As one of the few companies in China that really master the core technology, TSINOVA, a light passenger, recently launched its second product, Smart Motorcycle TF0 1. Compared with the previous generation products, its biggest advantage is that it supports folding and is more compact and lightweight. After folding, it only accounts for 0.2 cubic meters, and the weight of the whole vehicle is only 14 kg. Can be carried at any time, used for office, consumption or leisure, and easy to place and store. It is still equipped with VeloUP intelligent power system exclusively developed by light passengers, which can sense the riding intention, automatically judge the road conditions, and output different auxiliary power in real time under the conditions of starting, uphill, headwind and acceleration, so that you can ride easily. In addition, its battery life reaches 30-50km, the speed can reach 25km/h, and it only takes 2 hours to charge.

If you want to know quickly whether a light motorcycle is worth buying, after reading the following questions, I believe the answer will naturally come out!
First, why buy an electric bicycle when you have an electric motorcycle?
Many people around me have an opinion, why not buy an electric motorcycle like Mavericks for 3000-4000 yuan? Comparatively speaking, it is faster, has longer battery life and is more labor-saving. The following are the reasons summarized by the author:
1. First of all, their positioning is completely different. One is a pure means of transportation, and the other has many functions such as leisure, fitness and transportation. Among them, electric motorcycles are basically the same in appearance and operation as traditional refueling motorcycles, and can be seamlessly switched for users who originally owned motorcycles. However, there is still a difference between charging and refueling. For example, every time my colleague's electric car is charged, a long wire has to be connected from the third floor to the downstairs. It is really troublesome to pay attention to it at all times during the charging process. Electric moped can be regarded as an ordinary bicycle with power-assisted function. Suitable for short-distance walking and fitness, and the charging method is also very flexible. Take this light passenger TF0 1 as an example, and the vehicle weight is 14 kg. It won't be too difficult for adults to carry upstairs.
2. Electric motorcycles will also encounter the problem of motorcycle restrictions in many places in China (especially in Guangdong). If they don't have a license, they may be confiscated, but electric bicycles don't have this problem.
3. In terms of mobility, we should know that the weight of electric motorcycles is generally above 50 kg at present, and it is quite difficult for ordinary people to lift them. When they meet steps and wading sections, they can only stare blankly. The latest folding electric moped can be said to be an all-explosive electric motorcycle, weighing about 14kg. We can take it upstairs, take the bus and subway, or even put it in the trunk of the car.
4. Another thing that can't be ignored is safety. At present, electric vehicles have become one of the most fatal accidents in the world, and every accident is a hidden danger. As long as the speed is 40 miles per hour, it is a mobile bomb, and no amount of protective measures are meaningful. However, electric bicycles are not. At present, the speed limit of most products is 25 km/h. When the speed exceeds the speed limit, the power-assisted system automatically stops running to avoid unnecessary safety hazards.
Second, what kind of people are electric bicycles suitable for?
Theoretically, as long as there is travel demand, everyone can ride ordinary bicycles, and they are all potential users of light motorcycles. But the author's point of view is determined according to the needs. For example, as a means of transportation for urban office workers, it is recommended that users within 15km choose it, because it can significantly improve the riding experience and avoid wasting more time on the road. Of course, if your main purpose is fitness, leisure and entertainment, don't hesitate at all. There is nothing wrong with choosing it.
Third, how is electric power assisted?
To fully explain the principle, it may take a paper of tens of thousands of words, so the author briefly summarizes that the emergence of electric power-assisted bicycles is to solve the problem of riding fatigue, so people still need to pedal, and then let electricity intervene to make riding labor-saving and easy. For example, today's light passenger folding motorcycle TF0 1 is inspired by the hybrid technology of automobiles. It senses the user's riding data through the triple sensors of torque, pedaling frequency and speed, and uses innovative bionic algorithm to read the user's riding intention, so as to judge the real-time road conditions, provide just the right assistance, and make riding easy and enjoyable.
4. What is a light passenger electric bicycle? Which is more worth buying than Xiaomi?
In the field of electric bicycle, Xiaomi is an unavoidable and unavoidable topic. Compared with Xiaomi's products, at first glance, there is not much difference between the two products, both of which can provide riding assistance, and also support folding and portability, even the design and size are not much different. However, there are still some differences between the two. First, in terms of the technical principle of power assistance, the triple sensor of light passenger definitely has more advantages than TMM torque sensing technology of Xiaomi, which is reflected in the fact that light passenger can give power assistance in time when starting, and the start is smoother, especially when starting uphill. However, we should also see that Xiaomi is more refined and humanized in some details, such as the addition of Shimano transmission, which makes up for the delay of the power-assisted system, has an advantage in speed and is closer to the riding experience of sports bicycles. In addition, Xiaomi has the advantages of front and rear nightlight, driving recorder and battery support for plug-in charging. The price of 2999 yuan is much cheaper than that of light passengers.
So in the end, the author's point of view is that if we pay more attention to the riding itself and the experience in the process, light passengers are a better choice. And if you often ride a bike, Xiaomi may be easier to get started. At the same time, because there are more functions that can be adjusted independently and the speed of bicycles is faster, Xiaomi is more inclined to be chosen by sports enthusiasts.
Having said that, let's get to the point and bring a detailed evaluation experience part.
Appearance and folding mode
First of all, in terms of appearance, Smart Motorcycle TF0 1, a light passenger folding model, is small and light, and innovatively adopts the minimalist design of "parallel rear fork structure", which can not only effectively avoid the direct impact of the seat, but also achieve the shock absorption effect, bringing you a comfortable riding experience and a brand-new visual experience.
