The TDR1801Z redefines shared mobility with a focus on "universal design, smart experience, and urban inclusivity."

The TDR1801Z is centered on "inclusive design," meticulously calibrated through ergonomics. Its coordinated layout—featuring a low footrest, elevated saddle, and well-positioned handlebars—ensures that users of different heights and genders achieve a natural, relaxed riding posture, effectively alleviating lower back and hip fatigue during long-distance rides.

The vehicle features a stain-resistant and fade-defying gray base, accented by yellow and white markings to balance visual cleanliness with high visibility. The paint incorporates an anti-stain coating technology that enhances the body's stain resistance and easy-clean properties, maintaining a tidy and attractive appearance even in rainy or challenging conditions. Smart-compliant parking recognition technology helps improve visual order and urban aesthetics.

The TDR1801Z leverages the powerful torque from its high-performance motor, paired with a vibration-dampening effect achieved through the coordinated function of its frame and suspended chain structure, soft saddle, wide tires, and adjustable shock absorption system. This helps handle complex road conditions with ease, delivering a smooth and comfortable riding experience whether on bumpy cobblestone paths or steep slopes.

The vehicle utilizes a high-strength hybrid metal-plastic body for solid passive protection. The included smart helmet features a wear detection system to ensure proper usage. Active speed limiting and voice prompts provide real-time alerts during rides. The distinctive unique eagle-wing tail design doubles as a load detection module, effectively preventing unauthorized passenger carriage.

Additionally, the TDR1801Z introduces the innovative "one-touch return" feature, while allowing users to check battery level and remaining range simply by rocking the handlebar, thus streamlining the user process and enhancing convenience. Its smart helmet with an openable cover protects against rain and dust. The front basket incorporates a self-cleaning structure to prevent water and debris accumulation, ensuring that the helmet stays clean and comfortable for every use.
