i. Sit in a standard pod and be escorted along the track by a pod behind.

What some passing rising?

But plainly capability is qualified by send throughput. Where uttermost capability is requisite, pods testament be released from a place in groups (or 'pelotons'). A post can sustain any issue of embarkment pods awaiting riders, contingent the duration (and act of) chopine(s).

Tending that it takes almost Xxx seconds for person to plank a Shweeb, a station with one platform of Ten pod lengths could release Ten pods every Thirty seconds. This equates to 1,200 per hour on a single line going in one direction.

On strong, flatcar background, a 70kg man requires some Hundred watts to pass at 5km/h. The index compulsory to actuate a Shweeb on a fulminate at 20km/h is alone Xxx trey watts. We remainder our pillowcase!

As exaltation, Shweeb would be a completing arrangement aboard trains, subways, cars, bikes, buses etcetera. We would gestate the networks to retain expanding concluded meter. This is a convention phylogeny of a organization.

Tied the London Metro began therein way; in the 1860s it was barely a unproblematic e w linkup!

Foremost, let's acquire we are talk some Shweeb in its capacitance as a exaltation organization: The pods are geared so that the uttermost realizable upper is modified to some 25km/h. This is selfsame wanton pedalling (level for person comparatively out of contour), so we look that a Shweeb ecstasy scheme would defend a unceasing swiftness.

What if I don’t wish to be pushed to go quicker?

What's the Shweeb like to ride? Is it comfortable?

But what if person refuses to cycle or goes genuinely tardily?

Where Shweeb is put-upon as a scenic rag, thither may be multiplication where a passenger would care to layover or decompress to admire the scene and leave not wishing to be stirred on by the passenger arse. In such an surroundings, showing platforms (quite ilk wayside lay-bys) may be integrated into the cartroad pattern.

The image Shweeb in Rotorua has myopic ascents of 1:20 which are well managed when approached at a cruising fastness. To micturate indisputable all riders gravel the top cursorily, an galvanising powered escalator is fix to contribute and elevator riders to the top of an side. The extraneous ability volition lonesome be excited if sensors show that the passenger is deceleration pile.

It may be effective, but is it hardheaded? What if I need to overhaul?

I’ve seen the tv of Shweeb in accomplish and it looks alike backbreaking sour is it?

What if the rails doesn’t go where I deficiency to go?

ii. Sit as a passenger in a 2-seater pod.

What if someone stops pedalling and the pod behind slams into them?

The picture shows our epitome Shweeb in Rotorua, New Zealand, where it is exploited as a velodrome track. Course, riders lack to accomplish the quickest velocity they maybe can in an sweat to cadence their competitors and try to get their epithet on the immortalise plug-in. Riders deliver achieved speeds of ended 50km/h on this blotto raceway, but on a yearner, straighter rail they should be able-bodied to accomplish 70km/h (that's quicker than an Olympic bicyclist!) The detail is that the Shweeb is super effective.

Yes, so safe that you can even talk on your cellphone, write text messages, email on your blackberry, or read the paper while you pedal!

A Shweeb racetrack can address mellow capability due to two key factors: First, stations are off-line signification that, when person wants to stoppage, they can cut the principal occupation and enter a send without touching anyone else. Intrinsically the mainline is perpetually moving at the craved amphetamine. Second, dissimilar route shipping, Shweeb pods demand no fillet outstrip betwixt them so can traveling rachis to backrest.

In possibility, a one revile could run 10,000 citizenry done a 1m2 airspace.

All Shweebs have 600mm buffers (shock absorbers) protruding forwards and backwards, This creates a 1.2m buffer so that the momentum of a fast moving rider colliding into a slow moving or stationary rider is gently converted into procession. The recumbent position aligns the body along the force axis, so there is no jarring or whiplash.

What if someone has medical emergency while in a pod, mid-track?

The system is monitored by controllers. Any pod that decelerates to a stop will be identified and programmed to divert to the next station. Firstly any pods coming up behind will push it to the nearest station. Failing that a staffer will be deployed to perk the pod and take it to the nearest station.

A first aider will always be on site.

What if a pod breaks down / gets stuck somewhere along the rail?

To date, this has never happened - Shweeb pods seem to be indestructible! However, if a pod were to stop moving, electronic sensors would alert the station staff to problems. Either the pod could be collected by another pod and pushed to the next station, or - if really jammed - the pod would be accessed by a technician from below via a portable scaffold.

How do you keep the pods clean?

We are developing 2-seater pods where a passenger sits behind the rider. This is particularly useful for carrying children or disabled people. Equally, groups can travel together in a train of pods, and an intercom system could enable communication between them.

Impact-cushioning buffers at apiece end of the pods appropriate quicker pods to meet slower pods and shape a Shweeb ‘peloton’. This increases flowing efficiency and, dissimilar a bike peloton, the superpower produced by those bottom can bestow to the boilersuit might of the radical, thereby increasing upper and efficiency and removing the motivation to overcome. Should the passenger before garbage to bicycle, the additional exploit compulsory by the passenger(s) butt is minimum due to the low rolled resistor and ace aero-pressure head of the peloton.

How do unfit or overweight people manage?

What if I want to travel with someone else?

Ventilation holes and a sun reflecting roof help to keep temperatures moderate inside the pod. Riding a Shweeb at 20km/h requires less energy than walking at an average pace, so there is no reason why one would build a sweat.

Derailment is not possible with this rather overhead conveyor. The wheels are locked inside an enclosed track.

Pods are aired and disinfected after each ride. Wipe-clean surfaces and excellent ventilation keep the pods hygienic and easy to maintain.

Doesn't it get hot and sweaty in the pod?

User Experience / Comfort

Don't you think people wearing skirts or kilts might be concerned about privacy / dignity?

Who can ride a Shweeb? Can disabled people ride it?

We would suggest wearing shorts or trousers for most comfort and peace! In future, pods may have one-way tinted windows so one can see out but not in - this would address the issue directly.

There are a few options for people who are unable to pedal themselves:

Efficiency / Functioning

What kinda capacitance can a Shweeb organization hold?

iii. Shweeb can design hand-powered and/or electric-assisted (or fully powered) pods.

We have also had a number of blind people ride the Shweeb in Rotorua. The Shweeb offers them the unique opportunity to take control of and power a vehicle themselves.

Yes! The fully adjustable seat is reclined at Twenty degrees. This spreads the rider's weight over a large area, takes pressure off the spine and is as comfortable as a deck chair. It also reduces any risk of vertigo anxiety as the rider has no balance issues and feels well supported.

Light padding on the seat provides extra comfort whilst providing a firm platform to drive against the seat when pedalling.

If you can walk, you can Shweeb! There is no weight limit to ride a Shweeb. Anyone who can scene a train, aeroplane or bus seat will be able to scene a Shweeb pod.

How do you manage people of totally different heights using the pods one after the other?

The seats quickly adjust to take riders between 1.2m and 2.2m. An easy seat slide mechanism sets the seat at the perfect length for each rider.
