise izingane ukulinganisela.
Ngichithe okungenani amahora ayi-10 ngicwaninga amabhayisikili ebhalansi ku-inthanethi, ngifunda i-Amazon nokunye ukubuyekezwa kuze kube yilapho amehlo ami equlekile, bese ngibheka i-Fakespot. Ngiphinde ngachitha amahora ambalwa ngenza ucwaningo oluningi "ngamasondo amabili". Ngathenga amabhayisikili ebhalansi ngasese esitolo sami sendawo e-Charleston, e-South Carolina nasesitolo se-REI e-Greenville, eNingizimu Carolina, futhi ngaqoqa imibono kochwepheshe bethu nabanye abahleli bamabhayisikili e-Wirecutter.
Ezifundweni zethu zokuhlolwa, sibuthe izingane ezifunayo zabangane bethu, okuhlanganisa u-Elle oneminyaka engu-2, u-Luke oneminyaka engu-6, kanye no-Fleet oneminyaka engu-7 ubudala e-Charleston, eNingizimu Carolina. Sazama ukuthola indodana yomunye umngane, u-Asher, osecela eminyakeni engu-2 ubudala, ukuba ahlole ibhayisikili, kodwa wasisiza saqaphela ukuthi amabhayisikili abhalansi awafaneleki kuzo zonke izingane (u-Asher ugibela ibhayisikili elinamasondo amathathu, uziphusha ebhodini lokushibilika ngamadolo. , ngokungesabi Wawa ngobuso bakhe kaninginingi, kodwa wayengafuni ukuba nento yokwenza nebhayisikili yebhalansi). U-River oneminyaka engu-3 ubudala ungumshayeli webhalansi onekhono ojoyine iqembu lethu ngokuzimisela. Indodana yami uFritz eneminyaka engu-8 ubudala ngokusobala ingaphezu kweminyaka nosayizi balo mhlahlandlela, kodwa ingama-intshi angu-51 ubude futhi inesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-55 (futhi ibhayisikili lakhe lentaba elingama-intshi angu-20 lithanda kakhulu i-monorail yendawo) futhi isakwazi ukuqhubeka nokuhamba. isilungiselelo esiphezulu. Ukuzulazula ngamabhayisikili ambalwa, futhi kuningi ongakusho mayelana nokuthi ungenzani ngisho namabhayisikili amancane kakhulu.
Sahlola amabhayisikili endaweni eyisicaba amasonto ambalwa. Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Elle oneminyaka engu-2 ubudala wasuka ekucindezelekeni kancane waya ekugijimeni ngokunethezeka. Siphinde sagijima umjaho we-sprint emigwaqweni yami egandaywe ngamatshe, futhi savakashela i-James Island County Park, lapho kukhona amamayela emigwaqo yamabhayisikili egandayiwe nengcolile, egudla amahlathi e-oki ambozwe ngo-moss kanye nosawoti waseForrest Gumpian emaphethelweni omgwaqo. ixhaphozi.
I-Strider 12 Sport iqinile, ayisindi futhi kulula ukuyihlanganisa, okuyenza ibe inketho engcono kakhulu elungisekayo ezinganeni ezisuka ezinyangeni eziyi-18 kuya kwengu-5 ubudala.
Ngemva kokuhlola amabhayisikili ebhalansi angu-13 ethandwa kakhulu emakethe, sanquma ukuthi ibhayisikili ye-Strider 12 yebhalansi yezemidlalo ihlanganisa zonke izinzuzo: ukwakheka kwengane, ukwakheka okuphezulu; ukukwazi ukukhokhela; ukusetshenziswa okubanzi; izimo zejometri ezifanele; abambalwa. Ingenye yamabhayisikili athengiswa kakhulu, futhi siyaqonda ukuthi kungani: kulula ukuhlanganisa cishe zonke ezinye izinketho zethu, inobubanzi obubanzi bokulungiswa kosayizi kunamanye amabhayisikili ethu, futhi iyathengeka. Ukusondeza ipayipi lensimbi eliqinile nelilula, okwenza isisindo sisonke sibe lula kakhulu, amaphawundi angu-6.7 kuphela. Hlanganisa konke lokhu nesevisi yamakhasimende esezingeni lokuqala nokusebenziseka okubanzi, futhi une-iMac yomhlaba wamabhayisikili abhalansi.
I-Strider 12 ifakwe kahle futhi ivikelwe ebhokisini uma ifika. Iphinde icishe ihlanganiswe emasondweni afakwe ngaphambili, amasondo aqiniswe ngokuphelele, ukuze akwazi ukujikeleza ngokukhululekile ngaphandle kwezikhala. Imiyalo yokuphrinta ne-inthanethi yesinyathelo ngesinyathelo ilula futhi ijabulisa, futhi ayikhungatheki. Ukuhlanganiswa kokugcina kuhilela ukufaka amabhushi enayiloni amaningana, okuhlanganisa amahedisethi okuqondisa aqinile futhi alula, bese uqinisa izinsimbi zokukhulula eziphakamisa futhi zehlise isihlalo nezibambo. Ama-lever akhulula ngokushesha anezikhala lapho kufanele ahlale khona. I-12 Sport iphinde ihambisane nomhlahlandlela onamakhasi ayisithupha othi “learning to ride”-otholakala nakuwebhusayithi enakekelwa kahle ka-Strider-ubeka ngokucacile indlela yokufundisa ingane yakho ukugibela ibhayisikili elibhalansi nokuthi ingane yakho ifunda kanjani ukulinganisela ngemuva. Isayensi, kanye nokwenza okuhle kakhulu kokushintsha ukusuka kubhayisikili elibhalansi ukuya ebhayisikilini.
Ngokwejiyomethri, iStrider 12 Sport ibhayisikili lezingane eliya phezulu phansi. Ngokungeziwe esisindweni sayo esilula, futhi inobude obuphansi kakhulu besinyathelo-ubude beshubhu yayo eyinhloko noma ephezulu-amayintshi angu-8. Lokhu kuyenza ibe ngeyesithathu ephansi phakathi kwamabhayisikili ethu okuhlola, alungele izingane ezineminyaka engu-2 ubudala. Kubagibeli abafushane, lokhu kuyisihluthulelo, ngoba kunzima kubo ukusebenzisa ama-jacks aphezulu ukuze baqondise ibhayisikili eliwile. (Khumbula ukuphoxeka nokuwa kokugibela ibhayisikili elaliphakeme kakhulu useyingane.)
Izibambo eziqondile zebhayisikili lentaba i-Strider zingamasentimitha angu-14.5 ububanzi nosayizi wezingane, okwenza ibhayisikili lizwele kakhulu, kuyilapho izibambo ezicijile ezinobubanzi obungu-2 kuya ku-2.5 amayintshi zifanele izingane ezincane. Njengamabhayisikili amaningi abhalansi athengiswa namuhla, isiphetho sesibambo sine-bulb, engavimbeli nje kuphela ukuthi i-torso ingabhobozwa isibambo esiphukile, kodwa futhi ivimbela ukuthinta ngokungenakugwemeka kwetshe noma umgwaqo kanye nokunwaya iminwe. Isihlalo esiwumngcingo sivumela ukufakwa nokususwa kalula, futhi sitsheke kancane ukusuka phambili ukuya emuva ukuze usize ingane yakho igcine isihlalo sehhashi. Ubuso bayo abushelelezi kakhulu futhi abunamatheli kakhulu, futhi yenziwe ngerabha eqinile kodwa ethambile nje ngokwanele. Leli bhayisikili lifakwe izihlalo ezimbili ezishintshashintsha kalula-enye emfushane (8.6 amayintshi) nesisodwa eside (11.5 amayintshi) -okuvumela ukulungiswa kobude ukusuka kumayintshi angu-11 kuye kwangu-20. Yilokhu esikuhlolile Uhla olubanzi kakhulu lwawo wonke amabhayisikili lubanzi kakhulu phakathi kwawo wonke amabhayisikili ebhalansi. Kuhlanganiswe nezibambo ezingaphakamisa cishe amayintshi angu-5 ngokwazo, unebhayisikili elincane umhloli wethu oneminyaka engu-2 ubudala kanye nendodana yami eneminyaka engu-8 ubudala angakwazi ukuyigibela kalula.
Idizayini esebenzayo yeStrider 12 Sport iyaqhubeka namasondo ayo epulasitiki angasindi kakhulu kanye namathayi enjoloba ayigwebu angaphefumuli. Sihlole amabhayisikili amaningana anamathayi ayigwebu futhi sathola ukuthi wonke amabhayisikili (kuhlanganise ne-Strider's) aphuma kalula kunamathayi enjoloba omoya ezindaweni ezibushelelezi ezifana nezitezi zokhuni noma zamathayela. Kodwa amasondo e-Strider abonakala enziwe ngento ethambile futhi ebambelela kakhulu kunamanye amabhayisikili ethu ayigwebu, esiza ukwehlisa ukushelela okuthile futhi akwazi ukuphatha kahle imigwaqo ewubhuqu enezikhisi. Abahloli bethu nabo bayawathanda amaphedali. Lapho bephakamisa izinyawo zabo futhi bezulazula futhi bezama ukweqa unogwaja, amaphedali ngokuyisisekelo amabhande okubambelela esitayela se-skateboard anamathiselwe ochungechungeni olude kancane olungemuva (imfoloko elungisa isondo elingemuva). Yokusikwa.
Izinkulungwane zabazali emhlabeni wonke (kusuka e-Japan ukuya e-United Kingdom kuya e-United States) bayayithanda i-Strider Cup yomkhiqizo, uchungechunge lwamabhayisikili abhalansi ompetha kazwelonke afanele izingane eziphakathi kweminyaka emi-2 nengu-5 ubudala. Akumangalisi ukuthi lawa mazinga aqhutshwa uFred Flintstone ayimibono yokudala yomsunguli we-Strider kanye nomgibeli oshisekayo we-motocross uRyan McFarland. I-zeitgeist yale mijaho iqoshwe kahle kule ndaba nevidiyo ngu-Jason Gay we-Wall Street Journal, "Ukuphela Komjikelezo Wokuqeqesha," lapho achaza khona ukuphambana komgwaqo phakathi kweSesame Street ne-Mad Max. Kule ndaba enhle yangaphandle, "emhlabeni ononya womjaho wamabhayisikili wezingane," indodana yombhali u-Ian Dier empeleni ibambe iqhaza emjahweni obikwe nguGuy.
I-Strider 12 Sport ayinayo ibhuleki lesandla elidonsa ngemuva-ilungele amabhayisikili ebhalansi. Nakuba ibhuleki lesandla lingelona usizo olukhulu kubagibeli bebhalansi abasaqalayo (eqinisweni, sikuthola kuyisithiyo ngezikhathi ezithile), uma ingane isikwazi ukuxhumanisa nolwazi oluyisisekelo lwe-“stride”, ibhuleki lesandla elilingana nengane liba yindawo ekahle. ukukhetha. Izingane eziningi zingakwazi ngempela ukumisa ibhayisikili elibhalansi egqumeni elithambile, zisebenzisa izinyawo zazo kuphela noma zivele zisuke ngemuva kwebhayisikili, kodwa ukumpintsha kahle kwebhuleki lesandla kungenza zime ngokushesha. I-Strider ithengisa i-add-on foot brake ngo-$20, engasiza futhi ukufundisa amasu okubhuleka ama-roller coaster. Lesi isici esibalulekile sokuphepha sendawo enamagquma, kodwa singathanda ukubona inketho yebhuleki lesandla.
Okunye okubi okubili amathayi amagwebu nezibambo eziwumngcingo ze-12 Sport. Nakuba sithole ukuthi ifomula yegwebu le-Strider inamathela ngokuqinile futhi ithambile kunamathayi egwebu e-Kazam noma kuBhanana, namanje ayikwazi ukunikeza ukudonsa noma ukuqina kwenjoloba yakudala evuthekayo. Impendulo esuka kubahloli bethu isiholele ekutheni singavumelani mayelana nezibambo eziwumngcingo ze-Strider: benze ibhayisikili lijike ngokushesha, kodwa abanye abahloli babone ukuthi kunzima kakhulu kubo ukugcina ibhalansi. Yize ama-crossbar ekwazi ukushintshwa kahle ngenxa yokuthi awagobile kodwa ngeke sikwazi ukuwatshekisa emadolweni ezingane ezindala njengeStrider 14 Sport neCo-op REV 12.
Lesi sikuta sebhalansi ye-aluminium sibiza kakhulu kunesikhethe kuqala futhi sinokulungiswa okuncane, kodwa sifakwe amathayi werabha womoya werabha abamba ukushaqeka afanele ukusetshenziswa endlini.
Uma ukukhetha kwethu okuphezulu kuthengisiwe, noma uma ufuna ukucushwa nokudonsa amathayi enjoloba, ikakhulukazi uma ugibela endlini noma emigwaqweni emibi, i-REI Co-op Cycles REV 12 Children's Balance Bike iyisinqumo esihle. Nakuba ngokuvamile kubiza u-$30 kune-Strider, sisathanda i-Srider geometry yebhayisikili, ukuhlangana kalula, isisindo esilula, izilungiselelo zamasondo kanye nenani eliphansi uma kuqhathaniswa, kanye nesithunzi se-REI.
Njenge-Strider 12 Sport, i-REV 12 inesinyathelo esiphansi kakhulu sokuphakama esingama-intshi angu-8 kuphela-isici esiyinhloko sebhayisikili ebhalansi-futhi ukuphakama kwayo kwesihlalo kungashintshwa phakathi kwama-intshi angu-13.5 no-18.5. Kukhona futhi “isibambo” esincane esihlanzekile ngemuva kwesihlalo abantu abadala abangasisebenzisa uma bethatha imoto. Nakuba izingane zethu ezincane zithanda i-Strider nezibambo zayo eziwumngcingo, abahloli bethu abakhulu bathanda izibambo ezibanzi kancane ze-Co-op (amayintshi angu-16.5 vs. 14.5 amayintshi) ukuze kube nokuqina okwengeziwe, futhi siyakwazisa ukusetshenziswa kwamasokhethi angu-hexagon Ikhono le-wrench ukushintsha. i-engeli yezibambo. Nakuba isigxobo singaphakanyiswa cishe amayintshi angu-2 ngesigxobo (futhi ukuphakama kuka-Strider cishe kungamayintshi angu-5), ukutshekisela isigxobo phezulu kunikeza i-intshi enguhhafu yobude eyengeziwe. Ububanzi balezi zinduku abuyi-intshi engu-1 ububanzi kunezinduku ze-Strider, futhi ukubamba kungama-intshi angu-3, kodwa nakanjani zilingana nosayizi wezingane.
I-REV 12 nayo ithole amaphuzu aphezulu ngoba kungase kube lula ukuyihlanganisa kune-Strider. Ngokuyisisekelo ihlanganiswe ngaphambilini. Vula isibambo endaweni efanele, uyiqinise ngokhiye u-Allen ofakiwe, bese ulungisa ubude bendawo yokuhlala, futhi ingane yakho ingaqala ukuginqika.
Yize amathayi ayo omoya, amasondo e-alloy, kanye nama-headphone aphethe ibhola ajwayelekile (futhi aqine kakhulu) ayenza ibe ngamakhilogremu angu-9 asindayo kuneStrider 12 Sport, iREV 12 isalula. Ingane yethu yokuhlola yasebenzisa amathayi womoya we-REV 12 ukukhiqiza isivinini esithe ukuba phezulu. Lawa amathayi ane-hemispherical futhi ahlinzeka kahle ngokudonsa ngaphandle komgwaqo. I-wheelbase yebhayisikili engu-24 inch iyafana neningi esikhetha ngayo, inika ibhayisikili ukuzinza nokuba bukhali. Isiqu se-valve yesondo sifakwe nekepisi yevalvu yokuphepha yengane-ungayiphusha bese uyiphendulela njengekepisi lokuphepha lengane ebhodleleni lephilisi-ukuvikela amathayi akho asacathula ekucabangeni ngephutha omisiwe. Izingane futhi ziyawathanda amaphekhi ezitika afika namabhayisikili—izinhlamvu, izinombolo, nemifanekiso yama-dinosaurs, izinyoni, onogwaja namarobhothi.
Izikhalo zethu: Kungaba kuhle ukuba nenketho yokuphuma ngokushesha kwesihlalo; besifuna i-pedal yonyawo elula engashibilika njenge-Strider; kanye nesiqu se-valve yesondo etshekile ukwenza isondo lifuthe kalula. Nakuba i-Rev 12 ilula kodwa ayilula futhi ayilula ukuyiphakamisa njengeStrider, ikakhulukazi uhhafu wangaphambili (ngenxa yokusinda kwama-earphone namasondo), futhi izingane zizoyinyakazisa ngokuphakamisa isibambo. Njenge-Strider, i-REV 12 ayinayo ibhuleki ngemuva, kodwa ngokungafani ne-Strider, ayinikezi inketho ye-brake yangemuva. Ngale ntengo, amabhuleki azoba isengezo esihle.
Noma kunjalo, ukulingana nokuqedwa kwe-REV 12 kusezingeni eliphezulu, kumnandi ukugibela, futhi ungathola ukwesekwa nokutholakala esitolo esiphathekayo se-REI naku-inthanethi, okwenza leli bhayisikili libe ukukhetha okuthembekile kwesipele.
Nakuba ingeyona into enhle njenge-Strider noma i-Co-op, leli bhayisikili elingasindi, elibuyela emuva lizovumela izingane eziningi ukuthi zisukume futhi zintweza ngokujabula - ngaphandle kokwephula isabelomali.
Sibheke amabhayisikili angu-20 ebangeni lentengo ngaphansi kwe-$ 100 futhi sanquma ukuthi ibhayisikili lesabelomali elingcono kakhulu lezingane eziningi luhlaka lwensimbi Ibhayisekili Lebhanana LT V2. Amabhayisikili amaningi aseduze nale ntengo, futhi ungase unciphise isisindo, ikhwalithi yengxenye, ukuhlanganisa kalula, kanye/noma ijometri. Kodwa leli bhayisikili elithengekayo elivela enkampanini encane yase-United Kingdom linikeza izingane ezisanda kuqala lokho esicabanga ukuthi kuyizici ezibaluleke kakhulu: ukuphakama okuphansi kokuma, i-geometry evumela izingane kanye nesisindo esincane ngaphandle kokuthinta abanye abaningi. Itholakala kalula kwa-Amazon futhi ikalwe kakhulu ku-Amazon. Ishoda ngempela ukulingana nokuqeda komzala wayo obizayo, ukwakhiwa kalula, amabhuleki kanye nezingxenye zekhwalithi.
Mayelana nejiyomethri, Ubhanana ufana kakhulu ne-runner-up Co-op Cycles REV 12. Uhlaka olugobile luklanywe kahle futhi ukuphakama kwesitebhisi kuphansi kakhulu, kuphela ama-intshi angu-8.5. Izibambo zezibambo zilingana nengane, zinesekelo yesibambo esingu-3.5 amayintshi, futhi isihlalo sitholakala ncamashi onqenqemeni lukasayizi omkhulu ongu-5.5 x 8 amayintshi odingwa izingane. Ungakwazi ukuphakamisa nokwehlisa isihlalo kalula ngesibambo sokukhulula ngokushesha, kusukela ebuncaneni obungu-12.25 amayintshi ukuya kubukhulu obungamayintshi angu-15.5 (ubude obukhulu bufushane kunokukhetha kwethu okuyinhloko nokuphuma isibili), futhi ungakwazi ukuphakamisa isibambo ngamayintshi angu-3. Amathayi egwebu akhanya kakhulu kabhanana namasondo asebenza kahle ezindaweni ezigandayiwe nezinokhaphethi, kodwa ayashelela ekhishini elinoleum nasezindaweni zokhuni oluqinile.
