High-spec model with dust and water resistance equivalent to IP65
The manufacturer's suggested retail price for evuco (Ibuko), a specific small moped that is gaining attention as a "full-electric bicycle" and "bicycle that doesn't require pedaling," will be revised starting April 2026. The price, previously 168,000 yen, will be lowered to 155,000 yen. This is because the production system and parts procurement have stabilized, allowing for cost reductions in materials, transportation, and other expenses. There are no changes to quality or specifications.
evuco is a license-free full-electric bicycle with a proven track record of 60,000 units in operation in the United States. It was developed with the concept of "a bicycle that adults can ride naturally," and its name combines "ev" for electric mobility, "u" for being close to you, and "co" for a compact companion, aiming to be an electric mobility that "just fits" into your life.
In addition to its stylish design that is easy to use for commuting and school, it features a chainless structure. This provides peace of mind, such as "not soiling shoes" and "not getting long skirts caught," while also reducing maintenance effort.
Furthermore, while many full-electric bicycles currently on the market are susceptible to rain and dust, evuco achieves dust and water resistance equivalent to IP65 by minimizing seams between parts and using high-density materials. It can be stored outdoors and is robust enough to withstand "domino-effect" collapses in bike racks.
In terms of riding performance, it features a motor structure designed for practicality on slopes. It allows for stable riding even when starting or on gentle inclines, and is designed with consideration for environments with varying elevations expected in daily use.
evuco began general sales last August, and six months have passed. Production was previously in units of approximately 200 units, but due to being chosen by many users and increasing production volume, parts can now be procured in bulk. In conjunction with this, factory operating efficiency has also increased, enabling stable production. Additionally, by optimizing container loading to minimize empty space, transportation costs have been reduced. The combination of these factors has led to overall cost reduction, resulting in the current price revision.
