Good points of GOAT180

Insurance and taxes are the same as for motorcycles (250cc).

No need for vehicle inspections or garage certification, making maintenance costs more economical.

A standard driver's license is required to drive the vehicle (AT license is OK).

Up to 3 people can ride on it.

The gasoline engine offers peace of mind.

As long as you have fuel, you can continue driving anywhere without worrying about distance. In addition, the large-capacity tank of approximately 14 liters reduces the number of times you need to refuel, even on long tours, allowing for more freedom of movement.

The 180 cc engine with ample power allows smooth and stress-free driving even on hilly roads. The 180cc engine provides a nimble and powerful driving experience not only in the city, but also on winding roads.

CVT 180cc engine

The CVT transmission is the same as that used on scooters.

No clutch operation or shifting is required, and anyone can drive intuitively. Acceleration is always smooth, and the ride is comfortable with no shift shocks.

We have also pursued a particular focus on the drive system.

Instead of using a conventional propeller shaft, the engine directly transfers power to the driveshaft, significantly reducing mechanical noise. In addition, the engine is located under the rear seat to further enhance quietness.

Greatest Of All Time

Driving pleasure, ease of handling, and comfort.

The GOAT180 is a vehicle that combines all of these at a high dimension.

About Carter Co.

Carter Corporation is a Kanagawa Prefecture-based mobility company that imports, sells, and maintains trikes (three-wheeled vehicles). The company has been working to popularize trikes in the Japanese market by developing the APtrikes series, vehicles that can be driven with a regular driver's license and offer the convenience of both a motorcycle and a car.

We are not merely importing and selling trikes, but are also actively involved in after-sales service, customization, and product improvement based on user feedback to create vehicles that are suited to the Japanese road environment and usage needs.

Now, as a new addition to our lineup, we are planning to launch the "GOAT180," a trike equipped with a gasoline engine and CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). With the CVT's superior operability, the GOAT180 will offer a comfortable driving experience to a wider range of users, and will be developed as a new type of mobility that can be used for both daily use and leisure.

Carter Corporation will continue to contribute to the further development of the trike market, aiming to "provide a new means of transportation that anyone can easily enjoy".
