Today I'm going to show you an electric vehicle

今天我给大家看一个电动交通工具

that weighs less than a bicycle,

它比自行车还轻，

that you can carry with you anywhere,

你可以随身带到任何地方

that you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes,

在墙上插座充电15分钟，

and you can run it for 1,000 kilometers

你就能够跑1000公里远

on about a dollar of electricity.

电费大约就1块钱。

But when I say the word electric vehicle,

但是我说电动交通工具时，

people think about vehicles. They think about cars

人们一想到交通工具，他们会想到汽车

and motorcycles and bicycles, and the vehicles that you use every day.

摩托车和自行车，那些我们日常用的交通工具。

But if you come about it from a different perspective,

但是你如果从不同的角度来看，

you can create some more interesting,

你会创造更多有趣的，

more novel concepts.

更新奇的概念。

So we built something.

所以我们做了个东西。

I've got some of the pieces in my pocket here.

我这儿有几个零件在口袋里。

So this is the motor.

这是马达。

This motor has enough power to take you

这个马达有足够的能量带你

up the hills of San Francisco at about 20 miles per hour,

在旧金山以每小时20英里的速度爬坡，

about 30 kilometers an hour,

大约每小时30公里，

and this battery, this battery right here

这个电池

has about six miles of range, or 10 kilometers,

能支持大约六英里，或10公里的范围

which is enough to cover about half of the car trips

足够走大约一半的

in the U.S. alone.

美国境内的汽车旅程。

But the best part about these components

最妙之处是这些零件是

is that we bought them at a toy store.

我们在一家玩具店买来的。

These are from remote control airplanes.

这些是遥控飞机上的。

And the performance of these things has gotten so good

这些零件的性能太好了

that if you think about vehicles a little bit differently,

你要是从不同的角度来考虑交通工具，

you can really change things.

你真能改变事情。

So today we're going to show you one example

今天我们给你们示范一下

of how you can use this.

如何使用这个工具。

Pay attention to not only how fun this thing is,

别光看它多有趣，

but also how the portability that comes with this

也看看它的轻便是如何

can totally change the way you interact with a city like San Francisco.

能够完全改变你与像旧金山这样的城市的互动的。

(Music)

（音乐）

[6 Mile Range] [Top Speed Near 20mph]

（6 英里的范围，最高速度接近20英里/小时）

[Uphill Climbing]

（爬坡）

[Regenerative Braking]

（再生制动）

(Applause)

（掌声）

(Cheers)

（欢呼）

So we're going to show you what this thing can do.

我们将展示它能做什么。

It's really maneuverable. You have a hand-held remote,

很容易操作的。它有一个手动遥控器，

so you can pretty easily control acceleration, braking,

很容易控制加速，刹车，

go in reverse if you like, also have braking.

倒着走也可以，同样可以刹车。

It's incredible just how light this thing is.

它轻得令人难以置信。

I mean, this is something you can pick up and carry with you

我是说，你可以拿起来，随身携带

anywhere you go.

不论去哪。

So I'll leave you with one of the most compelling facts

我要告诉你们这个技术和这种的交通工具的

about this technology and these kinds of vehicles.

最引人注目的事实之一。

This uses 20 times less energy

比起汽车来，

for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car,

它每英里或公里能节约20倍的能量，

which means not only is this thing fast to charge

也就是说这个不仅充电快

and really cheap to build,

做起来也很便宜，

but it also reduces the footprint of your energy use

就运输而言也减少了

in terms of your transportation.

能量的消耗。

So instead of looking at large amounts of energy needed

所以不用找大量的能源

for each person in this room to get around in a city,

来让每个人都有空间在市内活动，

now you can look at much smaller amounts

你可以关注耗能量更小

and more sustainable transportation.

和更持久的交通工具。

So next time you think about a vehicle,

所以，下次你要是考虑一种交通工具，

I hope, like us, you're thinking about something new.

希望，像我们这样，想点新奇的东西。

Thank you.

谢谢大家！

(Applause)
