Adding electric scooters to your range
You already know importing. What is new is the product: which line to start with, how batteries and motors change the machine and the price, how lithium ships, and what to check before the first order.
Scooters crated for shipping
Choose the line before the model
Five product lines, side by side, with figures from the spec sheets in our files. If you have no model in mind, we can suggest which models are being made and sold most right now. That is supply-side experience, not a forecast for your market.

Speed and power decide the scooter's class
In many markets the rules for an electric scooter, a moped and a motorcycle differ by speed and power, and they decide registration, licence and where it can be ridden. That is why the first question about a model is your market, not the price.
There is no model that fits every country. A scooter being available does not mean it can be imported, sold or registered where you are. Some models already come in slower versions for this reason: the CP9 is listed in 45 km/h and 25 km/h versions, and the Q5 switches between 25 and 45 km/h on the same scooter.
You confirm your local requirements; we check whether the product can meet them. Choosing a model

Battery and motor: reading a configuration
When the configuration is still open, we first quote on a base version so you have a number to work with. It is a starting point, not the final order.
Two scooters can look alike and still be different machines. The X20 alone is listed with a 1000W, 1500W or 2000W motor. Each quote states the battery, throttle and other parts it covers, so you know exactly which machine the price is for.
- Sample or reference: usually an EXW price for the sample.
- A stated quantity: priced at that quantity, not at the sample price.
- Full container, e.g. 40HQ: usually FOB Ningbo.
Price, MOQ, container quantity and lead time depend on the model. Configurations and spec sheets
Lithium batteries change the shipping
Most of these scooters carry lithium batteries, and lithium ships as dangerous goods. That is often the biggest difference from what you import today.
Before anything ships
- We confirm your forwarder can carry a lithium-battery scooter, before the sample ships
- We provide the lithium battery transport documents available for the product
- We provide the product information your forwarder asks for
- For FOB orders your forwarder books; we handle loading and the hand-over
Which documents exist depends on the product and its battery; there is no single list for the whole range. Lithium export support
Your first sample
A paid sample is the usual way to learn a new product before you put it in front of your customers. Taking one asks for no promise of future orders.
- We confirm the model and the sample configuration with you.
- We check that your forwarder can carry a lithium-battery scooter.
- We confirm the sample price and payment.
- Once the agreed payment arrives, we arrange the sample.
- It is built and checked; we confirm it with you on photos and video.
- It ships as agreed.
- You test it and give feedback. Whether to order more is your decision.
A commercial buyer can start from one paid sample; arrangements are confirmed per model. For other models, ask: sample arrangements depend on the product.
A first order that mixes lines
A first order does not have to be one model. It can combine models, batteries and parts in one container, so you can test more than one line at once. Each square is one scooter, from the figure on that model's spec sheet.

Certificates
Certificates we can provide include CE, EEC, LVD and RoHS. Copies are sent on request. A certificate is not, by itself, a statement that a scooter meets your market's rules.
Parts and after-sales, planned before the first order
A new category needs a way to keep scooters running once they are sold. Settle who repairs locally before you order, and add parts to the first order alongside the scooters and batteries.
When a fault comes in
- 1You send the fault details, with photos or video.
- 2We work out what is causing it.
- 3We suggest a fix and agree how to handle it.
- 4We arrange the parts; costs are agreed case by case.
Repairs are done in your market, by you or your workshop. We do not offer an overseas service network, a fixed response time or unlimited free parts. Spare parts and after-sales
Models to start with
A Citycoco, a 4WD off-road and a delivery model. The X20 sheet lists paid samples; for the others, ask about sample arrangements.
Questions from importers new to electric scooters
Which model sells best?
We can tell you which models are being made and sold most right now. That is supply-side experience; we do not forecast or guarantee sales in your market.
Are your scooters certified for my country?
Certificates we can provide include CE, EEC, LVD and RoHS. Copies are sent on request. You confirm your local requirements, and we check whether the product can meet them.
Can the sample go by my usual forwarder?
Only if it can carry a lithium-battery scooter. We check that with you before the sample ships.
Do I need to order a full container?
No. You can start with a paid sample. MOQ depends on the product; one sheet gives a reference MOQ of 10 units for the 4WD 4×1500W.
