Urban e-BIKE 'GLISSE' Passes Official Type Certification in Japan

WO, a brand proposing to 'beautify movement,' has announced that its flagship urban e-BIKE, 'GLISSE,' has passed the type certification test.

This certification proves that GLISSE complies with the strict standards set by road traffic laws, including power-assist ratios, braking performance, and safety criteria. As e-BIKES are increasingly chosen for daily commuting, WO believes that safety and reliability are as crucial as design. GLISSE features a minimal design that blends naturally into the city while maintaining a strong presence, offering comfortable performance and functionality that fits modern lifestyles.

Responding to customer needs for test rides and maintenance near their homes, WO has entered a strategic partnership with Aventulife Co. This collaboration significantly strengthens user experience and after-sales support across seven major cities in Japan.

About GLISSE: Inspired by the smooth ride of a surfboard (French 'GLISSE' means 'glide'), this model fuses BMX culture with urban mobility functions. It offers smooth acceleration and a feeling of integration with the bike, handling everything from commutes to weekend trips.

Future Outlook: With the acquisition of type certification, WO aims to expand its dealership network, enhance test ride opportunities, and propose B2B solutions to grow the urban e-BIKE market.

Categorized as a 'Specified Small Motorized Bicycle,' it requires no license and can be operated via an accelerator lever. Features fat tires for stable riding.
