A lithium battery changes how a scooter ships
Lithium electric scooters travel as dangerous goods. We prepare the export with your forwarder and provide the documents that exist for the product. What your country requires is yours to confirm.
4WD 4×2000W
Start with the battery on each sheet
Shipping and documents depend on the exact battery, so the first question is what the model's spec sheet actually says. Here is every battery line in our model files, as printed.
| Model | Battery on the sheet | Chemistry | Packs or bays |
|---|---|---|---|
 CP9Citycoco | 60V 20Ah | Lithium | Dual battery bays |
 X20Citycoco | Chosen per order | Not on the sheet | Dual bays, takes two batteries |
 2000WDelivery | 72V 30Ah | Lithium | Takes two packs |
 Q5Delivery | 60V 28Ah or 56Ah | Not on the sheet | Not on the sheet |
 4×1500W4WD off-road | 60V 50Ah | Li-ion | Not on the sheet |
 4×2000W4WD off-road | Not on the sheet | Not on the sheet | Not on the sheet |
 VISTAMobility | 60V 20Ah | Lead-acid as standard; lithium as an option | One or two sets of 60V 20Ah lithium |
 S5-3BFoldable | 36V, in five capacities from 4Ah to 12.5Ah | Lithium | Not on the sheet |
Read across: two of these sheets do not name the chemistry, and one model can carry several capacities. A document or a transport answer for one battery is not an answer for another, so both are confirmed for the battery actually in your order.
Before a sample ships: can your forwarder carry it?
For a sample, transport is checked early: it is the second step, before price and payment, not after the sample is built.
Model and sample configuration
Agreed with you, including the battery.
Can the transport be done?
We check that the lithium-battery scooter can actually be carried, above all whether your forwarder can take it.
Sample price and payment
Confirmed with you; the sample is built once the agreed payment arrives.
Built, checked, confirmed
The sample is built and checked; we confirm it with you on photos and video.
Ships as agreed
By the transport arrangement confirmed with you. You test it and decide whether to continue.
The documents available for a model
We provide the lithium battery transport and product documents that exist for the specific product. We do not claim one set of documents for every model.
- Battery transport documents
Such as UN38.3 and an MSDS, where they exist for that battery. None is printed on the sheets in our files, so availability is confirmed per product before you rely on it.
- Product certificates
Certificates we can provide include CE, EEC, LVD and RoHS. Copies are sent on request.
- What a certificate does not do
It is not an approval for your country, and it does not make a scooter legal to sell or register there.
If your forwarder or import agent asks for a specific document, send us the request. We check what exists for that model and battery, and tell you plainly what does not.
One sample, or a full container
The same scooter ships under different arrangements. What we check first, and who books, differ between the two.
 |
 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Checked first | That the lithium-battery scooter can be carried, and above all that your forwarder can take it | The load and the mix of models, batteries and parts, with the documents for each product |
| Usual quote | EXW price for the sample | Usually FOB Ningbo, for example a 40HQ |
| Who books | As confirmed with you for the sample | Your forwarder, for FOB orders |
| Our part | Prepare the sample; confirm it on photos and video; ship as agreed | Plan the load, including any spare batteries; plan production timing; provide documents, including the lithium battery transport documents available |
| Payment | Sample price and payment confirmed before the sample is made | Set in the PI; commonly a deposit, with the balance before shipping |
Sample terms do not carry over to a bulk order automatically, and we do not arrange door-to-door transport worldwide. How a mixed container is planned
The destination is yours to confirm
We supply the product and handle the export documents and shipping up to handover. Whether the scooter can be imported, cleared, registered and sold in your country depends on your local qualifications and your reading of the rules.
You confirm, for your country
- The vehicle category it falls under
- Power and speed limits
- Homologation or type approval
- The tariff code
- Your import qualification
- Registration and road use
- Customs clearance, with your forwarder or import agent
Then we
- Check whether the product can be built to the requirements you name.
- Provide the documents that actually exist for that model and battery.
- Tell you plainly if a requirement cannot be met, before anything is produced.
What to confirm for yourself
These shortcuts sound reasonable and often lead to trouble at the destination. Each is worth checking for your own market before you order.
- “It has CE, so it fits every market”
- A broad CE claim does not cover every market. Documents are checked per model, per battery.
- “E-bike rules apply”
- E-bike tariff or anti-dumping rules are not applied to an electric scooter by default, and the reverse.
- “The problem can wait”
- If either side learns of an import limit or a transport failure, it is raised before production or delivery continues.
Questions about lithium shipping
Send the model and your destination; we check what exists for that battery.
Do all your scooters come with UN38.3 and an MSDS?
We do not make that claim. We provide them where they exist for the specific product and battery, and confirm that per order.
Are your scooters certified for my country?
Certificates we can provide include CE, EEC, LVD and RoHS. Copies are sent on request. Whether a scooter meets your country's requirements is confirmed by you; we then check whether the product can be built to them.
Who arranges a sample's shipping?
It is agreed with you for each sample. Before anything else, we check that the lithium-battery scooter can be carried, especially by your forwarder.
Can I add spare lithium batteries to my container?
Yes, batteries can ship with the scooters, under the same dangerous-goods rules. It is confirmed per order.
Who handles customs clearance?
You do, yourself or through your forwarder or import agent. We provide the export documents.
