WHILL Introduces Electric Scooter Mobility Service at Sagamiko Mori Mori

WHILL Inc., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced a new mobility service featuring electric scooters at the Sagamiko Mori Mori adventure resort in Kanagawa Prefecture. Located just a 50-minute drive from the capital, this beautiful facility is surrounded by lush nature and offers an ideal environment for families and groups to explore. The service is available for a limited time during the summer vacation period, allowing visitors of all ages to enjoy the scenic landscapes with ease.

The Sagamiko Mori Mori resort spans approximately 450,000 tsubo (about 1.5 million square meters) and includes various attractions such as amusement park areas and camping sites. It focuses on fostering connections with nature, featuring activities appealing to families and individuals of all ages. However, the hilly landscape can pose mobility challenges for elderly individuals and others with limited mobility due to the presence of inclines leading to various attractions. Although a lift provides access to the summit area, WHILL's electric scooters allow for a more comfortable and personal experience of the natural surroundings.

Designed with ergonomic handling akin to bicycles but operating on four stable wheels, WHILL scooters facilitate smooth movement across the undulating terrain. The scooters operate at the same speed as pedestrians in walking areas, making them accessible for everyone, regardless of age, physical ability, or health conditions. The WHILL Model R, the high-performance scooter being introduced, can effortlessly navigate over obstacles up to 5 cm high and tackle slopes of up to 10 degrees while maintaining a steady speed. Moreover, it features impressive maneuverability to turn in tight spaces, ensuring a secure and pleasant journey through the scenic outdoor environment.

WHILL Inc. is committed to fostering an inclusive society through collaboration with various stakeholders to promote accessible mobility. With Japan's aging population, which is nearing 30% of the total demographic, and increased inbound tourism numbers, the demand for accessible environments is growing. WHILL’s mobility service, which includes insurance, maintenance, and a system for managing mobility devices, allows for seamless implementation without significant capital investment, making it increasingly popular across tourist spots, theme parks, and accommodations throughout the region.
