Showacho is a neighborhood with many great shops scattered throughout, so it's convenient to have a bicycle.
It seems that there isn't much of an image of the UsaBoku couple riding bicycles.
A customer gave me a pair of rabbit masks to help me escape from Sentence Spring. Thank you. Let's stay positive.
Now then…
It's a very personal story about the shop owner buying a bicycle.
It's been about three years since my bicycle was stolen on Showa-cho Day.
I basically lived my life by walking, but the Abeno Showacho area is widely scattered with shops, so it's quite difficult to get around on foot alone.
If you want to go to Minamitanabe or Tezukayama, it takes 20 minutes to walk...
(I wonder if someone will start a bicycle rental service...)
I knew I needed a bicycle, so I patiently searched for a transport bicycle with a rabbit emblem that I had seen online, but it was no longer in production so I couldn't find one.
The new year has begun and there are more stores I want to go to, so I decided to make a fresh start and just buy things online.
The bike I bought was a Rickshaw Tank.
Apparently this product was created in response to the Tohoku earthquake.
Just a bike to brag about, Rickshaw Tank has three major features
There are three major features.
Personally, I was impressed by the functionality of this bike, but the reaction of the people around me was surprisingly cold...
1. The bicycle stands upright

It's kind of amazing.
2. Can carry plastic containers
Can carry a 20 liter plastic container
Apparently you can store plastic containers between your legs.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a plastic container to use as a model, so I tried loading it with 10kg of green beans.
If you add cargo beds to the front and back, you'll be able to carry even more.
Dynamo powered USB charging

Apparently, you can generate electricity by riding the bike or by pedaling the bike in place with the stand up. After about an hour of pedaling, you can charge your smartphone.
I gave it a try, but quickly gave up.
If you ask me whether I would use this feature in my daily life, I don't think I'll be using it anytime soon, but it's a bike that really appeals to me.
To enable it to run on rough roads, it has a low center of gravity and thick tires.
After it arrived by courier, I managed to install the front wheel and adjust the brakes.
I'd like to drive around the streets of Abeno, adding a few customizations here and there.
Wearing a rabbit mask, of course.
See you soon.
