〈Must-See for Those Seeking New Businesses〉Electric Motorcycle Manufacturer Sun Emperor Begins Recruiting Authorized Dealers in Kanto Area!

Ryu Sho Co., Ltd., which operates the electric mobility brand "Sun Emperor," is commencing recruitment of new authorized sales agencies in the Kanto area (1 metropolis and 6 prefectures) with the aim of further popularizing "specified small motorized bicycles" (Tokutei Kogata Gendōki-tsuki Jitensha), a next-generation mobility option that does not require a license for public road use. To date, our company has been providing safe and accessible electric mobility solutions in collaboration with approximately 400 partner companies nationwide. In particular, the 4-wheel model "LBIRD," scheduled to be launched as a new product, has received a tremendous response from segments that conventional 2-wheel models could not reach (e.g., seniors and those who frequently move luggage) due to its unique stable structure and carrying capacity. The Kanto area, where approximately one-third of Japan's population is concentrated, is a region with the highest demand and expectations for electric mobility. This is due to urban last-mile transportation challenges, difficulties in movement caused by specific terrains in suburban and Tama areas, and high environmental awareness. In this vast market, we aim to recruit partner companies rooted in the community to jointly build an infrastructure for "safe and secure mobility." 【Recruitment Area】 Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma prefectures 【Four Benefits of Becoming a Sun Emperor Dealer】 Overwhelming Product Strength and Market Superiority Our greatest strength is handling rare "three-wheel models" and "four-wheel models" of specified small motorized bicycles in Japan.
