What is a "specified small motorized bicycle (TKG)"?

A TKG is a vehicle powered by an electric motor that can travel on public roads at speeds of 20 km/h or less and can travel on sidewalks by switching to a maximum speed of 6 km/h. It can be driven without a driver's license if the rider is 16 years of age or older.

This next-generation vehicle is very convenient for short-distance transportation for those who have returned their driver's license or for vulnerable shoppers.

■Developed as a means of transportation for those who have returned their driver's license

Recently, there have been many traffic accidents involving the elderly, and there are calls for the return of driver's licenses, but the inconvenience of losing one's car is preventing many from returning their licenses. According to a survey by the National Police Agency, about 70% of "continuing drivers who have thought about returning their license voluntarily" answered that the reason for their hesitation was "the inconvenience of living without a car"(*1).

(*1) Therefore, we developed "TK3A" and started its sales in September 2024 in order to promote the return of driver's license by eliminating concerns about the means of transportation after the return of driver's license. Customers who have actually purchased the product have expressed their delight, saying, "With the TK3A, I can return my driver's license with peace of mind.
