Electric car rental service MICHIMO - 高市郡明日香村 Takaichi District

Just as the rented electric car has one habit and two habits, the clerk also had one habit. Not a Michimo person, but an Ossan clerk on the side of the rental cycle. Don't talk to other guests.

Take an electric bicycle to visit Asuka's ancient tombs. When I go around Tanzan Shrine, I always use it for convenience. The electric bicycle has a lot of power, so it ’s easy.

I rented an EV for about 5 hours. To put it badly, it is a chaotic structure, so it took me a while to get used to the first driving, but I got used to it soon. After all, moving speed is attractive compared to bicycles. It is a two-seater, but the back seat has a pain in the hips. I was not worried about the front side except being particularly narrow. It was a nice season to spend, so it was nice, but since there is no air conditioning, it seems to be spicy in bad weather, midsummer and midwinter.

The way the MICHIMO station responds is more than normal. For a two-seater car, when driving on a road with a speed limit of 40 km or more, it feels intuitively that you can not speed up due to rattling of the car. The station will advise you to get used to the quirks peculiar to electric vehicles before rental. Perhaps the built-in iPad is in poor condition, the battery level has reached 48% after running for 1 hour. The idea is that you can easily rent an electric car and go sightseeing, but I think there is still a need for infrastructure development, such as local acceptance of electric cars and understanding of locals. If you are thinking of renting from now on, I think it is better to check the MICHIMO homepage carefully and check the Google map in advance for the driving area as well. Unexpectedly, it was a two-seater car, and even though it was observing the speed limit, it was frequently instigated by another car from behind. As an aside, when I returned it, the staff member at the Asukamura Bicycle Cycle Center next door added an extra cup of tea, which ruined my leisure time.

Asukamura Micro Mobility MICHIMO 2018/5/18 Asuka-mura sightseeing moves over a fairly wide range, so this kind of electric mobility is very convenient. Well, since many people will write good points, I will write about the problems. 1) Instead of navigating, I will also lend you an iPad with a tourist guide map of the Asuka region, but this iPad is not useful at all. There are sample routes for 3 hour course, 5 hour course, 1 day course and sightseeing course, but since it is completely useless, I tried and errored for the first 10 minutes and went into the bag.　Since the budget is used for such places as well, you should try whether you can actually use it not only on the desk but in the actual site. 2) Two-seater. Certainly, this type of ultra-compact mobility was premised on being able to ride with a moped license, so while most of them are one-seater, MICHIMO is a yellow number light car standard or two-seater OK. However, most of the rear seats are in the luggage compartment (laughs) It's nice because I'm one person + a day bag, but if you ride with two people, the people in the back seats will be pretty tough. ‥ 3) There is no luggage space in the car. I don't have a luggage space because I want to have a space to load luggage because it's good outside the car.　For example, a security box may be used, so I would like a box that is sturdy and locks. I will lend you the iPad for free, but you must compensate for theft or damage at your own risk. I want to keep an unusable iPad in the car rather than carrying it as a luggage www Where do you put your luggage if you have two more passengers? ? ♪ People behind you can also carry luggage while riding~ 4) The door is a type that can be pulled up. It's also cheap to pull up (laugh) 　Unlock, pull a piece of cloth from the door frame to release the catch and lift up. There is no hydraulic pressure, and the door is light because it is pulled up and down by hand. ‥ 5) Speed ​​up to 50km (or more). Since the brakes are weak, I don't feel like speeding except for straight lines. If there is a passenger car behind you, it is not safe to adjust to the speed of the passenger car. It should be equipped with power steering and strengthen the brakes, but it's really cheap. 6) Getting on and off is a bit not smooth (like the usual low car). 7) There is no air conditioner, but there is wind from the window, but due to the position of the window, the wind does not come into the driver's seat, so I sweat every time I get in the parking lot (laugh) I installed an intake port around my feet, If you don't put wind in the triangular window that looks like a car, it's hot in summer and you die.　Although it seems that the wind is coming in from the windows on both sides, it seems to be cool, but the driver's seat is actually almost windless. ‥ Although it has many improvements as a car, it may be appreciated that it is easier to move than a bicycle. The manufacturer (Nissan) should not make it at the laboratory level, but rather make it by deciding on how to use it at the actual site. .. .. .. ..

I just went to Asuka to get on the free NISSAN New Mobility Concept. The suspension is bad. The handle is heavy. There is no air conditioner. It's narrow and the running noise is noisy. but I had a good time. It becomes a story of Hanashi. If you're looking for comfort on the move for sightseeing, you can choose the i-MiEV or the power-assisted bicycle.

It was fresh and fun. The explanation in advance was also polite, and it started comfortably. It's small, so when I started 40km, I felt a lot of speed. It worked in a small turn and was rolled around.

The price was the same for both 4-seater and 2-seater, so it was comfortable to have 4-seater. The shop staff kindly tells me about the road, tells me where and where I plan to go, and even tells me which parking lot to park in, so if you are not a local, you have to park on the road. The car was safely parked on the ground. In some places, the parking fee was free with this rental car. If I went without a reservation, the two-seater was full of reservations, but on the contrary I was lucky. The place corresponding to starting the engine with the key was a little different, but the rest was the same as the engine car.
