Test Drive: Solid Performance with Key Improvements Needed
The Sandbags: 150lbs
We tested the Juria by loading 150 lbs of sandbags into the seat to simulate a driver's weight. It handled the extra weight easily, with smooth steering and stable balance, even when the load shifted. This test was done to check its ability to handle real use and identify any design weaknesses.
The Joystick
The joystick controller which we mounted on top of the canopy, was awkward to use without a handle. We'll explore adding a handlebar and a better placement for the joystick.
Promising Start with Room for Improvement
The first drive of the Juria went smoothly, handling rough terrain well with extra weight. Stock Wike wheels and tires worked, but more rugged off-road tires would be better for the electric dual drive. The front swivel wheel lacks tread, so we'll find a better off-road option. This setup performs perfectly on paved surfaces.
