Smart inventions: The three-wheeler Rev-1 road robot that delivers food
The Rev-1’s lightweight allows it to move on the road with ease and travel in the bike lane as a regular cyclist would. It does not move to fast and does not proceed to slow.
It reaches speeds of about 15 mph. The speed at which it travels is important, as well as the size. Hitting that 15 mph mark makes it road legal while standing at 5 feet tall and 5 feet long, with 30 inches of space, it keeps within e-bike regulations.
Furthermore, because of the lightweight machine, the pod allows it to stop easily in case of emergencies and allows for better handling on corners. Most importantly, because of its light body materials, Rev-1 is able to travel for longer distances between restaurant and drop-off.
Making it three wheels with one at the back and two in the front gives room for the 30 inches of space needed to pack it with food, groceries, or whatever else will fit in the Rev-1’s gut.
Refraction AI says it takes up to four packets of fully packed grocery bags.
