Founded in 2017, glafit inc. is headquartered in Wakayama-shi, Japan, and develops electric mobility products.


glafit specializes in the manufacture of electric mobility solutions, primarily focusing on electric bikes and kickboards that are compliant with public road use regulations. The company’s notable product lines include the NFR-01 Pro and NFR-01 Lite, both of which fall under the category of specific small motorized bicycles, along with the GFR-02 and LOM models, classified as first-category motorized bicycles. These products are designed to address various consumer concerns, such as battery depletion anxiety and the convenience of mobility while traveling. By providing electric cycles that eliminate the need for pedaling, glafit aims to enhance user comfort and accessibility, catering to a broad customer base that includes commuting urban dwellers, recreational users, and tourists seeking convenient transportation options.


The company’s products are marketed and sold across Japan, including major urban centers and regions where innovative mobility solutions are in demand. glafit generates revenue through direct sales of its electric mobility products, available through a network of over 500 retail locations nationwide. The business model encompasses both B2C transactions, where consumers purchase products directly from retailers, and potential partnerships with businesses that may offer rental services or maintenance. Customers typically engage with glafit’s offerings through promotional campaigns, such as cashback initiatives associated with flagship products like the NFR-01 Lite.


While specific pricing plans have not been disclosed, the company’s commitment to enhancing user experience through its innovative designs suggests a strategic focus on competitive pricing within the electric mobility market. The continuous evolution of their product line reflects glafit's dedication to meeting customer needs while driving sales growth in the rapidly expanding sector of electric personal mobility. In September 2025, glafit inc. raised an undisclosed amount in  venture funding  from new investor Pegasus Tech Ventures.
