Honolulu! Honolulu’s program actually included a tour to Kuilei Cliffs Beach Park to participate in the restoration of the natural environment. At the time of our visit, even though it was a Saturday morning, a group of over 40 people, mostly Japanese university students studying abroad at the University of Hawaii for the spring semester, were participating in the cleanup activities. It remains to be seen how many students will continue with the project in the future, but the fact that the park they helped maintain will remain as a new landmark in Waikiki is an experience that is hard to beat. Mr. Nishimura of the Hawaii branch said, “This place is close to Waikiki and can be reached by a short walk from the center of the city, so it is a place that can be enjoyed as an extension of sightseeing in Honolulu. The circle of participation is growing because of the down-to-earth and casual nature of the program, without the need for people to have a particularly high level of awareness of ‘Let’s revitalize the community. I live in Hawaii now, so I see it as a local issue, but I am sure that people who come here as tourists can also feel close to it,” he says.
Apart from the limited-time program of the electric wheelchair ‘olu’olu as an entertaining mobility, Jalpak Hawaii has prepared a rental service of the electric wheelchair “WHILL” as an initiative that can be used anytime. The WHILL, which does not require a license and can travel on sidewalks, is an electric mobility system that supports not only people with disabilities or injuries, but also those who have concerns about walking. JAL is also offering the Sheraton Waikiki Wai’i. JAL rents out five F-models and two C2-models for a fee at the JALPAK Aloha Station at the Sheraton Waikiki and Moana Surfrider. The newer model F in particular is lightweight at about 27 kg (C2 weighs about 52 kg) and foldable, making it easy to store in a trunk when traveling by car or compactly in a corner of a room at a hotel. The new F-type is characterized by its power to overcome slight bumps (35 mm) and its small turning radius of 78 cm.
*The Aloha Station of the Moana Surfrider will cease operations on May 9, 2025. When actually riding, the 360-degree stick in the right wrist area allows intuitive forward/backward and left/right steering, and most users, regardless of age, are able to quickly learn to use it. 4-step speed change function is provided, with the highest at 4 It is a little too fast. When renting out the bicycles, he tells his customers to operate them in one or two gears in the city. As Mr. Shigeki Fujimoto of Jalpak says, “We want to promote the use of these vehicles not only for people with walking difficulties, but also as a means of transportation.” The high tracking performance of the vehicles, which move in the desired direction, makes them an entertaining vehicle. Although the current use of WHILL is mainly for people who have difficulty walking, it has the potential to become popular as a new type of mobility, even if not as popular as the Segway tours. The WHILL is said to be in great demand from repeat customers, and reservations for the busy season during the year, such as Golden Week and summer vacation, have already been filled.
