“LUUP” App Now Available in English
Road Traffic Law revision anticipates increase of use by foreign residents and visitors
Luup, Inc. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Daiki Okai; hereinafter “Luup”) is pleased to announce that the LUUP app, an electric micromobility sharing service, is now available in English.
Background
LUUP is a sharing service that allows users to rent e-bikes or e-scooters through a smartphone app and move from station to station throughout the city. Currently, the service also offers e-scooters and is available at more than 3,245 stations in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Yokohama, Utsunomiya, Kobe, and Nagoya.
With the enforcement of the revised Road Traffic Law scheduled for Saturday, July 1st, 2023, foreign residents and tourists who don’t own a Japanese driver’s license will be allowed to ride e-scooters, and service use is expected to increase. With the start of LUUP’s English support, we aim to break the language barriers and ensure that a diverse range of users are able to access the service.
Luup will continue to reflect user feedback for service improvement and develop its service for safer and more convenient usage in the future.
How to Change Language Settings
The language will automatically change to English when the language setting of the app or browser is set to English on your mobile settings.
*Station names and addresses will remain in Japanese, and English support is on its way.
