JOYCart LUCE is a sales package built by NOAA on top of MITSUI Co., Ltd.'s "Lieto Luce," combining it with NOAA's own accessories and insurance. To the city, to the park, to time with family — make your everyday outings lighter.
National Public Safety Commission type certification "Kou K26-3" / TAIS code obtained / Eligible for long-term care insurance rental
Walks with family, the usual shopping trip. JOYCart LUCE isn't for special occasions — it fits into your ordinary, everyday life.
To the city, to the park. Make your everyday outings more free.
To the places you wanted to go, together with everyone.
Getting around indoors feels natural alongside someone walking next to you.
Combine it with public transport to go even further.
A wide seat, raised armrests, and a firm backrest. A generous design you can lean into, even on longer outings.
A simple folding structure that doesn't require complicated steps. Once folded it becomes 715 × 510 × 300mm — please load and unload it from your car within a comfortable, unstrained range of motion.
Its deep black form gives a calm, understated impression rather than looking like typical welfare equipment — a cart people choose to be seen using around town.
Light and compact. Make your everyday outings more free.
"JOYCart LUCE" is built on the Lieto Luce, with NOAA thinking through real-world usage scenarios and combining its own accessories and insurance around it.
