! Public roads also can run!
walking bicycle is, "to walk" in a state in which standing to pedal you can run breeze like a bicycle in. In addition, because by not conform to the standard of in "ordinary bicycle" to the Road Traffic Act handling of the "power-assisted bicycle", you can run a public road in the same way as the general of the bicycle.
Walking Bicycle, is its reputation?
here Good 1:. sense of stability of the three-wheeled unique
Miwa so, it does not have to wander in at the start, do not worry about that fall during the running. Even when in such also stop full time also waiting for a signal in the stop when going, you do not need to get a foot on the ground. In excellent stability, young people, of course, any person of middle-aged and older can enjoy feel free to bicycle walk. In addition, all three-wheel if they adopt a disk brake, it will exhibit a high braking force is also in case of emergency, I can ride with confidence higher safety.
here Good 2:. Saddle there is no
because there is no saddle, usually of "straddling" such as when riding a bike is nothing to do with the operation or "straddles" attitude. This if, I can also ride to feel free when you are wearing a kimono even when you are wearing a skirt. Then, only stepping alternately to walk the left and right of the pedal while standing, we proceed to the front and the breeze.
In addition, when there is a need to walk by pushing by hand is okay if the "walking mode". Pedal in one switch is stored in a compact, you can walk by pushing standing between the rear wheels of the two. This if, to easy to push to walk than ordinary bicycle, I hope not get in the way even in a narrow place.
here Good 3:. Slope happy traveling
in the electric assist system installed, then it requires less depressing force, thanks to the compact assist motor and a three-speed transmission drive unit, I climb also comfortably slope. The removable lithium-ion battery can be charged from a household electrical outlet. Charging time is about 2 hours, mileage (flat road, low mode) of the one-time charge of about 20km. With the aid of a motor-assisted function, maximum speed is 24km / h. It is sufficient power to sentence to use in everyday life.
here Good 4:. Dedication to craftsmanship of Japanese engineers
in color variations four colors of "Brilliant Red", "Moegi Green," "champagne Gold", "cherry pink" deployment, you can choose to suit your personality. Design, gentle curves are frequently used, is a gentle and friendly feel. Or extensive use of aluminum casting to realize the beautiful modeling smooth, with or subjected to high-quality dedicated paint on all parts, "never pull out the hand, with a commitment, neatly make" or raw throughout the Japanese Manufacturing of It has been.
Notes 1:. There is a considerable weight
size is comparatively compact (total length 1195mm × overall width 596mm × handle height 1080mm~1230mm), but are about Ikeru also directly entered the elevator of the apartment, the weight it is a little heavy for women because there 36.8kg. For example, such as when a large step should not and do not move to lift where there might be very.
Note point 2:. Fairly price is high
as described above, there is also the fact that they are made to really have a Japanese preoccupation, is the price to be worried about, 20,000 yen (consumption tax, vehicle body only, shipping charges another) and will. This is, if about the same price as the general of the motor-assisted bicycle, I might go as popular as seen here and there in the city.
