Luup's Commitment to Road Safety

In light of Japan's Spring Traffic Safety Campaign, Luup, renowned for its innovative micro-mobility solutions, is stepping up to foster a culture of safe riding through organized safety workshops and promotional events. With its headquarters located in Shinagawa, Tokyo and led by CEO Daiki Okai, Luup aims to enhance community awareness regarding traffic rules, especially for young riders and electric vehicle users.

Background on Luup

Luup has a visionary mission to transform urban mobility by creating an infrastructure that makes cities feel like they are in front of a station—thus promoting seamless transport for everyone. The company operates a micro-mobility share business across Japan, offering electric scooters and other small, one-person vehicles. In its quest to ensure freedom of movement for all people, Luup has already introduced over 16,000 stations nationwide, making it easy for users to access eco-friendly transportation options.

The current traffic safety campaign emphasizes the critical need for a comprehensive understanding and compliance with regulations for cyclists and specific small motor vehicles. As the statistics reveal, the number of cycling accidents is on the rise; around half of cyclist fatalities involve serious head injuries, particularly among those not wearing helmets. Notably, three-quarters of serious accidents involving cyclists are due to violations of existing laws. Starting April 1, 2026, a point system for traffic violations will also come into effect for cyclists aged 16 and older, further underscoring the urgency of adhering to road rules and wearing helmets.

Luup promotes an environment of safety and security for all users. Their safety measures include pass-fail testing for traffic rules prior to using small motor vehicles and mandatory age verification. Luup collaborates with police and local governments to not only provide workshops but also enhance community awareness about safe mobility practices.
