Lock levers
Raise the two levers and the module is released. Clamping force comes from a cam mechanism, not from a torque wrench.
Electric assist cargo trike
A cargo box, a child seat, a market basket. Three beds for one frame, each locking on in 90 seconds — no tools.
¥398,000 or ¥19,800/mo Frame price, tax included. Modules sold separately.
The three chapters below show the same frame refitted for delivery, the school run and groceries.
6 a.m.
M-01 CARGO BOX 60
A 60-liter cargo box locks onto the rear deck. Two levers clamp it to the frame and the power coupler feeds the interior light. For independent couriers, this is the weekday earner.
5 p.m.
M-02 CHILD SEAT
Drop the cargo box, mount the child seat. The swap takes 90 seconds, no tools. A five-point harness and headrest carry one child — certified to Japan's child-passenger standard — for the eight-minute ride to daycare.
Weekend
M-03 BASKET + COOLER
The open basket stacks a powered cooler box and carries 40 kg — rice, drinks, a week of groceries in a single run. The cooler holds for eight hours. For households without a car, this is the errand machine.
Mechanism
Lift the levers. Lift the module. Set the next one down. The tool-free swap is not magic — it is three parts doing their job.
Raise the two levers and the module is released. Clamping force comes from a cam mechanism, not from a torque wrench.
Feet on the module base drop into rail grooves, so the position sets itself. No aiming required.
Contacts engage the moment the module seats, powering the interior light and the cooler. Splash-proof.

Owners
How three owners actually use it.
Courier
Weekdays 5:30–14:00 / Cargo box
I gave up the kei van and stopped worrying about parking tickets. Sixty drops a day, and I'm faster in the narrow streets.
Sumida — independent courier
Daycare family
Weekdays 8:10 & 17:40 / Child seat
My husband does the morning run, I do the pickup. The swap really is 90 seconds, so nobody fights over the trike.
Koto — dual-income household
Car-free household
Weekend mornings / Basket
Two years without a car. Ten kilos of rice and a week of groceries in one trip — the reasons to own a car keep shrinking.
Taito — household of two
