Chinese electric tricycles go global

In 2024, the export volume of electric tricycles in China will reach 650000 units, with a total export value of nearly 5.5 billion US dollars, an increase of about 10%. Since the beginning of this year, many electric tricycle companies have continued to have full overseas orders.

According to Xingtai Customs, there are 299 enterprises exporting electric tricycles and motorcycles in Xingtai city, with an export value of nearly 3.3 billion yuan in 2024, an increase of 46.6%. Market expansion is shifting from Europe and America to demand growing regions such as Southeast Asia and Africa, and strengthening overseas localization operations to improve response efficiency.

The popularity of low-speed electric vehicles overseas is also related to a video work by a Chinese blogger in the United States.

At the end of 2023, blogger @ Bobo prepared a Christmas surprise tricycle in the United States and asked a domestic friend to cross the sea to give it to her American father-in-law. Later, a series of funny stories happened around the "Three Bounces", with over ten million views and many people successfully planting grass.

British purchaser Robert said, "Due to policy influences on the use of fuel vehicles, now is the time for the development of new energy vehicles." He stated that the streets in European cities are relatively narrow, and there is a high demand for small vehicles such as low-speed electric vehicles. Based on customer needs, he specifically came to the Canton Fair to search for new energy vehicles.
