Me tiaki tonu ngā pahikara hiko, pērā i ngā pahikara katoa. Mā te horoi me te tiaki i tō pahikara hiko ka pai, ka whai hua, ka haumaru hoki te oma, ā, ka roa ake te ora o te pākahiko me te motuka.
E whakamārama ana tēnei aratohu me pēhea te tiaki i tō pahikara hiko, tae atu ki ngā tohutohu mō te horoi i te pahikara, te paninga hinu whakahinuhinu, te tirotiro i ngā wāhanga i ia wā, ngā whakahōutanga pūmanawa me ngā taupānga, me te tiaki i te pākahiko.
Kei te whakaaro koe ki te hoko i tētahi pahikara hiko? Mā tā mātou aratohu pahikara hiko koe e āwhina ki te whiriwhiri i te pahikara e pai ana ki a koe. Kua arotakehia e ngā tohunga whakamātautau o BikeRadar ngā tini pahikara hiko, nō reira ka taea e koe te whakawhirinaki ki ā mātou arotake pahikara hiko.
I roto i ngā āhuatanga maha, kāore he rerekētanga o te tiaki i ngā pahikara hiko i te tiaki i ngā pahikara tuku iho. Heoi, ko ētahi wāhanga, inā koa ko te pūnaha tuku (ngā cranks, ngā mekameka, me ngā sprockets), ka taea te tu atu i ngā kaha nui ake me te whakanui ake i te pakaru.
Nō reira, ki te hiahia koe ki te whakamahi pai i tō pahikara, he mea nui kia horoia tō pahikara hiko i ngā wā katoa, kia mau tonu hoki te tiaki pai.
Tuatahi, he pahikara harikoa te pahikara ma. Ka nui ake te pakaru o ngā wāhanga i te paru me te paru. Ina konatunatua ki te wai me te hinu, ka puta he whakapiri. Ko te take pai ko te whakaiti i te whai huatanga o te pahikara, ā, ko te take kino ko te tere o te pakaru o ngā wāhanga e pakaru ana.
Ka maeneene ake te oma o tō pahikara hiko, ka nui ake te whai huatanga me te roa ake o te ora o ngā wāhanga matua.
Kia ma te pūnaha taraiwa, kia pai hoki te rere: Ki te mirimiri, ki te pekepeke hoki ō taputapu, kāore he pānga o te roa o te pākahiko me te putanga hiko. Mā te eke pahikara me te pūnaha taraiwa ma, whai hua, me ngā taputapu kua whakatikatikaina tika ka nui ake te wheako, ā, i te wā roa, ka āwhina i a koe ki te whakamahi pai i tō pahikara.
Mena he tino paru te āhua o tō pūnaha taraiwa (he para pango te nuinga o te wā e puranga ana i runga i te mekameka, inā koa i runga i ngā pahikara maunga hiko, kei reira te paru e piri ana ki te wira ārahi o te derailleur o muri), ka taea e koe te horoi wawe ki te kakahu, ki te whakamahi rānei i te kaihoroi hinu. He aratohu motuhake ā mātou mō te horoi i te pahikara me te horoi i te mekameka pahikara.
He maha ngā wā e hiahiatia ana he hinu whakahinuhinu auau mō ngā mekameka pahikara hiko i ngā mekameka pahikara kāore i te āwhinahia. Mā te paninga auau o te hinu whakahinuhinu kounga teitei ki te mekameka ka whakarite kia pai te mahi a te tuku hiko. He mea pai kia mahia tēnei i muri i ia ekenga, ā, i muri hoki i te horoinga me te whakamaroke i te pahikara.
Kāore i te ngāwari te paninga hinu whakahinuhinu ki ngā pahikara hiko i ētahi wā. Kāore e taea e te nuinga o ngā pahikara hiko te whakamuri i ngā pētera, nō reira ngana ki te whakatakoto i te pahikara ki runga i te tēpu mahi (me tono atu rānei ki tētahi hoa kia hiki ake i te wira o muri mai i te whenua) kia taea ai e koe te huri i ngā pētera kia maturuturu ōrite te hinu whakahinuhinu ki runga i te mekameka.
Mena he aratau "hīkoi" tō pahikara, ka taea e koe te whakahohe kia āta huri ai te porotaka (me te wira o muri) kia māmā ai te whakahinuhinu i te mekameka.
Me tirotiro anō hoki e koe te pēhanga o ngā potae o tō pahikara hiko i ia wā. Ehara i te mea he mea kino noa iho ngā potae kāore i te pupuhi, engari he maumau hiko anō hoki, ā, he whakaiti i te pai o te mahi, ko te tikanga ka iti ake te moni whiwhi mai i te utu pākahiko. Waihoki, ko te whakamahi i ngā potae i raro i te pēhanga nui ka pā ki te whakamarie me te pupuri, inā koa ka eke i waho o te huarahi.
Tuatahi, pupuhihia te potae ki roto i te awhe pēhanga kua tūtohutia kei te taha o te potae, engari ngana ki te kimi i te pēhanga tino pai e pai ana ki a koe, me te whakataurite i te taumaha, te whakamarie, te pupuri, me te ātete hurihuri. Kei te hiahia koe ki te mōhio atu? He aratohu tā mātou mō te pēhanga potae pahikara rori me te pēhanga potae pahikara maunga.
He maha ngā pahikara hiko e whakamahi ana i ngā wāhanga i hangaia mō te āwhina i te eke. Ko te tikanga, nā te kaha ake o te mana, te tere me te taumaha whānui o te pahikara, he kaha ake ngā wāhanga, ā, ka taea te tu atu i ngā kaha tāpiri e puta mai ana i te pahikara hiko.
He kaha ake te nuinga o ngā pūnaha tuku hiko o ngā pahikara hiko, ā, he rerekē te whānuitanga taputapu o aua pūnaha mai i ngā pahikara kāore i te āwhinahia. He kaha ake hoki ngā wira me ngā potae motuhake o te pahikara hiko, he kaha ake ngā marau o mua, he kaha ake ngā pēki, me ērā atu mea.
Ahakoa te whakakaha ake, he nui tonu ngā whakaritenga mō te pahikara hiko, ahakoa e takatakahi ana, e pēhi ana, e huri ana, e piki ana, e heke ana rānei, nō reira he mea pai kia aro nui ki te korenga o ngā pūtu, o ngā wāhanga rānei o te anga.
Tirohia tonutia tō pahikara me te haumaru, kia tino whakauhia ngā pūtu me ngā toki katoa kia rite ki ngā tautuhinga taipana kua tūtohutia e te kaihanga, tirohia ngā potae mō tetahi mea ka puta ai he poka, ā, whakamātauria mō ngā tītaha e kore e rere.
Kia tūpato hoki ki te nui rawa o te pakaru. Mēnā ka pakaru tetahi wāhanga, pērā i te mekameka, ka pāngia pea ētahi atu wāhanga e te tauhohenga mekameka—hei tauira, ka pakaru wawe ngā porotiti me ngā wira rere. He aratohu tā mātou mō te pakaru o te mekameka, kia taea ai e koe te kite i ngā raruraru i mua i te huri hei raruraru.
Kua whakamāramahia kētia e mātou te hiranga o te pupuri i te pahikara kia ma hei whakapai ake i tōna whai huatanga me tōna roa o te wā, engari me titiro matatau tātou ki te horoi i te pahikara hiko.
He taputapu hiri ngā pākahiko me ngā mōtini pahikara hiko, nō reira kaua e whakaaetia te wai ki roto, engari me karo te whakamahi i te horoi jet kaha hei horoi i tētahi pahikara (hiko, kore-hiko rānei) nā te mea ka panaia pea e te mana o te wai kia puta i roto i ngā hiri maha o te pahikara.
Horoia tō pahikara hiko ki te peere, ki te ngongo pēhanga iti rānei, ki te paraihe me ngā hua horoi motuhake mō te pahikara (kāore e hiahiatia) hei tango wawe i te paru me te paru.
Waiho te pākahiko i roto i te pouaka, kia hiri tonu ngā hononga katoa, engari whakawetohia te pūnaha pahikara hiko i mua i te horoinga (kia tino mohio hoki kāore e utua ana).
Ka kohia te paru e te putanga utu, nō reira tirohia te roto, ka parai i te paru ki te kakahu maroke, ki te paraihe rānei. Kia kati te putanga i te wā e horoi ana i te pahikara.
I muri i te horoinga o te pahikara, murua kia maroke ki te kakahu ma, kia tupato hoki kia kaua e pāngia e ngā parai kōpae (kāore koe e hiahia kia poke i te hinu, i ētahi atu hua horoi rānei e whakamahia ana i ētahi atu wāhi o te pahikara).
Ka taea e koe te horoi i ngā hononga pākahiko i ētahi wā. Ka taea e koe te whakamahi i tētahi paraihe ngohengohe maroke, he kakahu, me te hinu whakakā (kāore e hiahiatia) hei whakatutuki i tēnei.
Mena he pākahiko roa kei tō pahikara (ka taea te hono atu i te pākahiko tuarua mō te haere roa), me momotu e koe i mua i te horoinga, ā, horoia te hononga ki te paraihe ngohengohe maroke.
Tērā pea he aukume pūoko tere kei runga i ngā wira o tō pahikara hiko. Horoia ki te kakahu ngohengohe hei karo i ngā raruraru.
E ai ki te kōrero i runga ake nei, he pai te hiri o te pākahiko me te mōtini o te pahikara hiko hei ārai i te kino o te wai. Ehara i te mea kāore e taea te tomo ki te wai, engari mēnā he whakaaro noa, he tūpato hoki tōu, kāore he take e manukanuka ai koe.
Ko ngā mea hei karo i te whakamahi i te pahikara hiko ko te horoi i te rehu me te ruku katoa i te pahikara. Kāore he roto hei pekepeke, nō reira, aroha mai!
Kei roto te mōtini i tētahi waeine kua hiritia e te wheketere, kaua e ngana ki te wetewete mō te tiaki, kaua hoki e ngana ki te whakaoti rapanga.
Mena he raru kei te motuka, kei te pūnaha rānei, tēnā toro atu ki te toa i hokona ai e koe te pahikara, kawe rānei i te pahikara ki tētahi kaihokohoko rongonui.
Kei te hiahia koe ki te whakaroa i te whānuitanga o te pākahiko i a koe e haere ana? Anei ētahi tohutohu hei āwhina i tō pahikara hiko kia nui ake te mahi.
Ahakoa te āhua uaua ki te pupuri i tētahi pākahiko hiri, he maha ngā huarahi hei pupuri i te pākahiko o tō pahikara hiko kia pai rawa atu.
I roto i te wā, ka tawhito haere ngā pākahiko lithium-ion katoa, ka ngaro te kaha. Tērā pea ka eke ki te 5% noa iho o te utunga mōrahi ā-tau, engari e tūmanakohia ana. Mā te tiaki pai i te pākahiko, te penapena tika, me te pupuri kia utua tonutia, ka roa te ora.
Ki te mea he maha ngā wā ka momotu koe i te pākahiko, tēnā horoia ki te kakahu haukū, ka whakamahia he paraihe maroke hei tango i te paru mai i te hononga.
Horoia ngā hononga o te pākahiko i ētahi wā, ka pania ki te hinu mātotoru. Kaua rawa e whakamahia he horoi pehanga teitei, he ngongo pehanga teitei rānei hei horoi i te pākahiko.
Whakakīia te pākahiko ki te pāmahana rūma i te wāhi maroke. Hei whakaroa i te ora o te pākahiko, kaua e tukua kia utua katoatia, kia tukuna rānei te pākahiko mō te wā roa.
Ka taea te momotu i te pākahiko ina kore e whakamahia te pahikara mō te wā roa. Ka memeha haere te hiko, nō reira me whakahou tonu i ētahi wā.
E ai ki tā mātou i kōrero ai, kaua e rongoatia ngā pahikara mō te kore utu mō te wā roa—e ai ki te kaihanga pūnaha pahikara hiko a Bosch, he mea pai te pupuri i te 30% ki te 60% te kaha mō te rokiroki mō te wā roa.
Ko te wera nui me te makariri ngā hoariri tūturu o ngā pākahiko pahikara hiko. Penapenahia tō pākahiko pahikara hiko ki te wāhi hauhautanga, maroke hoki, kia matara atu i te rā tika.
I te takurua, ina koa kei raro iho i te 0°C te pāmahana, me utu te pākahiko, ā, rongoatia ki te pāmahana rūma, ka whakauru anō i te pākahiko ki roto i te pahikara i mua tonu i te ekenga.
Ahakoa te āhua nei ka hototahi ētahi rihi pākahiko ki ngā pahikara maha, me whakamahi noa koe i ngā rihi e tika ana mōu. Kāore i te rite tonu te utu o ngā pākahiko i ngā wā katoa, nō reira, ki te kore e tika te rihi, ka kino pea tō pākahiko pahikara hiko.
Ko te nuinga o ngā kaihanga pūnaha pahikara hiko ka tuku whakahōu pūmanawa me ngā taupānga; ko ētahi i ētahi wā, ko ētahi i ia wā.
Haunga te tuhi i ngā tatauranga pahikara me ētahi atu mōhiohio whai hua, mā ētahi taupānga pahikara hiko motuhake, mā ngā whakaaturanga kua hangaia rānei ka taea e koe te whakarite i te mahi a te pahikara.
Ko te tikanga pea o tēnei ko te whakarerekē i ngā tautuhinga mana (hei tauira, he iti ake te mana e tukuna ana e te tautuhinga āwhina mōrahi, nō reira he iti ake te pākahiko e whakamahia ana) me ngā āhuatanga whakaterenga rānei.
Mā te whakaiti i te tautuhinga putanga kia āta whakawātea i te pākahiko ka roa ake te ora o te pākahiko, ahakoa me kaha ake te mahi ki te piki i te maunga!
Ka taea hoki e koe te tiki whakahōutanga hauora pūnaha, whakahōutanga tiaki rānei mai i te taupānga pahikara hiko, i te mata kua hangaia rānei, e whakaatu ana i ngā mōhiohio pēnei i ngā wā ratonga.
Ka taea e koe te tirotiro mēnā kei te wātea ētahi whakahōu pūmanawa mā te taupānga hono, ka taea rānei te toro atu ki te paetukutuku a te kaihanga. E taunaki ana ētahi waitohu kia toro atu koe ki tētahi kaihoko whai mana mō ngā whakahōutanga katoa.
I runga i te waitohu me te pūnaha e whakahaerehia ana e tō pahikara, ka āwhina pea ēnei whakahōu pūmanawa ki te whakanui ake i te taipana, te whakaroa i te ora o te pākahiko, te whakarato rānei i ētahi atu whakahōutanga whai hua, nō reira he mea tika kia tirohia mēnā kei tō pahikara hiko ētahi whakahōutanga e wātea ana.
