Background of the Sales Launch
eMoBi Co., Ltd. has been operating and providing electric tuk-tuks primarily for tourism in the Kamakura and Shonan areas. In recent years, an increasing number of local residents have voiced desires such as, 'I want to use it not just for sightseeing, but as a daily means of transportation,' and 'I want to own one myself.' The Kamakura and Shonan areas are characterized by narrow roads and hilly terrain, making even short daily trips burdensome for the elderly and those who feel uneasy driving regular cars.
Such challenges are not limited to specific tourist destinations but are structural urban issues common to suburban cities and rural areas throughout Japan.
On the other hand, conventional car-centric transportation means are not necessarily optimal for everyone due to:
- High maintenance costs
- Parking space constraints
- Environmental impact
Through practical operations in tourist areas, eMoBi Co., Ltd. has confirmed that a mobility solution that is friendly to both people and the city is viable under the conditions of 'short-to-medium distance, low speed, and compact size.' This launch of vehicle sales is not merely about selling units; it is a critical step to expand a sustainable mobility system rooted in local communities.
