Your Kids Are Safer Inside Their Mecha
With vehicles increasingly on the road, it has never been so hazardous and deadly for kids. On the streets, 76% of people killed or injured by an automobile are hit outside of an intersection, according to the NHTSA. And in the US alone, there are nearly 900 cars for every 1000 people, posing a threat to kids on foot anywhere.
To help protect your kids, our mecha walking vehicle legs and body give your kids a leg up, and help place them out of the reach of passenger car front ends and truck and SUV bumpers.
In addition to making your kids up to 6 times more visible to cars, trucks and SUVs, your kids in a mecha are offered protection that e-scooters, bikes and skateboards cannot. In addition to helping make your kids safer, your kids in a mecha are provided agility, maneuverability and capabilities similar to human walking. All without the mecha needing to be operated with motors or electricity.
Like a bike or skateboard, our mecha can operate under human power.
The standard 26” wide cab, designed to detatch from the egs to store inside, has a dashboard that comes standard with smartphone and tablet holders, with space for other electronics. There are other instrumentation for operator feedback, including surface slope angle, wind speed, and an accelerometer to provide and record impact and collision data.
Top-mounted dual cameras can help recors the action, and allow moms and dads to remotely view thier kids activity on any smart phone, especially in accidents and emergencies. And the infrared detectors of the cameras can help alert your kids to moving vehicles they otherwise may not see. Plus, as an added bonus, the cameras combined with the infrared detectors help provide security to the mecha when your kids are away from it.
Top-mounted dual 12-volt solar panels store and can help provide power to various installed electronics. The key aim of the solar panels is to make the mecha as self-sufficient for power as possible.
Our mecha help provide you and your kids safety in a high-impact innovation, which represents the first substantial investment in kid-operated pedestrian safety of its kind. It also support cities’ focus on encouraging walkability, which has taken on new urgency as part of a wider campaign for sustainable urban development, with the aim of encouraging and facilitating walking over driving.
