Northern Light Motor: El futuro del transporte eléctrico personal

UK-based Northern Light Motors invites you to forget everything you think you know about e-bikes and join them in the future with one of their unique electric vehicle offerings. The company’s range of innovative 3-wheeled personal transport solutions include the Northern Light 428, the 557 and the 630. The models are named after the wavelengths of the colors visible in the northern lights. 428 being blue, 557 being green and at the highest altitudes, 630 red.

The first low-cost, safe, full-electric and weatherproof vehicle
Northern Light Motors present their vision for the future of electronic personal transport, the base model of which is the 428 trike. It’s the first of its kind anywhere in the world, combining affordability, electric efficiency, weatherproof design and much more.

The Northern Light models are built on a hybrid design that conserves power for when you need those bursts of speeds. Its hyper-efficient powertrain allows you to travel up to 60 miles for just 30 cents of electricity charge. The maximum single-charge range is 100 miles.

The weatherproof design of the Northern Light e-bike is made to be a protective cocoon for the driver. The vinyl-wrapped body is built with special crumple zones. This makes it a durable and safe electric trike vehicle anywhere on the road. What’s more, these trikes’ three wheels ride on leaf spring suspension for a smooth and comfortable journey every time.

Additional drive features include hydraulic disc brakes on all three models. Racing brakes, performance tires and aerodynamic wheel covers are available on the high-end 630 performance model. The 630 also gets its extra speed from 1kw of electric assistance that it can unlock from its race ECU.

Classic British car design with cutting-edge performance tech

The body design with its headlight and even turn signals is reminiscent of true classic British car design, but with added contemporary curves and aerodynamism. The interior features a flawless digital touchscreen HUD that tells your power levels and speed. Besides the headlight and front turn signals, the Northern Light Models also feature a prominent tail light and rear turn signals, too.

The battery on all three models is small and light enough that you can carry it from the trike to your home for better protection and recharging. The 428 Blue and 557 Green both come with a 10.5Ah battery with a 50-mile range and a top speed of 35mph, but the 630 Red gets a larger 20Ah battery that can travel up to 100 miles on a single charge and a top speed of 45mph.

The whole range has no chain, but uses a series hybrid system. The pedaling motion charges the battery. And this power is then delivered to the rear wheel, along with the legally allowed amount of assistance for a given territory. The transmission features regenerative braking and human power storage.

Other tech additions include USB ports for your smartphone, navigation device and other electronics. There’s even a rear-view camera to make parking easier.

Northern Light are taking orders now
All three of these trikes from Northern Light are available for pre-purchase now. You can make a £250 (approx. $US353) deposit to reserve your build slot and Northern Light Motors will get right on it.

Startup

A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.

Actions

Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.

Design principles

Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".

3. A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The priest said, "Here comes the green-keeper. Let's have a word with him."
He said, "Hello George, what's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The green-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group fell silent for a moment.
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."
