【Electric Bike】Get "means of transportation" for around 100,000 yen! It can be folded and loaded into a car

For the past few years, this specific lightweight electric scooter has been a topic of discussion. I want to use it not only for urban riding but also as transportation while traveling. The "LumiRide," which can be folded for loading into a car, seems to expand the range of activities.

No license required to ride, a new way to get around on holidays

It's not worth taking the car, but it's a bit too far to walk. There are surprisingly many such distances to travel. "LumiRide" is a specific small electric vehicle that can be ridden without a driver's license for those over 16. The maximum speed when riding on the road is 20 km/h, making it a viable option for short-distance trips like shopping in the neighborhood.

However, no license required does not mean you can ride freely everywhere. Generally, you must ride on the left side of the road and it is necessary to have a license plate and join a compulsory insurance. Wearing a helmet is also a recommended obligation. Because it’s a casual vehicle, it’s essential to understand traffic rules and enjoy the ride safely.

Fold it up and put it in the car! I want to use it for getting around while traveling

What attracted me the most personally is that it can be folded and loaded into a car. For example, you can drive to a campsite and after arriving, explore the surroundings with LumiRide. It seems convenient when you want to go shopping at a store a bit far away while traveling.

When not in use, it can be folded compactly, which helps reduce storage space at home. It also comes with a rear basket, allowing you to carry shopping or luggage while moving.

It comes standard with a smart tag

If you plan to use electric mobility in daily life, theft while parked is a concern. LumiRide comes with a smart tag as standard equipment, which supports locating it in case of loss or theft. While it doesn't prevent theft itself, it's a reassuring feature for a vehicle that you take outdoors.

The battery is removable. You can bring the battery indoors to charge it without having to carry the entire vehicle close to an outlet. It seems easy to use even in environments where there is no power source at the parking spot, like in apartment living.

With a range of about 35 km, where should you ride on holidays?

Drive far by car, then enjoy freedom to explore with small mobility. If you head out with the LumiRide, you might encounter a slightly different landscape than usual.
