TAICHUNG CITY, Taiwan, Dec. 23, 2025 — J-Star Holding Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: YMAT) (“J-Star” or the “Company”), a top provider of cutting-edge carbon fiber and composite solutions for a range of uses such as personal sports equipment, healthcare products, automobile parts, resin systems, and R&D services, today announced that its premium urban mobility brand, LITZMO, has launched what’s thought to be among the world’s first carbon fiber fat-tire electric assist bicycles, the ER‑01. The ER-01 joins LITZMO’s expanding lineup of e-bikes, which includes the EM-05, EM-05 Pro, EM-05 EVO, and EV-01.
Built to redefine urban mobility, the ER‑01 merges lightweight carbon fiber construction with user-friendly electric support, delivering a polished riding experience tailored to modern city living. Weighing just 27 kg total, it’s one of the lightest full e-bikes in its category. It also stands as the only model in the industry with a full carbon-fiber build for the frame, fork, and handlebar—greatly boosting agility and overall ride comfort.
Sam Van, J-Star’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “J-Star keeps using our advanced carbon fiber tech to develop innovative solutions, and LITZMO’s exciting ER-01 smart e-bike is the newest example. Thanks to full lightweight carbon fiber use, the ER-01 is exceptionally light—so riders can easily get around city streets while enjoying the comfort of fat tires, the flexibility of an e-bike, and smart features that boost convenience and safety.”
Key features of the ER-01 include:
- Redefining Fat‑Tire Urban Mobility: Fat tires offer unrivaled stability but usually add a lot of weight. The ER‑01 tackles this issue by using carbon fiber for the frame, fork, and handlebar—cutting weight drastically while keeping riders confident. This lets users lift, push, and park the bike with ease—a must for city living.
- Design & Color Expression: The ER‑01 boasts a smooth one-piece carbon fiber design, highlighting sleek lines and structural integrity. It comes in three signature colors: Ink Green (evoking exploration and street culture), Pure Black (offering minimalist strength via a matte finish), and Drift Blue (balancing calm and movement).
- Smart Features for Everyday Life: The ER‑01 includes the SMART Z App, letting riders find their bike anytime, check battery level, look at ride history, turn on anti-theft tracking, and get motion alerts. It also has a signature welcome light, a lower storage basket, and a rear seat storage bag.
- Performance Highlights: Run by a dedicated hub motor and a detachable battery, the ER‑01 provides a range of up to 100 km, a max assisted speed of 25 km/h, and a responsive ride perfect for city trips. Its lightweight carbon structure ensures natural handling and comfort on city roads.
