Here, Hulk Vehicle, as a professional electric bus manufacturer, will discuss in detail the issues that need to be paid attention to when buying electric sightseeing buses from multiple aspects to help you make wise decisions when buying.

Purpose and Demand

When buying an electric sightseeing bus, you must first clarify its purpose and needs. Different uses have different requirements for the functions, configurations and designs of the vehicle, so a careful analysis of these requirements can help you make the most appropriate choice.

Usage scenario: Usually, electric sightseeing buses can be used in places such as tourist attractions, factory areas, airports, docks, hotels or resorts, large exhibitions or exhibition companies, etc. The main purpose is to pick up tourists or employees and provide sightseeing or factory shuttle services. In different scenarios, the requirements for the number of seats and comfort of sightseeing buses are also different. Therefore, when we buy a sightseeing bus, we must clarify the specific purpose and demands in advance.

Battery and Charging

Battery endurance is one of the most core performance indicators of electric sightseeing buses. The capacity of the battery directly affects the driving distance and frequency of use of the sightseeing bus. When choosing the sightseeing bus, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Battery type: The electric sightseeing buses on the market currently mainly use lead-acid batteries or lithium batteries. Although lithium batteries are more expensive, they have a longer service life and better endurance than lead-acid batteries.

Battery endurance: We should choose a vehicle with a suitable endurance according to actual use needs. If it is used frequently and the single driving mileage is long, it is recommended to choose a model with a stronger endurance.

Charging time: Before purchasing, Before purchasing, it is important to know the charging time of the electric sightseeing bus, especially whether the charging speed meets operational requirements. Some of vehicle models support fast charging function, which is especially important in high-frequency use scenarios.

Charging facilities: Charging facilities: Before purchasing, be sure to confirm whether there are matching charging facilities or whether additional equipment such as charging piles needs to be purchased. All electric sightseeing buses from Hulk Vehicle come with their own charging facilities.

Power Performance and Stability

The power performance and stability of electric sightseeing buses are important factors that determine the smooth operation of vehicles in various terrains and environments. When determining its power performance and stability, the following factors can be considered:

Motor power: The motor power of electric sightseeing buses directly affects the climbing ability, load-bearing capacity and acceleration performance of the buses. The actual terrain and use environment should be considered when selecting buses. Make sure that the motor power matches the vehicle weight and the use environment. Insufficient power may lead to performance degradation, while excessive power may increase the energy consumption of electric sightseeing buses.

Suspension system and shock absorption: Excellent suspension system and shock absorption design can improve the ride comfort of the vehicle, especially when used in scenic spots or parks with poor road conditions. As we all know, the McPherson independent suspension system is an excellent design widely used in the front suspension system of modern vehicles, and it is being used in our electric sightseeing buses.

Body Material and Structure

The body material determines the durability and safety of the electric sightseeing bus. High-quality body material can not only improve the service life of the vehicle, but also enhance its impact resistance. Pay attention to the following points:

Material selection: Common body materials are steel frame chassis + ABS engineering plastic molding material body. Light weight helps to reduce the total weight of the vehicle, making the vehicle more flexible to control while also extending the driving range of the electric sightseeing bus. The steel frame has been treated with anti-corrosion, which can effectively resist rust problems in humid environments and extend the service life of the chassis. The ABS plastic body has good resistance to ultraviolet rays, rain and chemicals, is not prone to aging, cracking or discoloration, and is particularly suitable for outdoor use.

Body structure: The body structure of an electric sightseeing bus usually includes the following main parts: chassis structure, body frame, suspension system, roof and side panels, and seat layout. Each part has been designed and optimized, and the layout is reasonable, which can effectively reduce vibration and driving noise, and improve the safety, comfort and efficiency of the vehicle.

Safety Function

Safety is a factor that cannot be ignored during the use of electric sightseeing buses. The following safety functions should be paid attention to when choosing:

Braking system: Ensure that the vehicle is equipped with an efficient and sensitive braking system, guaranteeing the response speed and force of the brakes, and ensuring their reliability. Electric sightseeing buses are usually equipped with front and rear dual-circuit hydraulic brakes, and some are also equipped with electronic parking systems.

Lights and reflectors: The front and rear of the vehicle must be equipped with qualified lighting systems and reflectors to improve safety at night and in low-light environments.

Safety devices: Such as seat belts, reversing images, emergency stop buttons, etc., to ensure that the vehicle can respond in time in an emergency and increase safety.

Comfort and Ease of Operation

Comfort is an important aspect for the passenger experience, and ease of operation is also important for the driver. The following factors should be considered when purchasing:

Seat design: The seat should have sufficient comfort and support, and it is best to choose a seat that conforms to ergonomic design.

Driving operation: It is necessary to understand in detail whether the driving operation is simple and easy to learn, whether the steering wheel, gear, accelerator, brake, etc. conform to ergonomic design, especially in scenarios that require frequent parking and starting.

Price and Budget

Price and budget are important factors that every buyer needs to consider. It is very important to choose a cost-effective electric sightseeing bus within the budget range, and try to avoid ignoring the key performance of the electric sightseeing bus because of the low price. We need to comprehensively consider the performance, service life, and maintenance costs of the vehicle, and choose an electric sightseeing bus with high cost-effectiveness.

After-sales Service and Warranty

High-quality after-sales service and warranty policy are another key factor when purchasing an electric sightseeing bus. Pay attention to the following points:

After-sales service: Choose manufacturers that provide perfect after-sales service to ensure that problems encountered during use can be solved in a timely manner.

Warranty policy: Understand the manufacturer's warranty policy, including warranty scope and period, to ensure that necessary maintenance support can be obtained during the warranty period.
