Car in your bag.
"If you can carry a car"
The world's smallest Portable Mobility born from such an idea.
Commuter by train, from the station to your house, to your destination a few kilometers away.
The wider the area of movement, the more vibrant and prosperous people's lives will be.
We will also change lifestyles and the way cities should be.
WALKCAR changes the concept of movement
Innovative mobility.
Walking or WALKCAR?
Life on foot, bicycle, train movement

"Strong and compact body"
This car, which you can carry around like a laptop,
Support your movement at any time.
Take it anywhere you like and from your bag
You can take it out quickly and get on immediately.
Also, because it can be placed upright, it can be charged or
You don't have to worry about the storage space.
13inch laptop size
Polycarbonate material with excellent impact resistance is used for the boarding surface. Furthermore, the surface is coated with a self-healing paint to prevent scratches and improve grip.
Carbon (CFRTP)
Carbon material is used for the main frame of the main body to realize an "ultra-lightweight" and "tough" body. It is 10 times stronger and 1/4 lighter than iron, and is supported by a carbon frame with a thickness of only 3.3 mm.
In addition, the highly elastic body itself makes it possible for the tires to firmly capture the road surface and enable "flexible driving."
Extra super duralumin (A7075)
The frame that supports the front and rear wheels uses ultra-super duralumin cut products that are also used for aircraft wings in order to achieve "lightness and strength."
"I want to go somewhere"
design
Minimal design concept
While having the function of achieving high running performance even outdoors, we have eliminated waste and pushed the lightness and storability to the utmost limit.
In addition, it is designed so that screws that impair the design are not visible at all, and the simple look enhances the fashionability as something to wear and carry around.
Coloring that blends into the blue sky and the city
Blue with the image of running under the blue sky with an active feeling.
A chic blue that blends into your cityscape and asphalt.
Finished in a color that shows both expressions.
A new color "Ipsum Silver" has been added to the lineup.
Formal colors make it easy to match with any occasion, and a minimal and cool WALKCAR design
Bring out.
"Running performance beyond imagination"
High performance
World's smallest * 1 in-wheel motor
Newly developed motor for WALKCAR.
Welded joints have reduced wasted screw space and maximized coil space.
The ultra-compact size has achieved torque performance of 16km / h, which is comparable to that of a bicycle, and powerful climbing uphill * 2 at 10 degrees .

Suspension mechanism
4-wheel independent suspension.
In addition to the vertical suspension, the front wheels are equipped with a front-rear suspension.
It softens the impact of uneven roads and steps, and achieves high running performance even with a small tire diameter.

Functions that enhance safety
Vehicle height of only 74 mm
In addition to the stability of the four wheels, the vehicle height is only 74 mm from the ground (about the width of the smartphone), and the flat boarding surface makes it easy to get on and off, and you can get off in front, back, left and right even in a moment.
Equipped with automatic braking system
The autobrake system operates slowly so that the speed does not increase too much on the downhill.
Furthermore, the regenerative energy charges the battery and extends the cruising range.
