After briefly arranging today's itinerary with his parents, Wu Xiaozhong turned the Kyushu mini shift knob.
Switch the gear to reverse gear and tap lightly with your toes.
Different from the roaring sound of the engine, there was a buzzing sound of the motor running.
The sound is smaller than that of a normal car engine, but it still feels full of power!
I drove the car from a large area of Kyushu Minis waiting to pick up the car to the avenue.
Then turn the knob again to switch forward gear.
With another tap of his toes, the electric car sped forward in an instant.
The advantages of electric motors are more fully demonstrated in the front-end power.
"Hey, this feels pretty good!" Wu Xiaozhong couldn't help but said in surprise.
It’s not like most uncles and aunts who have never driven a car. As a person who likes cars very much, Wu Xiaozhong drives a lot of cars.
Not only the cars I own, but also many of my friends’ cars have been driven, ranging from domestic cars worth tens of thousands of yuan to luxury brands worth hundreds of thousands.
I don’t say that I am proficient in everything, but I have at least experienced the different driving experiences of twenty or thirty cars.
Generally speaking, today's domestic cars are still far behind joint venture cars.
But this kind of electric car gave him a different feeling. The loose chassis that he originally thought did not appear.
On the contrary, it looks very upright, and in terms of power, there is no situation like some cars where the engine roars but the car doesn't move.
"There is actually an illusion that motivation is always at hand!"
"The driving quality is much better than that of domestic cars costing tens of thousands of dollars."
On the not very long road inside the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, Wu Xiaozhong lightly stepped on his right foot, and the speed of the car increased in a short period of time.
But what followed was that the car had maintained a top speed of just over 40 per hour.
"But this is just a low speed. If you accelerate a little bit, the shortcomings of insufficient power in the rear section will be completely exposed."
Wu Xiaozhong said with a little regret.
“The power of the front section is not inferior to that of some large-displacement ordinary cars, but it is limited to speeds above 40.
When the vehicle speed reaches more than 40, even if the accelerator is pressed to the bottom, the vehicle speed still remains at more than 40. "
It's actually similar to some electric two-wheelers. When you first start, just twist the accelerator and the speed will increase.
But when the speed limit of this motor is reached, no matter how much you turn the throttle, it won't help.
However, as a scooter for the elderly, it only travels around the city. The speed of about 40 is enough, and it does not need to be too high for long-distance driving.
And low speed also has the advantage of low speed. Even if the accelerator is pressed to the bottom, in the event of an accident, as long as it does not collide with those high-speed cars, it will not cause too much damage.
Especially compared to motorcycles, safety is greatly improved!
It's like it's specially designed for seniors.
And it is still very good to drive. If you have the conditions to get one and drive it, it will feel good.
When you go out to buy groceries, you can carry more groceries than riding a scooter, and you are not afraid of wind, sun, rain, or even some larger vegetable markets. You can drive directly into the market to buy things!
In addition to uncles and aunts, it would also be nice to drive for some women.
For younger men, it is also very good for the rich to buy it as a toy car to play with.
For example, Wu Xiaozhong is reluctant to get off the road after two laps on the not-so-long road!
Big cars have the advantages of big cars. This small electric car is actually good to drive, flexible and easy to park.
"Unfortunately, if it cannot be used as a normal car, it is not a good idea if you need to go to a farther place for work."
"Perhaps there will be more powerful technology in the future that can shorten the charging time, increase the cruising range, and run faster. It is not impossible for such a car to be used as the main force!"
I drove it twice and had a brief experience.
Finally, under his father's impatient gaze, Wu Xiaozhong sat in the passenger seat.
"Next, dad, you drive, and I'll hold the line for you next to you!"
"The left side is the brake, and the right side is the accelerator. You should step on the accelerator slightly and slowly increase the speed."
Dad patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your dad and I have been riding motorcycles for more than ten years. This is a piece of cake. Besides, I have driven Lao Li's car before!"
While talking, under the driving of my father, the vehicle slowly moved and drove smoothly on this short road.
From time to time, I met Kyushu Minis driven by other old men and women around me, but I still didn't seem panicked at all!
Dad wasn't bragging, his driving skills were indeed much better than Wu Xiaozhong expected.
In this case, make it more difficult!
After driving more than a dozen times on the short driveway inside the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, under the guidance of Wu Xiaozhong, this top-of-the-range Jiuzhou mini car drove into the driving range with many vehicles.
After arriving at the driving range, my father seemed a little panicked.
The lanes here are not as wide as the lanes outside, and it is even possible to encounter two or three vehicles meeting each other at the same time.
But after a little panic, Dad was still able to hold on!
After slowly moving and meeting a dozen old cars driven by uncles and aunties, things became much smoother.
As expected of an experienced driver, although motorcycles and cars are slightly different, they also have a lot in common.
The accelerator and brake control are skillful, and the direction of rotation distance can be felt naturally after being familiar with it. How much angle needs to be turned and how much the vehicle will shift left and right.
In less than an hour, I was able to quickly shuttle through the traffic, and then the progress reached the final level.
Reversing into garage and side parking!
Thanks to the compact body and reversing radar, a simulated garage built according to the length and width of a normal garage is much larger for this small car.
As long as you find the right direction and a little bit of skill, you can put it into storage in one go.
Much more convenient than those cars!
However, after all, the test content is a bit more complicated, under the guidance of Wu Xiaozhong and the coaches outside the car.
In the past two hours, my father has mastered the skills of reversing into the garage and parking on the side, and he can do it in one go.
With such an effect, it is basically enough for use.
After all, it's not a real exam, and you don't need to pour it in all at once in subsequent use scenarios. You can still move it if you can't get in.
It took several hours and it was already noon.
Park the vehicle next to the designated parking area for Laotou Le, and use the charging cable specially pulled from the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory to charge.
After eating a delicious lunch box that cost ten yuan a portion, the family studied traffic safety regulations for a few hours.
The instructor personally explained how to drive safely on the road, how to use the turn signal, and how to turn on the turn signal in advance to alert the vehicles ahead and behind you.
How do you look at traffic lights on the road? When there is only one light, you can turn right when the light is red, but when there is a clear sign prohibiting right turns, you cannot turn right.
Double solid lines on the ground, one-sided dotted lines, single dotted lines, their respective meanings, etc.
It can be said to be quite attentive!
And dad is also very serious about studying!
Muttering to himself from time to time.
"Oh, so that's what this light is about. I asked why other cars kept honking at me when I was riding a motorcycle."
“When encountering another car, should you turn off the high beam and turn it into low beam? This is something you really need to remember.
When riding a motorcycle, I especially hate cars that use high beams. The lights are so bright that people can't see the road at all.
Can't be the kind of driver I hate! "
. . . . . . . .
During the two or three hours of rest, I learned most of the common road safety and traffic regulations, and then my father started practicing driving again.
I haven’t practiced for long this time, and I have mastered test subjects such as reversing into a garage and side parking, not to mention right-angle turns, starting on slopes, etc., without any problems!
After feeling almost done, Wu Xiaozhong said to his father in the car.
"Then let's go home next. Mom will take my car. Dad, you can just follow me in the car. Be careful, you can't do it when the speed increases."
"It's no problem. When the motorcycle speeds up, you can't suddenly turn the handle in many directions. I feel like I can drive back on my own!"
Wu Xiaozhong drove a Passat and led his mother to clear the road ahead at a speed of more than 40 mph. His father followed closely behind in the Kyushu Mini he bought today.
It took nearly three hours to complete a distance of more than 100 kilometers and return to my home in the next city.
Under dad's skillful control, Kyushu Mini skillfully reversed into the garage and parked it in his own garage.
Right in the middle, no more or less on the left or right, no more or less on the front or rear, everything is just right!
"Only 30% of the battery is left, charge it quickly!" Dad excitedly found the power strip and took out the charging gun to refuel his car.
As for Wu Xiaozhong, he could only drive his car and park it on the side of the road.
"There's nothing I can do. There's only one garage in the house. It seems like he won't be able to park his Passat in the future."
With a little regret, after Wu Xiaozhong returned home, he happened to see his father with a happy face, calling to show off to his familiar friends.
"Old Liu, if you have time to go for a ride, my son gave me a Kyushu Mini to drive!
You don’t even know about Kyushu Mini. It’s a very popular car now. It’s much better than riding a motorcycle. Let’s go out and drive together when we have time! "
The happy smile on his face can’t be concealed at all!
Such a scene made him suddenly feel a sense of déjà vu.
Once upon a time, my father worked hard to earn money and bought him a favorite remote-controlled toy car, which made him look very impressive in front of the children. . . . .
Now I have grown up, but my parents are also old.
Every time I go home during the Chinese New Year, my parents’ faces have changed a lot.
Her hair went from black to now gray, and her skin went from shiny to now dull.
Maybe it’s time to consider returning to your hometown to work. Although the salary is much lower, it is more important to be able to stay with your parents and family.
You grow up with me, and I grow old with you!
