Background of Sales Launch

eMoBi Co., Ltd. has primarily operated and provided electric tuk-tuk services for tourism in the Kamakura and Shonan areas. In recent years, there has been a growing number of voices from local residents saying, 'We want to use it not only for sightseeing but also as a means of daily transportation,' and 'We want to own one ourselves.' The Kamakura and Shonan areas are characterized by narrow roads and many slopes, making even short-distance daily travel burdensome for the elderly and those who are anxious about driving cars.

These challenges are not limited to specific tourist destinations but are common urban structural issues in suburban cities and rural areas across Japan.

On the other hand, conventional car-centric transportation methods are not necessarily optimal for everyone due to:

・High maintenance costs

・Parking space constraints

・Environmental impact

Through its proven operational experience in tourist areas, eMoBi Co., Ltd. has confirmed that a means of transportation that is gentle on both people and the town can be established under the conditions of 'short to medium distances, low speed, and small size.' This vehicle sales launch is not merely a sale, but an important step towards expanding a sustainable mobility system rooted in the community.
