Ua lilo ka ʻoihana paikikala i kekahi o nā mea liʻiliʻi i loaʻa i ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus no ka mea e ʻimi nei ka poʻe i nā ala e noho ikaika ai, hoʻokipa i nā keiki a hele i ka hana.Ua manaʻo ʻia ua piʻi aʻe ke kūʻai paʻa kaʻa ma waena o ka ʻāina e 50% i ka makahiki i hala.He nūhou maikaʻi kēia no nā mea hana kaʻa kaʻa, e like me Detroit Bicycles a me ka American Bicycle Company (BCA).
I kekahi manawa, ʻo ʻAmelika ka mea hana nui o ka honua i nā paikikala.ʻO nā hale hana e holo ʻia e nā hui e like me Huffy, Murray, a me Schwinn e hana i nā paikikala i nā mea nui i kēlā me kēia makahiki.ʻOiai e mau ana kēia mau hōʻailona, ua neʻe ka hana i nā ʻāina ʻē i nā makahiki he nui aku nei.
No ka laʻana, ua hana ʻo Schwinn i ka paikikala hope loa ma Chicago i ka makahiki 1982, a ua pani ʻo Huffy i kāna hale hana hae ma Celina, Ohio i ka makahiki 1998. I loko o kēia manawa, nui nā mea hana paʻa kaʻa ʻAmelika kaulana ʻē aʻe, e like me Roadmaster a me Ross.I kēlā manawa, ua hāʻule ke kumukūʻai kūʻai o nā kaʻa kaʻa i ka 25% i ka wā i hoʻohaʻahaʻa ai nā mea hana ʻAsia i nā kumukūʻai a hoʻopau i nā palena kālā.
Wahi a Harry Moser, ka luna o ka Reshoring Initiative a me ka mea kākau o ka ASSEMBLY's "Moser on Manufacturing" kolamu, ua hana nā mea hana ʻAmelika ma mua o 5 miliona mau kaʻa i ka makahiki 1990. Eia naʻe, i ka nui o nā hana ma waho, ua hāʻule ka hana hale i ka haʻahaʻa o 200,000 mau kaʻa. .2015.

ʻO ka hana paʻa kaʻa kaʻa pinepine i kahi ʻoihana cyclical i loaʻa i nā booms nui a me nā kaumaha.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ma muli o nā ʻano kumu like ʻole, ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa iho o ka hana home i nā makahiki i hala.
Inā he kelepona a paʻa paha, he nui nā pono olakino i nā paikikala.Ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus, nui ka poʻe e noʻonoʻo hou i kahi a lākou e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai a pehea lākou e hoʻolilo ai i ko lākou manawa kaʻawale.
"I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ke ʻimi nei nā mea kūʻai aku i nā hana ma waho a me nā hana hoʻokipa no nā keiki e kū pono i nā pilikia e pili ana i nā kauoha home, a kūpono loa ke kaʻa uila," wahi a NPD Group Sports Industry Analyst Dirk Sorensen (Dirk Sorenson) Inc. ʻoihana noiʻi e hahai ana i nā ʻano mākeke."ʻO ka hope loa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe i kēia lā ma mua o nā makahiki i hala.

Ma nā kaona kaona, kaulana nā paikikala no nā hele pōkole no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke mālama i ka manawa he nui ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano kaʻa kaʻa.Eia kekahi, hoʻoponopono nā paikikala i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi e like me ka palena o nā wahi kaʻa, ka haumia o ka ea a me ka paʻa ʻana o nā kaʻa.Eia kekahi, ʻo ka ʻōnaehana kaʻana kaʻa kaʻa e hiki ai i nā poʻe ke hoʻolimalima i ke kaʻa a hoʻohana maʻalahi i ʻelua huila e holo a puni ke kūlanakauhale.

"Ua hoʻonui nui ʻia ke kūʻai ʻana o nā kaʻa uila," i kuhikuhi ai ʻo Sorenson."I ka lawe ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi i nā mea holo hou aku i ka hanana, ua wikiwiki ke kūʻai ʻana i nā kaʻa uila.Ma waena o nā hale kūʻai paikikala, ʻo nā paikikala uila ke kolu o ka māhele paikikala nui loa, ʻo ka lua wale nō i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā paikika mauna a me nā kaʻa alanui.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Spalding: "Ua holomua ka ʻoihana kaʻa i nā kaʻa uila me ka wikiwiki, a ua kōkua i ka ʻoihana kaʻa kaʻa e hana i nā holomua nui me ka ʻole o ka lawe ʻana i ke kumukūʻai piha o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā pā a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.""[Hiki ke hoʻohui maʻalahi kēia mau mea i loko] I ka hopena I ka huahana, ʻike ka hapa nui o [ka poʻe] i ka palekana a ʻaʻole e ʻike ʻia he ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe o nā mopeds a i ʻole kaʻa kaʻa."
Wahi a Spaulding, ʻo nā paikikala ʻiliʻili kekahi wahi wela o ka ʻoihana.He mea hoihoi loa ia i nā kaʻa kaʻa e makemake e hoʻomau ma ka hopena o ke alanui.Aia lākou ma waena o nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna a me nā kaʻa alanui, akā hāʻawi i kahi ʻike holo kaʻa kūʻokoʻa.
I kekahi manawa, ua kūʻai ʻia ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa ma o nā mea kūʻai kaʻa kaʻa kaiāulu a me nā hale kūʻai nui (e like me Sears, Roebuck & Co., a i ʻole Montgomery Ward & Co.).ʻOiai e noho mau ana nā hale kūʻai kaʻa kaʻa, ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou i kēia manawa he loea i nā huahana kiʻekiʻe no nā kaʻa kaʻa koʻikoʻi.

I kēia lā, ʻōlelo ka Reshoring Initiative he ʻoi aku ma mua o 200 mau mea hana paikikala ʻAmelika, mai Alchemy Bicycle Co. a i Victoria Cycles.ʻOiai he nui nā ʻoihana liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā mea hoʻolaha, aia kekahi mau mea pāʻani nui, me ka BCA (kahi hui o Kent International Corporation) a me Trek.Eia nō naʻe, nui nā hui, e like me Ross Bikes a me SRAM LLC, hoʻolālā i nā huahana ma ka home a hana iā lākou ma waho.
No ka laʻana, ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā huahana Ross ma Las Vegas akā ua hana ʻia ma Kina a me Taiwan.Ma waena o 1946 a me 1989, ua wehe ka ʻoihana ʻohana i nā hale hana ma Brooklyn, New York a me Allentown, Pennsylvania, a me nā paikikala i hana nui ʻia ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka hana.
"Makemake mākou e hana hou i nā paikikala ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, akā ʻo 90% o nā ʻāpana, e like me ka hoʻouna ʻana (ʻo ka mechanical mechanical kuleana no ka neʻe ʻana i ke kaulahao ma waena o nā sprockets e hoʻololi i nā kaʻa) i hana ʻia ma waho," wahi a Sean Rose, he lālā hanauna ʻehā.Ua ho'āla hou ka ʻohana i ka brand nāna i hoʻokumu i nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna i nā makahiki 1980."Akā naʻe, hoʻopau paha mākou i ka hana ʻana i kahi hana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ma aneʻi."
ʻOiai ua loli kekahi mau mea, ʻaʻole i loli ke kaʻina kumu o ka hui ʻana i nā paikikala no nā makahiki.Hoʻokomo ʻia ke kiʻi pena ma luna o ka mea paʻa, a laila hoʻokomo ʻia nā ʻāpana like ʻole e like me nā kaʻa, nā pale lepo, nā kaʻa, nā lima lima, nā pedal, nā noho a me nā huila.Hoʻokuʻu pinepine ʻia nā lima ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke kaʻa i loko o kahi pahu haiki.
Hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia ke kiʻi i nā ʻāpana metala tubular like ʻole, wili ʻia a pena ʻia.ʻO ka alumini a me ke kila ka mea maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia, akā hoʻohana ʻia nā mea hoʻohuihui carbon fiber a me nā papa titanium i nā kaʻa kaʻa kiʻekiʻe ma muli o ko lākou kaumaha māmā.
No ka poʻe nānā maʻamau, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa kaʻa ke nānā a hana like e like me nā makahiki he mau makahiki.Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā koho ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
"Ma keʻano laulā, ʻoi aku ka hoʻokūkū o ka mākeke i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā kiʻi a me nā ʻāpana," wahi a Spalding o ke Kulanui ʻo Southeastern Minnesota State.“Ua hoʻololi ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna, mai ke kiʻekiʻe, paʻa a maʻalahi, a lōʻihi, haʻahaʻa a lohi.I kēia manawa, nui nā koho ma waena o nā mea ʻelua.Loaʻa ka liʻiliʻi o nā kaʻa kaʻa alanui, akā ma ke ʻano o nā ʻāpana, geometry, kaumaha a me ka hana.ʻOi aku ka ʻokoʻa.
"ʻO ka hoʻoili ʻana ka mea paʻakikī loa ma nā kaʻa holo kaʻa āpau i kēia lā," wehewehe ʻo Spalding."E ʻike nō ʻoe i kekahi mau pahu hana kūloko e hoʻopili ana i ka 2 a 14 mau pahu i loko o ka hub hope, akā ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai a me ka paʻakikī, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ke komo ʻana a ʻaʻohe bonus hana e pili ana.
"He ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe ke kiʻi aniani ponoʻī, e like me ka ʻoihana kāmaʻa, ke hana nei ʻoe i nā huahana o ka nui e hālāwai me nā ʻano like ʻole," wahi a Spaulding."Akā naʻe, ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā paʻakikī nui e kū nei i nā kāmaʻa, ʻaʻole pono ke kiʻi i ka mea hoʻohana wale nō, akā pono nō hoʻi e mālama i ka hana, hōʻoluʻolu a me ka ikaika a puni ka nui.
“No laila, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka hui pū ʻana o kekahi mau ʻano metala a i ʻole ka carbon fiber, hiki i ka paʻakikī o nā ʻano geometric i ka pāʻani ke hana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi hoʻolālā, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī ma mua o ka ʻāpana hoʻokahi me ke kiʻekiʻe a me ka paʻakikī.Sex," wahi a Spalding."ʻO ke kihi a me ke kūlana o nā ʻāpana hiki ke loaʻa ka hopena kupaianaha i ka hana."
"ʻO ka palapala maʻamau o nā mea no ke kaʻa kaʻa e pili ana i 40 mau mea maʻamau mai kahi 30 mau mea hoʻolako like ʻole," i hoʻohui ʻia ai ʻo Zak Pashak, ka pelekikena o ka Detroit Bicycle Company.Aia kāna hui he 10 mau makahiki i loko o kahi hale brick i hōʻailona ʻole ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao Komohana o Detroit, kahi hui logo ma mua.
He mea kū hoʻokahi kēia hale hana 50,000 square feet no ka mea, hana lima ʻo ia i ke kaʻa holoʻokoʻa mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana a hiki i ka pau ʻana, me ke kiʻi a me nā huila.I kēia manawa, hana nā laina hui ʻelua i ka awelika o 50 mau paikikala i kēlā me kēia lā, akā hiki i ka hale hana ke hana i nā kaʻa he 300 i kēlā me kēia lā.ʻO ka nele o ka honua i nā ʻāpana i hoʻopau i ka ʻoihana holo kaʻa holoʻokoʻa ke pale nei i ka ʻoihana mai ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hana.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana i kāna mau hōʻailona ponoʻī, me ka hoʻohālike kaulana Sparrow commuter, ʻo Detroit Bicycle Company kekahi mea hana ʻaelike.Ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻo ia i nā paikikala no Dick's Sporting Goods a me nā ʻauwaʻa maʻamau no nā hōʻailona e like me Faygo, New Belgium Brewing a me Toll Brothers.I ka manawa i hoʻolauleʻa ai ʻo Schwinn i kāna makahiki 125th, ua hana ʻo Detroit Bikes i kahi pūʻulu kūikawā o 500 Collegiate models.
Wahi a Pashak, hana ʻia ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa uila ma waho.Eia naʻe, ʻokoʻa kāna ʻoihana 10 makahiki i ka ʻoihana no ka mea hoʻohana ʻo ia i ke kila chrome e hōʻuluʻulu i nā kiʻi i hana ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.Hoʻohana ka hapa nui o nā mea hana paikikala kūloko i kā lākou mau kiʻi i lawe ʻia mai.Hoʻokomo ʻia nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe, e like me nā kaila a me nā huila.
"Loaʻa iā mākou nā mana hana kila i loko o ka hale e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana i kēlā me kēia ʻano kaʻa kaʻa," wehewehe ʻo Pashak.“Hoʻomaka ke kaʻina hana me ka ʻoki ʻana a me ka piko ʻana i nā paipu kila maka o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā nui.Hoʻokomo ʻia kēia mau ʻāpana tubular i loko o kahi jig a hoʻopaʻa lima ʻia e hana i ke kaʻa kaʻa.
"Ma mua o ka pena ʻia ʻana o ka ʻaha holoʻokoʻa, e hoʻopili pū ʻia nā brackets i hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻoponopono i nā kaʻa a me nā kaula uila i ke kiʻi," wahi a Pashak."Ke neʻe nei ka ʻoihana kaʻa kaʻa i kahi ala ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi, akā ke hana nei mākou i nā mea ma ke ala kahiko no ka mea ʻaʻole lawa kā mākou helu e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i ka hoʻopukapuka ʻana i nā mīkini automated."
ʻOiai ʻo ka hale hana kaʻa kaʻa nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻaʻole hoʻohana i ka automation, akā ua kokoke e loli kēia kūlana.ʻO ka mea kanu a BCA ma Manning, South Carolina he ʻehiku makahiki ka mōʻaukala a uhi ʻia kahi ʻāpana o 204,000 square feet.Hoʻopuka ia i nā paikikala nui no Amazon, Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart a me nā mea kūʻai aku.Loaʻa iā ia ʻelua laina hui kelepona-hoʻokahi no nā kaʻa kaʻa holo hoʻokahi a hoʻokahi no nā kaʻa kaʻa holo nui-hiki ke hana i nā kaʻa a hiki i 1,500 i kēlā me kēia lā, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kahi hale hana hoʻoheheʻe pauda hou.
Hoʻohana pū ʻo BCA i kahi mea kanu hui 146,000 kapuaʻi square ma kahi mau mile.Hoʻopili ia i nā paikikala maʻamau a me nā huahana liʻiliʻi i hana ʻia ma nā laina hui lima.Eia naʻe, hana ʻia ka hapa nui o nā huahana BCA ma Asia Hema.
"ʻOiai ua hana nui mākou ma South Carolina, aia wale nō ma kahi o 15% o kā mākou loaʻa kālā," wahi a Arnold Kamler, Luna Nui o Kent International."Pono mākou e lawe mai i nā ʻāpana āpau a mākou e ʻākoakoa ai.Eia nō naʻe, ke hana nei mākou i nā papa, nā ʻōpala, nā lima lima a me nā rim ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
"Akā naʻe, i mea e hana ai, pono e hoʻohana ʻia kā mākou hale hou," wahi a Kamler.“Ke kūʻai nei mākou i kēia manawa i nā mea pono a mākou e pono ai.Hoʻolālā mākou e hoʻokomo i ka hale hana i loko o ʻelua makahiki.
"ʻO kā mākou pahuhopu ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka manawa hoʻopuka," wahi a Kamler, ka mea i hana ma ka ʻoihana ʻohana no 50 mau makahiki."Makemake mākou e hiki ke hoʻokō i kahi hoʻohālike kūikawā 30 mau lā ma mua.I kēia manawa, ma muli o ke kaulahao o waho, pono mākou e hoʻoholo a kauoha i nā ʻāpana ʻeono mahina ma mua.
"No ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka kūleʻa lōʻihi, pono mākou e hoʻohui i nā automation hou aʻe," wahi a Kamler."Ua loaʻa i kā mākou hale hana kekahi mau mīkini hana huila.Eia kekahi laʻana, loaʻa iā mākou kahi mīkini e hoʻokomo i nā waha i loko o ka huila huila a me kekahi mīkini e hoʻopololei i ka huila.
"Akā naʻe, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka hale hana, ʻoi aku ka manual o ka laina hui, ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa loa i ke ʻano o 40 mau makahiki i hala," wahi a Kamler.“Ke hana nei mākou me kekahi mau kulanui e hoʻoponopono i kēia pilikia.Manaʻo mākou e hoʻohana i nā robots no kekahi mau noi i nā makahiki ʻelua e hiki mai ana.
Ua hoʻohui ʻo Fanuc America Corp Global Account Executive Director James Cooper: "Ke ʻike nei mākou e ulu nui ana nā mea hana kaʻa kaʻa i nā robots, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻoihana e hana i nā paʻa paʻa a me nā paikikala uila, ʻoi aku ka kaumaha."ʻOihana, kaʻa kaʻa ʻO ka hoʻi ʻana o nā hana ʻoihana e hoʻoulu i ka piʻi ʻana o ka noi no ka automation i ka wā e hiki mai ana.”
I hoʻokahi kenekulia aku nei, ʻo ka ʻaoʻao Komohana o Chicago ke kikowaena o ka hana kaʻa kaʻa.Mai ka makahiki 1880 a hiki i ka makahiki 1980, ua hana ka hui ʻo Windy City i nā paikikala i nā kala like ʻole, nā ʻano a me nā nui.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, no ka hapa nui o ke kenekulia 20, ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻelua hapakolu o nā paikikala āpau i kūʻai ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia ma Chicago.
ʻO kekahi o nā hui mua loa o ka ʻoihana, ʻo Loring & Keene (mea hana paipu ma mua), ua hoʻomaka e hana i kahi ʻano mea hou i kapa ʻia he "paikikala" i ka makahiki 1869. Ma ka makahiki 1890, ua ʻike ʻia kahi ʻāpana o Lake Street ma ke ʻano he "platoon kaʻa. ” no ka mea he home ia ma mua o 40 mau mea hana.I ka makahiki 1897, 88 mau hui o Chicago i hana i 250,000 paikikala i ka makahiki.
He mau hale liʻiliʻi nā hale hana he nui, akā ua lilo kekahi mau ʻoihana nui, e hana ana i nā ʻenehana hana nui i hoʻohana ʻia e ka ʻoihana kaʻa.ʻO Gormully & Jeffery Manufacturing Co. kekahi o nā mea hana paikikala nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa mai 1878 a i 1900. Na R. Philip Gormully lāua ʻo Thomas Jeffery i hoʻokele.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua hoʻopuka ʻo Gormully & Jeffery i nā peni kalaiwa kiʻekiʻe, akā ua hoʻomohala lākou i kahi moʻo kaʻa kaʻa "palekana" kūleʻa ma lalo o ka brand Rambler.Ua loaʻa ka hui e ka American Bicycle Company i ka makahiki 1900.
ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Thomas Jeffery e hana i nā kaʻa Rambler ma kahi hale hana 50 mau mile ma ka ʻākau o Chicago ma Kenosha, Wisconsin, a lilo i paionia mua i ka ʻoihana kaʻa ʻAmelika.Ma o ke ʻano o ka hui ʻana a me ka loaʻa ʻana, ua ulu ka hui ʻo Jeffrey i nā kaʻa ʻAmelika a me Chrysler.
ʻO kekahi mea hana hou ʻo Western Wheel Works, kahi i holo mua i ka hale hana kaʻa kaʻa nui loa ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o Chicago.I ka makahiki 1890, ua hoʻolaha ka hui i nā ʻenehana hana nui e like me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka metala a me ke kuʻi kūʻē.ʻO Western Wheel Works ka hui paikikala ʻAmelika mua e hoʻohana i nā ʻāpana metala i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e hōʻuluʻulu i kāna mau huahana, me ka brand Crescent kūʻai maikaʻi loa.
No nā makahiki he mau makahiki, ʻo Arnold, Schwinn & Co ke aliʻi o ka ʻoihana kaʻa kaʻa.
Ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻo Schwinn i ke ʻano o ka brazing a me ka wili ʻana i ke kila tubular e hana i kahi kiʻi ikaika a māmā.ʻO ka nānā ʻana i ka maikaʻi, ka hoʻolālā ʻana i ka maka, nā mana kūʻai kūʻai like ʻole a me kahi kaulahao lako i hoʻohui ʻia e kōkua i ka ʻoihana e hoʻomalu i ka ʻoihana kaʻa.Ma ka makahiki 1950, ʻo Schwinn hoʻokahi o kēlā me kēia ʻehā kaʻa i kūʻai ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.Ua hana ka hui i 1 miliona mau paikikala ma 1968. Eia naʻe, ua hana ʻia ka Schwinn hope loa i hana ʻia ma Chicago ma 1982.
