- Yadea is the world’s largest EV manufacturer by volume, selling over 6 million electric two-wheelers annually in 80+ countries.
- Yadea unveiled four electric models at Motorcycle Live: GFX (entry-level moped), Owin (commuter scooter), Velax (urban scooter), and Keeness (electric motorcycle).
- GFX offers 30 miles range and 28 mph top speed, targeting micromobility with 400 lb carrying capacity.
- Owin provides 50 miles range, classic scooter design, and features like cruise control (availability in Western markets uncertain).
- Velax has a 50-mile range, 68 mph top speed, and higher torque (130 lb.ft) with disc brakes on both wheels.
- Keeness is Yadea’s flagship motorcycle with 80 miles range, 68 mph top speed, and advanced features like GPS tracking and keyless unlocking.
- All models include a 2-year warranty, anti-theft tech, removable batteries, and GPS as standard.
- Pricing in the UK: GFX (£2,200), Owin (£2,700), Velax (£3,900), Keeness (£5,900).
- Yadea partners with True Enterprises for UK distribution, targeting private riders, fleets, and rentals, with expansion plans in Europe (Budapest, Milan, Munich, Zurich).
- Battery-swapping infrastructure remains a challenge due to cost and lack of standardization; True seeks collaborations for solutions.
