The sustainable choice of used electric bicycles. E-Charity Naha branch presents a new habit that is "kind to the earth and the household budget"
Okinawa's blue skies and oceans are a natural environment that we want to protect. On the other hand, we are troubled by the intense traffic jams in Naha and the steep slopes leading to Shuri.
Up until now, cars have been the norm for transportation in Okinawa, but now more and more people are choosing used electric bicycles as a smart choice.
The desire to "get it at a bargain price" and "live an environmentally conscious life" are two desires that can be fulfilled at the E-Charity Naha store . We will unravel the reasons why choosing a used electric bicycle now will lead to the future of Okinawa.
1. The power of "reuse" breathes new life into electric bicycles that would otherwise be thrown away
In Japan, many bicycles are discarded every year, but among them, there are many electric bicycles that can still be used in active duty if the battery is replaced and they are properly maintained.
For 18 years, eCharity has been recycling these "used electric bicycles that would otherwise be thrown away" in Kobe and Yokohama, and returning them to the streets. As the industry's longest-standing professionals, what we are doing at our Naha store is not just selling second-hand bicycles, but "resource circulation."
Manufacturing a new electric bicycle requires a lot of energy and resources. However, "reusing" an existing bicycle by refurbishing it and using it for a long time can be said to be the ultimate eco-friendly activity. By choosing a used electric bicycle, you are directly participating in a sustainable initiative.
2. About half the price of a new car! The peace of mind behind "cheap electric bicycles"
When you hear "second-hand items at a bargain price," you might be worried about the quality. However, at eCharity Naha , our motto is to never let our customers just accept the price just because it's second-hand.
"Integrity" by only dealing with the top three domestic manufacturers
Our shop only carries electric bicycles from the major Japanese manufacturers Panasonic, Bridgestone, and Yamaha . There's a clear reason for this. When electric bicycles from overseas manufacturers break down, local bicycle shops often refuse to repair them, and there's a high risk that they end up as trash. However, electric bicycles from domestic manufacturers, which can be repaired anywhere in Japan, are the ones that can be used for a long time, making them sustainable.
Reuse with peace of mind! A comprehensive warranty system
To ensure you can use your reused electric bicycle with peace of mind, we provide the following guarantees.
・Vehicle switch/motor (electric part): 1 month warranty
・Battery and charger: 3-month warranty
If there is a problem after purchase, we will replace or handle it free of charge as a manufacturing defect.
3. A smart means of transportation that solves Okinawa's problems
Okinawa's unique transportation conditions are the stage where electric bicycles shine the brightest.
① Easily pass through heavy traffic jams
Traffic congestion in Naha City is not only an economic loss, but also a major problem due to the environmental impact caused by idling. With a used electric bicycle, you can head to your destination on the shortest route without being affected by traffic jams or hills. Stress-free travel will give you more time.
② Easily navigate the slopes of Shuri while sitting
The areas around Naha and Shuri are full of hills. Electric bicycles overturn the common belief that cycling is tough. You can climb hills comfortably without having to stand up and pedal, and enjoy the exhilaration of doing so. Instead of consuming gasoline like in a car or motorcycle, you can pedal with a little assistance from your own pedaling power. There's no smarter way to get around than this.
3. The shock of parking fees of "0 yen"
Naha city has a shortage of parking spaces and expensive fees. With a used electric bicycle, you don't have to pay parking fees. This saves you money on maintenance costs that have been straining your household budget, allowing you to spend that money on a delicious Okinawan lunch or spending time with your family.
4. Wide variety! Okinawa's largest selection of used electric bicycles
At E-Charity Naha store , we will recommend the perfect car for your lifestyle.
- Mamachari type: Make shopping even easier.
-Child seating model: Turn your pick-up and drop-off time into a fun time for parents and children to feel the breeze together.
- Small-wheeled bicycle (minivelo): Easy to handle and can be brought into the home.
-Sports type: Commute in style without breaking a sweat.
All of the electric bicycles are sourced from eCharity Yokohama and Kobe, so they are not exposed to the sea breeze that is unique to Okinawa.
5. Creating a safe cycling society through proper rules
In response to the voices of those who say, "I don't really understand the rules of cycling," eCharity uploads videos on cycling rules every day on its social media. Protect yourself and protect pedestrians. Knowing the correct rules is also an important step in building a sustainable cycling society. Follow us and aim to become a "competent cyclist" starting today.
