After the launch of the first and second batches, the Company now has in total eleven models of electric two wheel vehicles being sold into the Chinese market.

A wider range of products mean more sales avenues across the country and I wish to thank again the R&D department who have contributed in developing the new models of electric scooter in the past few months. The Company is looking forward to seeing these models on the road and continuing to expand its product range to meet Chinese demand."
