Today I'm going to show you an electric vehicle

0:00:04.636,0:00:08.542
that weighs less than a bicycle,

0:00:08.542,0:00:11.888
that you can carry with you anywhere,

0:00:11.888,0:00:16.380
that you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes,

0:00:16.380,0:00:18.628
and you can run it for 1,000 kilometers

0:00:18.628,0:00:20.980
on about a dollar of electricity.

0:00:20.980,0:00:23.268
But when I say the word electric vehicle,

0:00:23.268,0:00:26.156
people think about vehicles. They think about cars

0:00:26.156,0:00:29.874
and motorcycles and bicycles, and the vehicles that you use every day.

0:00:29.874,0:00:32.170
But if you come about it from a different perspective,

0:00:32.170,0:00:34.472
you can create some more interesting,

0:00:34.472,0:00:37.152
more novel concepts.

0:00:37.152,0:00:39.408
So we built something.

0:00:39.408,0:00:42.102
I've got some of the pieces in my pocket here.

0:00:42.102,0:00:44.192
So this is the motor.

0:00:44.192,0:00:45.801
This motor has enough power to take you

0:00:45.801,0:00:49.608
up the hills of San Francisco at about 20 miles per hour,

0:00:49.608,0:00:51.434
about 30 kilometers an hour,

0:00:51.434,0:00:55.524
and this battery, this battery right here

0:00:55.524,0:00:59.472
has about six miles of range, or 10 kilometers,

0:00:59.472,0:01:02.275
which is enough to cover about half of the car trips

0:01:02.275,0:01:04.672
in the U.S. alone.

0:01:04.672,0:01:06.451
But the best part about these components

0:01:06.451,0:01:08.648
is that we bought them at a toy store.

0:01:08.648,0:01:11.072
These are from remote control airplanes.

0:01:11.072,0:01:13.216
And the performance of these things has gotten so good

0:01:13.216,0:01:15.512
that if you think about vehicles a little bit differently,

0:01:15.512,0:01:17.015
you can really change things.

0:01:17.015,0:01:19.012
So today we're going to show you one example

0:01:19.012,0:01:21.089
of how you can use this.

0:01:21.089,0:01:23.888
Pay attention to not only how fun this thing is,

0:01:23.888,0:01:26.966
but also how the portability that comes with this

0:01:26.966,0:01:31.313
can totally change the way you interact with a city like San Francisco.

0:01:31.313,0:01:36.676

[Uphill Climbing]

0:02:38.458,0:02:44.517
(Applause)

0:02:44.517,0:02:48.829
(Cheers)

0:02:48.829,0:02:52.122
So we're going to show you what this thing can do.

0:02:52.122,0:02:54.815
It's really maneuverable. You have a hand-held remote,

0:02:54.815,0:02:58.394
so you can pretty easily control acceleration, braking,

0:02:58.394,0:03:02.723
go in reverse if you like, also have braking.

0:03:09.431,0:03:11.488
It's incredible just how light this thing is.

0:03:11.488,0:03:13.617
I mean, this is something you can pick up and carry with you

0:03:13.617,0:03:16.553
anywhere you go.

0:03:16.553,0:03:19.729
So I'll leave you with one of the most compelling facts

0:03:19.729,0:03:22.585
about this technology and these kinds of vehicles.

0:03:22.585,0:03:25.977
This uses 20 times less energy

0:03:25.977,0:03:29.344
for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car,

0:03:29.344,0:03:32.977
which means not only is this thing fast to charge

0:03:32.977,0:03:34.666
and really cheap to build,

0:03:34.666,0:03:38.017
but it also reduces the footprint of your energy use

0:03:38.017,0:03:39.652
in terms of your transportation.

0:03:39.652,0:03:42.411
So instead of looking at large amounts of energy needed

0:03:42.411,0:03:45.345
for each person in this room to get around in a city,

0:03:45.345,0:03:47.465
now you can look at much smaller amounts

0:03:47.465,0:03:49.905
and more sustainable transportation.

0:03:49.905,0:03:51.267
So next time you think about a vehicle,

0:03:51.267,0:03:54.573
I hope, like us, you're thinking about something new.

0:03:54.573,0:03:55.711
Thank you.

0:03:55.711,0:04:01.665
