Popular Post Toshio Uemura Posted February 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi there, I read various questions on how EUCs are spreading in Japan. So I decided to share some pictures and videos from our group here in the Kansai area. Please ? enjoy! https://photos.app.goo.gl/otwk8fFTsSQbnyM43 15 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Toshio Uemura Posted February 26, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2018 For those of you who still wonder which EUC is best for them, you may find some hints in some of the videos. There also is an acceleration comparison of the ACM, the MSuper V3s+, the Tesla and the V8. I love ❤️ them all, but the Tesla is really fast. Irresponsibly fast some might say. That day we encountered a policeman who complained our music that vortexed out of the V8 was tooooo loud for the other people in the OSAKA Castle Park. ? He kindly asked us to turn the volume down a notch and ride responsible. Haaiiii! ? I hope that answers the legal questions: it’s a grey zone! Of course it is forbidden ?, I suppose, but it is not reinforced by our kind, beloved and highly respected police, the best in the world! ❤️ 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Rides Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That's awesome, I'm glad to see them spreading in Japan. I'm heading to Tokyo at the end of next month and wish I had a wheel to ride around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you ever come to the Kyoto, OSAKA area, tell us. You can ride with us, I have 5 EUCs, so I can easily spare one. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubadragonsan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello Toshio or Uemura-san, Can you please tell me in Osaka, are EUCs allowed to be ridden on sidewalks or roads? Are there any special rules and regulations to follow? If I come to Osaka, is there a shop where I can rent a KingSong 16S to ride around town? Are there good riding trails in Osaka? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ride with you? I currently have a King Song 14s and I've been riding for about a month, but I'd LOVE to try out some other EUC's if you have the time and patience... Also, if you show me somewhere good to eat, I'd gladly treat you to the food! Thanks! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't message you in the forum, but I do actively use the discord channel. If you join that we can easily contact each other. Here is the link https://discord.gg/VQQmPkT If you can contact me through the forum's messenger service that'd be good, but I'll see a discord message immediately I'm landing in about 3 hours, and I'll be there until Saturday evening ?

dongie Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 https://teamkepler.com/archives/taro_blog/20181002 An interesting article (in Japanese) on the recent police activity related to EUC user in Japan. Discusses the problems with current law. And that it probably should be changed. Currently there has been 2 police involvements with EUC owner. 1) https://response.jp/article/2018/09/28/314469.html the most recent one, explained in the article above. 2) https://www.kyoto-np.co.jp/top/article/20180110000115 in January 2018, when there was accident between EUC and motorbike. Perhaps eventually the law can be adjusted. Let's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eucentricbiped Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hi all, first time posting! I live in Houston but I'll be visiting Japan from early to mid-December starting in the Kansai area and moving up to Kanto toward the middle of the month. Won't be able to bring my EUC with me sadly but if anyone's around would be cool to meet up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people on the street are aware of recent arrests (3 so far?) related to EUC and tell you not to ride it. Supposedly clear to go in parks (but some parks specifically forbid bicycles and thus EUCs), and on private property / not public roads.

Dirty Joe Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Here in Zama, about 20 miles SW of Tokyo. There are no EUCs around here except of one other American and me. I have asked the Japanese police about them and they tell me to keep them out of the traffic, I passed a couple cops on side streets and rode past a few Kobans (small police Stand) in the past couple days with just looks of WTF! A friendly smile goes a long way with the Japanese . Just don't ride your wheel like a Jackass and you should be fine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where? I got told to stop riding (slower than walking speed, mind you) by a rando in Fukuoka while I was going from the station to where I had my car parked. I've taken the wheel to Osaka, Mie, Hokkaido and ridden it on very narrow back roads (always avoiding main traffic roads) without issues. I got told once by a police in a *really* rural area to get off the wheel and had to carry it back to my car few 100 meters (again, i was going at or below walking speed), on a completely deserted pedestrian pass next to a narrow countryside road. 未来ホイール looks to have been a website of some kind but they are currently down, インモーション - Mirai Wheel - 電動一輪車Miraiwheel 未来ホイールhttps://miraiwheel.com/collections/schooter Mirai Wheel · サインイン; 0 0 · ショップ · 未来ホイールについて · コンタクト · ギャラリー · ホーム インモーション Page 1 of 1. インモーションV5とインモーションV8. 未来型の ... (from google cache) There's a youtube channel called same but no posts in last 10 months - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBNOs4rTHqtZBBARug4DVTg/videos I'm pretty sure whoever was running that was prolly just a foreigner who might have left Japan.

Dirty Joe Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I think the cops in Fukuoka play hardball, a couple years ago three co-workers and myself was on a job there. We got stopped walking on the sidewalk and had to go with the cops back to the hotel to show them our passports. We all had military contractor ID cards that was not good enough for him. It all ended well, just a temporary pain in the butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Joe Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Got my wheel (KS16S) registered as a bicycle on Camp Zama, Japan (United States Army). Now that is done, I will attempt to buy bicycle liability Insurance from the Japanese with my registered “Bicycle”. Buying Bicycle insurance here in Japan is done at your local convenience store (7-11, Larson’s), you also can pay your utility bills there such as electric and water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Montpetit Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hello Toshio, I live in Kyoto and I am interested in getting a wheel. Can you tell if they are sold here or do I have to order from US or another location.Thanks John 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
