Blaze Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Hideyuki Ichikawa; hereinafter "Blaze") has commenced sales of "additional batteries" and "additional AC adapters" as dedicated optional products for its newly launched 4-wheel electric bike, "BLAZE e-CARGO". "BLAZE e-CARGO" is an electric mobility vehicle that falls under the category of "specified small motorized bicycles," which can be driven without a license by individuals aged 16 or older. It combines high stability due to its 4-wheel structure with the practicality of being able to carry cargo. Its features include the ability to remove the battery for indoor charging, as well as direct charging from a household 100V outlet while the battery is still mounted on the vehicle. It is attracting attention as a public road-legal vehicle that can be used like a "small kei truck." With the addition of these options, driving performance and convenience have been further improved. *The product images shown may differ in color, specifications, etc., from the actual product. ■ Achieves a maximum range of approximately 100km with an additional battery "BLAZE e-CARGO" comes standard with one battery, allowing for a range of approximately 50km. By using the newly released dedicated additional battery in conjunction, a maximum range of approximately 100km can be achieved. A driving range of 100km is sufficient for day-long travel within a city, and by reducing concerns about battery levels, it enhances the freedom and peace of mind of mobility itself. 目安 (Approximate) 100km range: - Area within a 100km radius from Tokyo - Area within a 100km radius from Nagoya ■ Introduction of optional products 1.
