Europe praises China scooter design

Yadea Technology Group Co Ltd, the major producer of electric-bikes and electric-scooters in China, launched its Z3 e-scooter model in Beijing in late August, targeting high-end e-scooter consumers across the world.

The company said it would export the model to 66 countries, including the United States and Germany.

"Z3 will be warmly welcomed in the European market", said Marco Schuler, CEO of SXT Scooters, a German scooter importer and distributor.

According to Schuler, high-end scooters equipped with lithium battery and smart functions are popular in Europe, and Yadea's products have advantages in design, quality and after-sales services.

He said the number of e-scooters in the European market had increased significantly in the past couple of years. He predicted a bright market potential as the cost of gasoline continued to grow in Europe.

The Z3 is able to run 120 kilometers on a single charge. It also has some smart functions such as mobile phone application controlled start, lock, and energy consumption display.

Listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, Yadea's global expansion strategy is making and selling high-end products through its sales and distribution network across the world.

It entered the US market in 2011, and Germany in 2012, and built a factory in Vietnam in 2014.
