Hey there, safety enthusiasts and solar pioneers!
Have you ever looked at a car and wondered, "What's going on under the surface to keep me safe?" Well, today, we're diving into the world of smart engineering to show you why the INTI isn't just a solar car you'll love to drive—it's a car you can feel great driving. It's a vehicle that makes complex things seem, well, simple.
When the team set out to design the INTI solar car, they didn't focus on other neighborhood electric vehicles. They looked at race cars! Our founder, Julian Field, explains below that this priority led the team to adopt a design philosophy directly from the world of motorsport.
This approach is about creating a structure that's incredibly strong and safe without being heavy. The INTI's space frame is inspired by this very concept, offering strength without excess weight. This design is the secret to making the car feel zippy and fun while providing a secure driving experience.
Built-In Protection for Real Life
So, what does this smart design look like in action? The INTI’s safety features aren't afterthoughts; they're built right in.
-
A Full Roll Cage: Integrated into the car's design, the full roll cage is built to keep the cabin strong and secure. It is designed to protect you in the event of an impact.
-
Side-Impact Bars: To protect against bumps and side collisions, the INTI has structural steel side-impact bars. These bars are a key distinction from a standard golf cart.
-
Seatbelts and Head Restraints: Just like a standard car, the INTI has 3-point seatbelts and head restraints to keep you secure and protected during a sudden stop or collision.
-
Real Bumpers: The INTI is built with regulation front and rear bumpers. These are designed to absorb and manage impact energy.
Simple, Smart, and Street Legal
Because of this deliberate engineering, the INTI is more than just a fun ride; it's a street-legal Low Speed Vehicle (LSV). This means it meets federal safety standards for use on roads with speed limits up to 35 mph. It's a freeing feeling to know that your daily drive in a solar low speed vehicle is not only powered by the sun but also designed with your safety in mind.
So, the next time you hear someone say, "It's just a golf cart," you can smile and say, "Nope! It's a cleverly engineered, solar-safe machine!"
A safe car is a fun car, and the INTI is both. Ready to experience the freedom of a solar neighborhood electric vehicle with peace of mind?
