[Specified small scooter] Debuting from the 50,000 yen range! Kick scooters, bicycles, or scooters—what should I choose?

Alpen will sequentially release three specific small motorized vehicles: kick scooters, bicycles, and scooter types. The prices start from 59,990 yen, making it a reasonable option that will make daily commutes, shopping, and other movements easier. There's a sense that the common understanding of mobility is about to change!

Shocking price of 50,000 yen! Kick scooter type

First up is the "kick scooter type." It's a classic type where you stand while riding, and it folds compactly when you lean the handle down, making it easy to load into a car. It features 10-inch tires and a front suspension, promising a pretty good ride quality.

The range on a single charge is about 40 km, allowing for a week of commuting without the need to recharge. The surprising price of 59,990 yen is impressive given these specs.

The frame is made of aluminum, making it lightweight, which is an attractive feature. Additionally, it can be folded compactly like a folding bicycle, making it exceptionally portable. The riding distance per charge is approximately 40 km.

If you are looking for comfort while sitting, this is it! Scooter type

Personally, the one I most want to ride is the "scooter type." It focuses on seating comfort, with a wide step and a relaxed position, allowing for smooth movement thanks to the 14-inch tires. The travel distance per charge is the longest among the three models at about 48 km, making it suitable for a little trip.

You can also attach a separately sold basket to the rear, making it convenient for shopping.
