He accidentally encountered with Electric Scooter in Hawaii and started to use one (made in Taiwan) in Japan. In 2015, he started to try to design and make his own Electric Scooter, almost all by himself, using Fablab network both in Japan and global). By achieving the “freedom of movement” himself, it changed his life.
