Cleaner Greener China

The very fact China has had this week to halve and then almost abolish transport on Beijing’s streets to achieve its clear sky objective, is more than a massive publicity necessity,”

- Vmoto managing director Patrick Davin

This statement is potentially the most powerful/ dangerous in Vmoto’s announcement that it would begin producing two of its motos in China: the World Scooter and the Scartt Road UTV

According to another announcement

the World Scooter will be available in either a 125cc fuel-efficient petrol model or a 2,000-watt electric model, while the 4WD Scartt Road will offer a ‘dual-fuel’ combination of a 620cc fourstroke engine and a 4,000-watt electric engine.

Electric bikes and motos are products that have already done quite well in China, and as we recently saw through the destruction of nearly 5000 gas motorcycles in Shenzhen, there is a market for clean products. For Vmoto, their primary market to date has been in Australia, and in reviewing some of their materials and website, my concern is not on the product side..

it is on the pricing side, and if they will be able to bring a competitively priced product to the market
