Electric Mobility Poimo Jointly Developed by Mercari and the University of Tokyo

Electric Mobility Poimo Jointly Developed by Mercari and the University of Tokyo

Mercalli, Professor Yoshihiro Kawahara of the University of Tokyo and others have jointly developed "poimo," a personal mobility device for short-distance use. It can be inflated with a commercially available air container and used in the shape of a wooden horse. It can be folded and carried around like a beach ball. With its compactness, softness and safety due to the fact that it is inflated by gas pressure, the company expects the elderly and women with children to use it, and also sees potential for outdoor and leisure use. The final sales price is targeted at several tens of thousands of yen, and they plan to continue running experiments in special economic zones to find a balance between cost, performance, and usability.
