- This video goes over the most prominent E-Scooter and E-Bike Share company in Japan. In some cases, E-Scooters are faster than the train and you can avoid the crowds too!

So I can rent a scooter in my 14 days vacation for 980?
I don't need to bring my scooter on flight to japan? Am I allow to?
Are the scooters available everywhere when needed?
Great advice on traffic rules when you’re on an electric scooter in Japan. Thanks for making this video!
5:10 Actually, if the speed limit of the road is up to 40km/h, you can ride on the road up to 20km/h. But if the speed limit is higher than 40km/h, you cannot ride on the road. In this case, you should ride on the sidewalk, at the speed limit of 6km/h.
That is good to know! Thank you.
Perfect! Just registered from The UK. I'll be in Japan next month!!
Glad I could help!
Hi Michael
I'm flying next week. Let me know if we can plan it together.
I try to rent luup but I think is not for foreign cellphone number when to sign up cause always shown error
Great informative video! Do you see a lot of people use luup?
Yes! Everyday.
Very much informative!..How to buy these kind of vehicle in japan ?
I can’t speak too much on purchasing one but if you look up 電動キックボード購入 (Dendou Kikkubo-do Kounyuu) or electric scooter purchase in English on google, a couple stores immediately popped up.
One thing to note is that if the scooter’s max speed is 15 km/h, you do not need any certification. If it’s over 15 km/h, you need a license plate and other certifications, but the store should help you out. Good luck!
Just follow the road rules? Which one? You will find out when you get a problem))
Exactly! The test has the road rules you need to follow within it.
Can you ride tandem with a kid
Unfortunately not. It is one person per scooter.
@@JapanReality tha ks for the information
Can they be used 24 hours a day?
Yes!
How can I use it if I am already in Japan and do not have a phone number? 😢
I'm not too sure to be honest. It's kind of expected to have some kind of phone number somewhere :(
Do you know if we can bring the scooter on the trains?
Hello! Unfortunately, no.
Scooters and bikes cannot be taken on the train unless they are in a carry case.
last time i was in town i wasn't allowed to ride one without a japanese driver's license, looks like they changed the rules. so i can bring it anywhere a bike can go as long as i go slow?
Yes! Up until recently you did need a Japanese driver’s license but this time, as long as you have a valid passport or residence card, you can ride!
However, scooter rules are separate from a bicycle such as not being allowed to ride on the sidewalk.
Great video! My friend is a complete beginner at riding these and does not have a license in their country of residence either. Do you need a license/international permit to ride these around ? We are visiting Tokyo for a trip and want to explore Shinjuku area for a day, is there no one day pass ?
You just need some valid ID, most likely your passport!
The rate is based on how long you use it. The rate is changing based on my pinned comment, so no day passes unfortunately.
Hey nice video!
Just wondering, can foreigners sign up for the monthly subscription? Or do we need to be local and stuff to do it? Thanks a lot!
Howdy! I just tried applying and it only confirmed that I had a valid credit card but it didn’t ask me for an address so I believe it’s possible!
👍👍👍 🇹🇭❤🇯🇵
Do you need an international licence if you're not from Japan ?
Nope!
