I te mea kei te piki haere te utu o ngā pire hiko me ngā pire whare i ēnei rā, ehara i te mea miharo he tokomaha kei te whakaaro ki te noho ki waho o te whatunga hiko. Ehara tēnei i te whāinga ngāwari, engari ehara i te mea kāore e taea. Ko te waka pēnei i te EarthRoamer LTi pea te mea e tata ana ki tētahi whare rangatira kua oti te whakapaipai, ka taea te tū ki hea noa atu i te mara, ā, ka noho tonu hei mahi mō ngā rā kāore he hiko, he wai rānei.
I huraina tuatahitia i te Whiringa-ā-rangi 2019, kei roto i te karāti o Jay Leno te motuka muka-waro. Inaa, i whakamatautauria e Leno tēnei SUV whakamiharo ehara i te mea i roto i tana karāti (e tau ana?), engari i roto i te taiao. I roto i te ataata neke atu i te 40 meneti i runga ake nei, ka hono atu a Zach Renier, Kaiwhakahaere Pūkete i EarthRoamer. He māmā noa iho rānei, he tangata e mōhio ana ki ngā mea katoa mō ngā puni mōrearea.
Hei tīmatanga, me mōhio pea koe ko te LTi i ahu mai i te taraka Ford F-550 Super Duty, he tūāpapa tino kaha. Ka ahu mai te mana i te miihini tīhiera V8 6.7-rita e honoa ana ki te tuku aunoa 10-tere e tuku ana i te mana ki ngā wira e whā. Heoi, he mea whakamīharo ake, kāore he tāke propane, he whakaputa hiko rānei i runga i te waka. Engari, i tāutahia e LTi he nui ngā panera rā ki runga i te tuanui hei whakaputa i te 1,320 watts o te mana kua rongoatia ki roto i te pākahiko lithium-ion 11,000 watt-haora. Kei reira anō hoki he whakamahana tīhiera me te whakamahana wai tīhiera.
Ki te mea kei te āwangawanga koe kei hiahiatia he tiaki tāpiri mō tētahi motuka mōrearea nui pēnei, kaua e manukanuka – ehara i te mea pērā te LTi. Ka whakamahia e ia te miihini taketake, te tuku, ngā toki me ētahi atu wāhanga, ko te tikanga ka taea te whakatika i tētahi toa hokohoko Ford puta noa i te motu. He mea whakamiharo hoki te nui o ngā wai ka taea e te motuka te penapena, tae atu ki te 100 karani wai māori me te 60 karani wai hina. He tāke wahie nui 95-karani anō hoki e hoatu ana ki a koe te tawhiti neke atu i te 1,000 maero i runga i te tāke kotahi.
Engari ehara te motuka i te mea tino pai. Ka whakaako a EarthRoamer i ana kiritaki ki te whakamahi i ā rātou waka mō te mōrearea, me te ako hoki i a rātou ki te whakawhiti potae, ki te whakamahi i te wini, ki te puta i te raruraru i waho o te rori me te maha atu. Ahakoa te kaieke rori tauhou, kāore he mea e wehi ai.
