Ever wondered how an electric scooter goes from metal parts to a fully fledged electric motor? Here we take you inside a factory in Taizhou, Southern China to show you exactly how that's done!
NOTE: This is a video that was made a little while ago however we weren't able to post it at that time due to some logistics issues.

Electric vehicles are a means of transportation available in almost every Chinese family, which is environmentally friendly and convenient. When I was in high school, I rode an electric bike to school, and when I got home from college, I rode it to go shopping or meet friends. Driving car is really not environmentally friendly and very troublesome，I don’t like driving even if I have a driver’s licens. It is great to see this industry booming.

[@sparkeyjones6261]

I kind of wonder about the carbon footprint associated with a bike like this that may only last a few years before needing to be replaced, vs one ICE or electric of higher quality that can last for decades.

Great, I'm all for diversity of transport options, but public safety is tops, whoa cowboys!

[@user-vz4vo7ec6i]

Because of the importance of environmental protection, so many people give up fuel cars and choose electric cars or bicycles to travel. This is also the reason why Tesla is going bankrupt in the United States, but it is very popular in China. Although China's efforts alone cannot change the earth's environment a lot, it is better to change a little than not to change it.

[@stephenlock7236]

@@user-vz4vo7ec6i Unlike some other countries who only talk and criticise other countries about climate change and environmental problems; particularly the US, Britain, Australia and Norway; China is moving ahead with its plans and commitments to clean up its environment.

If you purchase only one pc from China and send you via DHL the cost will be 300usd similar. but importers purchased large quantity (400pcs at once) and ship via sea transport, the average cost per bike will be only 20-30usd, others are profit.😃 But mainly the profit have to share with distributors.
