RESCUE-1 Launches Towing Service for Micro-Mobility Vehicles

On November 14, RESCUE-1, a specialized organization based in Osaka, Japan, has officially rolled out a dedicated towing service specifically aimed at micro-mobility vehicles such as electric scooters, electric assist bicycles, and senior mobility scooters. This innovative service responds to the increasing demand for specialized and agile towing solutions as more urban residents embrace alternative transportation methods.

Service Overview

RESCUE-1’s towing service is designed to cater primarily to three types of micro-mobility vehicles:

• - Electric scooters (designated small motorcycles)
• - Electric assist bicycles
• - Senior mobility scooters (also known as electric carts)

The basic towing fee starts at ¥8,800 for up to 5 kilometers, with an additional charge of ¥660 per extra kilometer beyond that. The service is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ensuring that assistance is available whenever needed.

Background

The rise of micro-mobility solutions, including electric scooters and bicycles, marks a significant shift in urban transport phenomena. With their increased prevalence in city landscapes, the demand for specialized transport services that can handle these vehicles efficiently is growing. Leveraging RESCUE-1’s expertise in two-wheeled vehicle towing, combined with specially designed vehicles capable of navigating tight urban spaces, the organization aims to establish a new standard in urban mobility.

Expansion of Service Points

To enhance their existing bike towing services, RESCUE-1 has recently expanded its operational footprint by adding two key locations, which started serving customers on November 14:

• - Kanagawa Area (covering Yokohama, Kawasaki, and Shonan)
• - Akashi Area (serving Kobe, Akashi, and Himeji)

These new locations are equipped with winches and other necessary tools to tackle towing in narrow spaces and on steep slopes, continuing the organization's commitment to service flexibility.

Moreover, female personnel are also at the helm of operations, underscoring the inclusive workforce approach, ensuring that even special vehicle conditions like handle locks are managed with precision.

As a result of these enhancements, RESCUE-1 can now efficiently meet the towing needs of micro-mobility users across major cities in both the Kanto and Kansai regions.

1. Expert Towing: RESCUE-1 uses specialized skills for safe transport of two-wheeled vehicles, ensuring peace of mind for users.
2. 24/7 Availability: The service operates continuously throughout the year, providing help when it's most needed.
3. Wide Range of Coverage: With expanded operational areas in Kanto and Kansai, they can cater to a larger user base.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, RESCUE-1 is exploring various avenues for growth, including:

• - Partnerships with local businesses

• - Nationwide expansion to reach a broader audience across Japan.
