Volkswagen Office Chair
The drivable electric office chair launched by Volkswagen is a creative product of the marketing campaign for the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and commercial vehicle models. It will not be mass-produced for sale but features unique design and functions. The following is an introduction from three aspects: power performance, safety design, and functional configuration.
In terms of power and performance, this office chair is equipped with a dedicated battery and motor, and its base adopts a layout of four aluminum wheels, two large and two small. Among them, the electric motor is responsible for driving the two rear wheels to move forward and controlling the steering. The maximum speed can reach 19 - 20 km/h, which is close to the speed of an ordinary electric bicycle and can meet the need for rapid movement in specific spaces. At the same time, its driving range is about 12 kilometers, which can support a certain period of use, although the specific range will be affected by factors such as the usage scenario and load.
Regarding safety design, to ensure the safety of users, a three-point seat belt is installed. In the event of sudden braking and other emergencies, it can effectively prevent the person on the chair from being thrown forward due to inertia and reduce the risk of injury. In addition, the five-wheel design is adopted. Compared with the common four-wheel office chairs, this design improves the maneuverability and stability during driving, making operations such as turning and changing direction more stable and reducing the occurrence of dangerous situations such as rollovers.
The functional configuration is extremely rich. It integrates functions such as headlights, audio, cameras, and heating. The armrests of the seat are equipped with LED headlight groups and ambient light strips that imitate the Volkswagen ID electric vehicle series, which not only add a sense of technology but also provide illumination in dimly lit environments. The headrest is embroidered with the Volkswagen company logo, highlighting the brand's characteristics. The added information system display screen allows users to experience various functions through touch operation. For example, the rear camera is connected to the rear sensors and can emit warning sounds according to the distance, similar to the reverse image function of a car, facilitating users to observe the situation behind. It can also control the built-in audio system of the chair. It is equipped with LED DRLs and turn signals newly designed for Volkswagen, as well as a seat heating function. It has height and backrest angle adjustment functions to meet the comfort needs of different users. In addition, it is also equipped with a car horn, which is convenient for reminding others during racing or 'traffic jams' in office scenarios.
