how did it originate
Inspiration in StarWarsConstruction of a human
operated diwheel
mechanical design + some of the electronics was completed in 2009
control systems developed in 2010
specifications
Pair of motor-driven wheel rings (1 on each side)Seat for driver between wheels with 5pointed beltsEDWARD is pure electricMotors in the wheels controlled by a joystickInbuilt dynamic lateral stability and slosh controlTouch screen panel for settings
Top speed is about 40km/hrMaximum Incline 12 degreesBattery life about 1h with aggressive driving style
exceptional
1st easy to use & really works
Cool eco-friendly vehicle (DWs in the past human powered or powered by IC
engines, this one purely electric)
Perfect urban transport vehicle
