Overview
LUUP operates an app-based electric micro-mobility sharing service in Japan that provides dockless e-scooters and electric bicycles for short urban trips. It supplies vehicles and charging/fleet-management infrastructure together with a mobile app to locate, unlock and pay for rides, and partners with municipalities, property owners and transit operators to integrate last-mile solutions. LUUP targets commuters and urban residents in Japanese cities seeking safer, more efficient and sustainable short-distance transport and is recognized in national startup initiatives such as METI's J-Startup program.
