This vehicle falls under the 'Specified Small Motorized Bicycle (Specified Small Moped)' category, which can be driven without a license by anyone aged 16 or older.
When teaser information was previously released, we received many comments such as 'I want to use it for getting around the neighborhood,' 'It looks good for my parents if it can be ridden without a license,' and 'I want to know the details as soon as possible.' It garnered significant attention and a huge response not only from actual users but also from family members looking at it from the perspective of 'wanting them to use it safely.'
To meet these expectations, we are finally officially releasing the product information today.

■ Peace of Mind and High Practicality Realized by a 4-Wheel Specified Small Moped
Our first 4-wheel model of a specified small moped, the 'BLAZE e-CARGO', combines high stability due to its 4-wheel structure with practicality suitable for both everyday use and business operations. Equipped with a cargo bed capable of carrying up to 30kg, it can be used with peace of mind in various scenarios, such as neighborhood shopping or transporting small parcels.
Additionally, its compact body design allows for space-saving parking; four units can fit into the parking space of a single passenger car.
It comes standard with one battery, providing a cruising range of approximately 50km. Furthermore, by purchasing an additional optional battery and using two, the cruising range can be extended up to roughly 100km. Because the battery configuration can be chosen based on usage scenarios and travel distance, it flexibly accommodates everything from short-distance travel to long-distance use.
This product corresponds to the 'Specified Small Motorized Bicycle' category, which has been gaining attention in recent years. Features include being drivable without a license for those 16 and older, with a maximum speed of 20km/h (6km/h when driving on sidewalks). Obtaining a license plate and enrolling in compulsory automobile liability insurance are required, and wearing a helmet is strongly recommended (a duty to make an effort). It realizes an accessible and practical means of transportation that is largely unaffected by age or whether one holds a driver's license.

[As legs for the elderly]
A vehicle that responds to voices saying, 'I can't let go of my car and hesitate to surrender my license' or 'I feel anxious walking or riding a bicycle.'
With sufficient load capacity, it supports daily movement for shopping after surrendering a driver's license, allowing comfortable travel within one's living area even without a car.
[As legs in factories, logistics warehouses, and facilities]
By utilizing the wide cargo bed, it is easy to transport small items like cardboard boxes and materials.
Also, it contributes to improving the efficiency of on-site movement and reducing physical burden, serving as an active 'leg' within factories and facilities.
Due to the maximum speed limit unique to specified small mopeds, it is easy to handle even for women and those unconfident in driving.
In addition, it serves as an excellent means of transportation within campsites, carrying luggage from parking lots to sites, and moving around expansive golf courses.
■ Main Features and Functions
- Automatically locks upon startup, preventing accidental acceleration. The seat position can be adjusted according to body size and posture.
- The battery can be charged by removing it or directly from a household outlet while still attached to the vehicle. The cargo bed has a low design with a ground clearance of approximately 550mm, offering a wide space equivalent to two shopping baskets.
- Equipped with a 500W motor capable of powerful driving even on slopes or when carrying heavy loads. Since it has a reverse function, turning around in tight spaces is smooth.
