Gadgets

Experience a New Way of Mobility with Your Family

The NFR-01 series electric cycles, which can be ridden by individuals aged 16 and older without a driver’s license, are designed as a shared mode of transportation for the entire family. Therefore, a family test ride is highly recommended to:

  • Confirm comfort for all generations: Simultaneously evaluate how the cycle suits different body types and uses within the family.

  • Select based on family mobility styles: Determine appropriate battery capacity for student commutes, experience an upgrade from electric-assist bicycles for parents’ commutes or shopping, and assess ease of getting on/off for seniors.

  • Facilitate smooth purchase decisions: Prevent post-purchase dissatisfaction by making an informed choice together.

For those considering a gift for individuals who have returned their driver’s license, a joint test ride ensures the gift will be genuinely appreciated.

What to Check During Your Test Ride

  • Acceleration and Operability: Experience the immediate acceleration upon twisting the throttle, the effectiveness of the brakes, and the lightness of the steering – aspects not conveyable through a catalog.

  • Physical Fit: Determine if the size, foot placement, and saddle comfort are suitable for your body by actually sitting on the cycle.

  • Optional Equipment: Inquire about available options and explore how to customize the cycle for your specific needs.
