Reply To: Does anyone going to Japan have an Atto mobility scooter?
One of our clients had an experience in japan with Atto Scooter:

They had to fold it and walk at one JR station, had a bit of a discussion with station staff to go inside the station in another JR station. But other than that, they have no issues. The maximum length allowed inside the station is 120cm which is just the size of Atto scooter. So you can use it in Japan, but sometimes may not be easy. It is important to let people understand that it is for accessibility issue. If you say “scooter”, they normally imagine motor bike that one cannot ride inside the premise or a pedestrian space. So I recommend you should describe it as an “electric wheelchair”.
