FULL Access! I go behind the scenes at Yadea's e-scooter factory

I spent a day touring Yadea's Anhui factory to see how they build millions of high-quality electric bikes, scooters, mopeds, and three-wheelers each year.
As an added treat, I got to test-ride many of their awesome vehicles, too! It was a fascinating trip, and you're coming along to check it out and experience it with me! You can also read the full story here: electrek.co/?p=359841
See Yadea online at store.yadea.com/ for all the models they offer in North America.

Good god, you are what America needs, new entrepreneur spirit. Research not just on paper but on the ground, and willingness to cooperate. Growth happens when we open the door and our minds, not just popular rhetoric, blind gambling, or ill-placed trust. With your spirit, you never know, may be your company will grow to some monster size in 10 years. Hope to see more of your videos during your stay in China.

I hope you have a white plate(a proper one) instead of a yellow plate(the temporary one), cause the SZ police WILL take your scooter away. Also mind you that the fine for not wearing helmet here is 200rmb instead of 20 in other Chinese cities. Fk SZ.

In China, almost every family has an electric bicycle (although many families already own car). The use cost of electric bicycles is very low, and parking is simple. On some occasions, you can't find a parking space by driving a car, but there is no such trouble when using an electric bicycle. Besides, you don't need any license to drive an electric bicycle.

[@iBackBeat]

Impressive documentary! Nice people over there 😉👍!

[@shoangore]

That factory size is wild! I actually am waiting on an Elite Max X2 to arrive at the end of the week, I was slightly concerned because I didn't recognize the brand name but this makes me feel a whole lot better (especially seeing how much it's capable of doing for the torture test)

[@vcn2022chaos]

Electric two-wheelers are an excellent and affordable mode of transportation. They are very inexpensive, typically costing between $200 and $500. Depending on the battery configuration, a single charge can provide a range of 30 to 200 kilometers. If you live within 10 kilometers of your workplace or need to go to town/city to buy some daily necessities, this is a very suitable option. In China, the electricity cost is $0.09 per kWh, so the energy consumption of electric vehicles is almost negligible for the average person. Parking is also very easy, requiring only slightly more space than a bicycle. This is why they are so popular in China.

@@FucareBike In the same way that the US is a military superpower, China is a manufacturing superpower, as proven by the fact that even a scooter factory is automated to the gills. There is a reason the US is throwing up 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, because US manufacturing simply cannot compete.

[@troywalt4834]

Incredible, it's crazy how EU exagerated and lame restriction on speed and power would outright make most of these bikes banned. EU acting like they care about the environment and then ennacting the most restricted legislation on ebike is ridiculous, EU is obviously hurting the EV two wheelers market and maybe it is on purpose

Mopeds and e-bikes have been in our life for at least two decades, we take it as poor man’s mobility choice, if one get higher salaries he/she would definitely get an car(ICE or ev) to shield from the environment, as is is not nice to be out there except for a few nice days. So it is a bit funny to see rich westerners view it a lifestyle choice(no matter what the reasons)😂 Still, great documentary.
