【Electric Motorcycle】Get your "means of transportation" for about ¥130,000! A compact, foldable electric motorcycle that can also fit in a car.

Once I drive to a destination by car, I want to move lightly for camping or minor shopping. The foldable electric motorcycle "FOLMO" responds to such needs. Since it can be loaded into a car for transport, it seems to expand your range of activities as a "second mode of transport" for trips or nearby areas.

It's a distance that doesn't warrant taking a car out

Convenience stores, stations, shops a bit farther away. It's not far enough to take a car, but too far to walk. Such halfway distances are surprisingly common.

"FOLMO" is a foldable electric bike that addresses such concerns. Since it is classified as a type of moped, you can proudly ride it on public roads with a number plate. There's no need to pedal; just twist the throttle and glide forward. Being able to take care of errands without breaking a sweat is a blessing during hot seasons.

When folded, it serves as a second set of legs even on trips

Indeed, the biggest appeal of the FOLMO is its foldability. When folded, it becomes small enough to be sent by courier and can also be loaded into a car trunk. The main body weighs about 21kg, making it easy to carry for an electric bike. With a low-positioned U-shaped frame, getting on and off is not cumbersome.

It handles slopes and rough roads reliably.

Despite its compact size, it can tackle steep slopes of 11 degrees with the power of its 500W motor. It advances vigorously and climbs strongly. The 20-inch fat tires, approximately 3 inches wide, grip the road well, ensuring stable performance even on gravel paths and bumps. The front and rear disc brakes are effective, allowing for precise speed control even on downhill slopes.

Expanding your range of activities on weekends, one more round.

The battery can be removed from the vehicle and charged indoors. It's surprising that once fully charged, it can run about 40 to 50 km. Its uses seem to expand from shopping nearby to leisurely rides on holidays.

Since it is classified as an electric motorcycle (type 1), a driver's license, helmet, and liability insurance are required, but it allows you to extend your reach to distances that a bicycle cannot cover. How about welcoming it as a second mode of transport that fills the gap between cars and walking?
