preface

If we talked about the electric balance car two or three years ago, we might not be familiar with it. It still appears more in movies and TV dramas. Now, the electric balance car has obviously entered the lives of more people. Especially since last year, the domestic electric balance car market has had a big explosion. Not only the number of balance cars is increasing, but also the types are becoming more and more diverse. However, the number of balance cars remains the same. They are still dominated by single or two wheels. Through the gyroscope and acceleration sensor inside the car body, the change of car body attitude is detected. Through the internal coordination processing system, the corresponding motor is precisely driven to achieve the balanced and stable movement of people and cars. But this time, the Flywheel Weir I Cloud Car, known as a portable body car, will focus on what are the similarities and differences and unique advantages compared with ordinary electric balance cars.

Flywheel Weir Xiaoi is famous

There are also many domestic manufacturers of electric balance cars, but I'm afraid that when it comes to CCTV news, it's "F-WHEEL Flywheel Will". As a high-tech company integrating production, R&D and sales, Flywheel Weir is mainly involved in the R&D and sales of intelligent transportation products, intelligent travel systems and transportation robots, aiming to make travel simple and happy. There have been Dolphin One and Red Rabbit series electric balance cars before, and the praise won is needless to say, while Weir Xiaoi, the flywheel, received a special report from CCTV News on December 8, 2015 when he was about to make his world debut.

At first sight, it's really different

Electric balance cars have been seen in parks, squares, various exhibitions and even auto shows before, but most of them are like the electric wheelbarrow "Flywheel Will", Xiao I's brother. Seeing others' cycling is all kinds of cool and cool. I will worry about the difficulty of riding a balance bike when I envy them. It's hard to get started easily.

The flywheel Weir Xiaoi adopts a flat panel design, with a vehicle weight of 5.5KG, which can be placed in a backpack, and also has a portable handle, which is small and portable. Through the four wheel support and transmission at the bottom, it is more stable and flexible. It is said that 3 minutes is easy to learn. At the same time, it has a maximum speed of 12KM/H and a range of 15KM.

At first sight, the outer package of the flywheel Weir I is much smaller than that of ordinary electric balance cars. In the simple package lies Xiaoi, who is not simple, quietly. The outer package of Xiaoi is natural color corrugated cardboard, without dazzling color plastic packaging. It is simple and fashionable, which is my favorite style.

The side of Xiaoi's packing box is marked with various basic parameters in detail. As a portable experience car, I pay more attention to the product weight, with a net weight of 5.5KG and a gross weight of 6.4KG. For an electric experience car, it is really light to the extreme. The slim figure can bear a maximum weight of 120KG and support a maximum speed of 12KM/H.

The packing box adopts the popular cover type structure design when it is opened, which avoids the tape sealing and reduces the pollution to the environment. The plastic handle is designed on the packing box, which is convenient to carry.

In the packing box, Xiaoi and all accessories, instructions and warranty cards are safely lying in the thick high-density white plastic, and there is no need to worry about the violent transportation of express delivery.

All accessories of Xiaoi: Xiaoi cloud car, charger, battery, manual warranty card, storage bag.

Xiaoi has two colors: porcelain white and dazzling night black. This trial is white, wearing a porcelain white coat with ICARBOT cartoon font LOGO. The black part of the panel is the pedal position, which is made of anti-skid plastic. The overall texture is very strong. There is no lack of solemnity in simplicity, and black and white are matched with relaxation. Inside the fuselage, there are high-precision pressure sensors and drive power control circuits, which together form the small I's brain and cerebellum, ensuring the small I's stable and safe operation. The thickness of Xiaoi is only 106mm. Its thin body is not only convenient to carry, but also reduces the weight of the body. More importantly, it can effectively reduce the center of gravity when riding, so as to ensure stable operation and the safety of riders. With a slim size and a weight of 5.5KG, it doesn't appear obtrusive when put into the backpack, the trunk or even the foot of the car seat.

The bottom of Xiaoi is all black. It adopts a four-wheel design with two driving wheels and two universal rotating wheels. Compared with the traditional electric balance vehicle, it has more support, and the four-wheel ride is more stable and safe.

Brief analysis of details and attention everywhere

1. The foot pedal is not only anti slip, but also has a high-precision sensor at the lower part.

The antiskid pedal of Xiao i has a moderate area and can basically adapt to the size of feet. When the rider stands on the pedal, the pressure of the body and the sole of the foot can trigger the pressure sensor under the pedal.

2. Small i's charging and endurance.

Xiaoi is equipped with 4400mAh high-density lithium battery cell and smart charger, which can be fully charged in 2 hours. The high-density battery pack is relatively small, but with the intelligent battery management system, it can still provide small i with a driving force of up to 15KM.

At the same time, Xiaoi adopts a separate battery compartment design, which makes it convenient for users to select battery packs for alternate use and provides longer endurance.

Another detail is that the charging port is handled by automatic rebound buckle, while the charging wire plug supports a Type-C interface similar to that of the front and back plug, which is particularly considerate.

3. The front and rear lights not only decorate the body, but also have the function of driving warning and vehicle status reminding.

Xiaoi's front body has 15 adjustable LED bulbs to form an arc atmosphere light. The atmosphere light can be colored through the mobile phone APP, which is suitable for personalized you. In addition, the front light can also display information such as power, and can also act as a driving warning light when riding.

The rear body of Xiaoi also has two orange tail lights in trapezoidal shape, which are integrated by eight LED bulbs respectively. When the balance car turns, the corresponding tail lights will flash. The front and rear lights not only decorate the body, provide good driving warnings, but also display the running status of the vehicle.

Display of front and rear lights during cycling

4. The handle groove and the switch key are set for the convenience of users.

A power switch button is set on the left side of Xiaoi, and the button surface is flush with the power switch retaining ring; The chamfering treatment of the retaining ring makes it naturally transition to the side of the fuselage. The chrome plating treatment on the surface of the retaining ring and button not only embellishes the fuselage, but also instantly improves the appearance of the whole machine. At the lower left, there is also a portable groove. Due to the longitudinal length of the car body, the handle length of Xiaoi is small, but it can also easily put down four fingers. Users can easily grasp and carry Xiaoi, and the position of the power switch is just the place where the thumb touches when carrying Xiaoi. When carrying Xiaoi, it can easily switch on and off the power of the whole machine. The details of the drip design make it more convenient and comfortable for users to use.

5. The bottom details of Xiaoi are safe and stable.

Xiaoi adopts four-wheel design to ensure stable and safe operation.

The bottom sticker is not only the interpretation of parameters, but also the analysis of Xiaoi's core competence. In the sticker, in addition to the information such as the product weight bearing and maximum speed of the same standard on the outer package, it also shows that the working voltage and charging voltage of Xiaoi are both lower than 30V, far lower than the safe voltage of 36V. Of course, the electrical safety of Xiaoi is reassuring. Of course, in addition to these parameters, the APP can also download QR codes and warning signs.

The front wheel of the small I cloud car is the driving wheel, and the built-in DC brushless motor injects power for riding. The hub is made of stainless steel, the surface is concentric circle reticulated, and the logo of the flywheel Weir is etched in the middle, which makes the overall texture exquisite, while the tread is made of high-quality rubber with uniform patterns.

The rear universal auxiliary wheel of Xiaoi is a black nylon wheel surface, which is made of thick high-strength steel and is equipped with shock absorption damping spring. This not only ensures the stability of the structure and the flexibility of steering, but also effectively reduces vibration and improves riding comfort. The four wheels of the mini cloud car are designed to be more stable and safe. However, due to the small diameter of the wheels, Xiao I has a little difficulty riding on uneven and bumpy roads.

Free riding - easy to learn, safe, stable and fun

Compared with single wheel and two wheel electric balance vehicles, it takes a long time and more energy to learn, and the four wheel flat design of Xiao I is relatively simple and easy to learn. However, before riding, you still need to make some preparations for riding: ① fully charge small I and install the battery pack; ② Be familiar with the instructions of the vehicle and master the key points of riding. ③ According to the instructions, place Xiaoi flat on the ground, step on two feet one after the other, wait for a few seconds after the feet stand still, and then Xiaoi starts to start after it beeps. The rider adjusts the deviation of the body's center of gravity, transmits it to Xiaoi's central coordination system through the pressure sensor under the foot, and drives the motor to complete the travel and steering.

Really learn in three minutes?

When I got on the bus for the first time, I was a little nervous. I opened my hands a little subconsciously to keep balance. After a minute or two of riding, I could walk steadily. With a little practice, I could not only run smoothly, but also turn skillfully. I could learn in three minutes, which was really not a cover!

Various kinds of riding after skilled riding are shown in the dynamic diagram:

A small driving experience to share with you

If you want to control Xiaoi easily, you must read the instructions carefully and operate according to the instructions, adjust and maintain the center of gravity and body balance, and when you need to adjust the center of gravity of your body in straight travel, turning, circling in place, braking, reversing, etc., you must give Xiaoi a clear and gentle command instead of a hurried command. If you do this, With Xiaoi's intelligence, he will give you the perfect feedback you want quickly. In a word, when Xiao I takes you fast, it must be when you understand him and he understands you; To achieve a perfect human-computer interaction and human-computer integration.

Demonstration of free riding application scenarios

The outdoor plastic riding track is also the best choice for beginners. The friction coefficient of the plastic track is moderate, which helps beginners control speed and direction.

In summer, there are more pedestrians walking on the concrete road beside the river in the evening. After skilled riding, it is no problem to control Xiaoi to deal with complex scenes. In addition, it has to be mentioned that the popularity of Xiaoi has exploded after driving it, and it can attract people's attention everywhere. It also attracts people to chat up Xiaoi. If you are still a single dog, it is very suitable to use Xiaoi as a magic tool for younger sister.

  The bluestone trail with a gradient of about 15 degrees is used to test Xiao I's ability to ride on the ramp. After mastering the riding skills, it is no problem to drive Xiao I up and down the ramp on a slightly gentle road.

Xiaoi can easily cope with the above riding scenes. In order to test Xiaoi's power, I challenged the fixed gravel trail. On the gravel road, the turbulence is severe, and the cyclist needs to have a high balance and control ability.

Through the test of Xiaoi on climbing and uneven fixed gravel roads, although the power of Xiaoi is only 260W, less than half of that of electric vehicles, Xiaoi has a high power utilization rate, which is subject to the driving wheel diameter. The climbing ability and uneven and bumpy roads will have some limitations, but the smaller wheel diameter will bring more flexible turns, and can almost achieve 360 ° rotation in situ, Playability is still high.

ICARBOT intelligent application, "intelligence" in cycling

This is an era of intelligence. Naturally, our small cloud car also supports intelligent control. Flywheel Weir has created an ICARBOT intelligent application for small cloud cars, which supports the connection of small cloud cars through Bluetooth, and realizes vehicle sensor calibration and adjustment, operation mode, speed, lights and other personalized settings, as well as vehicle power and temperature monitoring.

In addition, in the app's children's riding mode, it also supports mobile phones to control the small i, and with the support of smart apps, the small i can become a smart cloud bike and "smart" is riding.

summary

Flywheel Weir Xiaoi makes people fall in love with it at a glance with its slim body, elegant shape and super high appearance; Xiaoi ensures the stability and safety of riding with its four-wheel design, and brings freedom and "intelligence" in riding fun with quick and intelligent response intelligent control, large endurance, multiple road application scenarios and intelligent APP.
