A specific small motorized bicycle that can be ridden by those aged 16 and above without a license. There may be many who have heard the name but don't know what kind of vehicle it is… Riding this "non-pedaling bicycle," which packs the best features of electric bicycles and motorcycles, will make your outings more enjoyable than ever.

A bicycle without pedals for a quick outing

In the busy days, I want to reset my feelings just a bit. That's when you can quickly ride the pedal-less bicycle "E-KON RIDE." E-KON RIDE is the latest mobility under the newly established "specific small motorized" category in 2023.

This bicycle, created under the supervision of the powerful NECTO Pro Racing in the motorcycle world, can be ridden by anyone aged 16 and over without a license.

Since it has no pedals, it runs easily and without fatigue. It seems pleasant to hop on and head out quickly.

A size that is easy to ride, designed to fit the Japanese skeletal structure

With a design that accommodates the Japanese skeletal structure, the total length is 1450mm and the seat height is 740mm. It has a size that is easy to ride and allows people in the 150cm height range to touch the ground. If the height is too high, it can be difficult to straddle, and if you can't reach the ground, it can be dangerous in case of an emergency. It seems like you can ride without such worries.

The heaviest motor and battery are concentrated on the rear wheel, making it easy to change direction with the front wheel. Even for the author, who is not confident in their strength, it feels like riding an electric bicycle, and I think I can handle it well.

The 16-inch fat tires are robust even on rough roads, providing excellent maneuverability. It is equipped with front and rear suspensions that absorb shocks. You won't feel pain in your hips even on bumps, gravel roads, or unpaved paths, so you can ride vigorously.

Equipped with a 500W high-power motor, it enables powerful rides. Its power is about twice that of an electric bicycle. You can comfortably climb hills without slowing down.

The battery can be removed and charged using a household outlet. It looks like a motorcycle, but its usage is just like that of an electric bicycle. It’s packed with the best features of both bicycles and motorcycles.

It is possible to travel about 50 km on a single charge. 50 km is roughly a travel distance of about 1 hour by car. This allows for a distance comparable to a car's in a light, bicycle-like manner. It seems feasible to casually shop or dine at stores that previously felt a bit too far.

The after-sales support is also substantial, so I can feel secure even after purchase. There are lots of videos on YouTube, and I can consult via LINE, so I would like to challenge myself to self-maintenance for the first time.
