Imililo eyingozi ebangelwaiibhetri ze-lithium-ionKwi-e-bikes, ii-scooters, ii-skateboards kunye nezinye izixhobo kwenzeka ngakumbi eNew York.

I-THE CITY ibike ukuba kukho imililo engaphezu kwama-200 enje eqhume kwisixeko kulo nyaka. Kwaye kunzima kakhulu ukuyilwa, ngokutsho kwe-FDNY.

Isebe litshilo ukuba izicimi-mlilo eziqhelekileyo zasekhaya azisebenzi ukucima imililo yebhetri ye-lithium-ion, kwaye namanzi awenzi njalo — nto leyo, njengakwimililo yamafutha, enokubangela ukuba amalangatye asasazeke. Amalangatye ebhetri aqhumayo akhupha umsi onobuthi kwaye anokuvuselela emva kweeyure okanye iintsuku.

IZIXHOBO NOKUTSHAJISA

• Thenga iimveliso eziqinisekiswe liqela lovavanyo lokhuseleko lomntu wesithathu. Eyona ixhaphakileyo yi-Underwriters Laboratory, eyaziwa nge-UL icon yayo.
• Sebenzisa kuphela itshaja eyenzelwe ibhayisekile yakho ye-elektroniki okanye izixhobo. Musa ukusebenzisa iibhetri okanye iitshaja ezingaqinisekiswanga okanye ezisetyenzisiweyo.
• Faka iitshaja zebhetri ngqo kwiplagi yodonga. Musa ukusebenzisa iintambo zokwandisa okanye iintambo zombane.
• Musa ukushiya iibhetri zingenamntu xa utshaja, kwaye musa ukuzitshaja ubusuku bonke. Musa ukutshaja iibhetri kufutshane nemithombo yobushushu okanye nantoni na evuthayo.
• Le mephu yesikhululo sokutshaja ngombane evela kurhulumente inokukunceda ufumane indawo ekhuselekileyo yokutshaja ibhayisekile yakho ye-elektroniki okanye i-moped ukuba une-adaptha yamandla nezixhobo ezifanelekileyo.

UKULUNGISWA, UKUGCINWA NOKULAHLWA

• Ukuba ibhetri yakho yonakele nangayiphi na indlela, fumana entsha kumthengisi othembekileyo. Ukutshintsha okanye ukulungisa iibhetri kuyingozi kakhulu kwaye kunokunyusa umngcipheko womlilo.
• Ukuba ungqubana nebhayisekile yakho okanye isikuta, tshintsha ibhetri eqhunyiweyo okanye etyunyuziweyo. Njengezigcina-ntloko zebhayisekile, iibhetri kufuneka zitshintshwe emva kwengozi nokuba azibonakali zonakele.
• Gcina iibhetri kubushushu begumbi, kude nemithombo yobushushu kunye nantoni na enokutsha.
• Gcina ibhayisekile yakho ye-elektroniki okanye isikuta kunye neebhetri kude neendawo zokuphuma kunye neefestile xa kutsha.
• Ungaze ubeke ibhetri enkunkuma okanye ekusetyenzisweni kwayo. Kuyingozi — kwaye akukho mthethweni. Soloko uyizisa kwiziko elisemthethweni lokusetyenziswa kwakhona kwebhetri.
