Buyer FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on MOQ, pricing, payment terms, lead time, batteries, containers, warranty and certifications — the things importers ask us most. 常见问题解答。

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

We accept sample orders from 1 unit (air freight or LCL). For a full container shipment there is no strict MOQ on unbranded models — one 40HQ holds 85–241 units depending on the model, and you can mix models in a single container.

For OEM branding the MOQ is 50 units per model for logo plates and decals, 100 units per model for custom colours or packaging.

What are your payment terms?

Our standard terms are 30% T/T deposit, 70% balance against copy of bill of lading. For established repeat buyers we can discuss more flexible arrangements. We also accept L/C at sight for larger orders.

What is the production lead time?

25–45 days after receipt of deposit, depending on model and quantity. Sample orders ship in 7–15 days. Peak season (before Chinese New Year) can add 1–2 weeks, so plan early.

Can I get a sample before placing a container order?

Yes, and we recommend it. We can ship 1–5 units by air freight or LCL so you can inspect build quality, finish and performance before committing to volume. Sample cost is refundable against your first container order in many cases — ask us.

Do you support OEM / ODM and private label?

Yes — this is a core part of our business. We customise logo plates, body decals, colours, packaging, instruction manuals and even specification (for example switching lead-acid to lithium). See our OEM / ODM page for detail and MOQs.

What is the price of an electric scooter from your factory?

Every model is quoted individually — FOB price depends on the model, battery configuration (lead-acid or lithium), order quantity and destination port. Battery and charger are quoted separately — see our battery price page.

Send us your requirement and we reply with an itemized quotation within 24 hours.

Do the prices include batteries?

Vehicle price and battery price are quoted separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for and choose the configuration that fits your market. Our battery page publishes reference prices for transparency.

Lead-acid or lithium battery — which should I choose?

Lead-acid is cheaper up front, lasts 1.5–2 years and suits price-driven markets. Lithium LiFePO4 costs roughly twice as much but lasts 4–6 years, is 40–60% lighter and carries a 3-year warranty. Most new importers start with lead-acid and add a lithium model later. Full comparison on our battery page.

How many units fit in one container?

Between 85 and 241 units per 40HQ depending on model. Lightweight 350W models load 209–241 units; 500W models 195–209; 1000W models 96–195; the 1500W Big Harley loads 85. Exact figures are listed on each product page. See the shipping guide.

Which countries do you export to?

We ship worldwide, with particular experience in West and East Africa, North Africa, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. We work FOB, CIF and DDP — on selected lanes we can quote a landed, duty-paid price.

Do you supply spare parts?

Yes. Batteries, chargers, controllers, motors, tires, brake assemblies and body panels are all available. We recommend shipping a spare-parts kit with each container — typically batteries at around 5% of unit count plus common wear items. Ask us to build a kit into your quotation.

What warranty do you offer?

Lead-acid batteries carry a 1-year warranty and lithium LiFePO4 packs a 3-year warranty. Frame and motor defects are covered for 1 year. Warranty is settled by replacement parts shipped with your next order.

Do I need import certifications for my country?

Requirements vary widely. Some markets require homologation or type approval for electric two-wheelers, and battery transport rules apply to lithium. Tell us your destination country early and we will flag what is needed and prepare the documents — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and test reports.

Can I visit your factory?

Absolutely — we welcome factory visits and you are also welcome to send a third-party inspection agent. We are in Donggu Industrial Zone, Hegumiao Town, Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province. Please contact us in advance so we can prepare the models you want to see.

How do I place an order?

Send us your requirement by email, WhatsApp or the enquiry form on our contact page. We confirm specification and price, you approve a proforma invoice, pay the 30% deposit, and production begins. We keep you updated with production and loading photos throughout.
