  2. NKT
  3. VIMODE
  4. SINOTECH
  5. EZBIKE
  6. OEM

Don’t worry if you are reading these brand names for the first time because hundreds of brands with strange names exist in the Chinese online marketplace, such as Alibaba, AliExpress, Banggood, DHgate, and GearBest.

Not all scooters come of poor quality. Many customers are using Chinese scooters with no complaint. But, most of the Chinese scooters are not really worth buying due to the poor quality standards.

Reasons Not to Buy a Chinese Scooter

The following are the main reasons that you should avoid these made in china scooters.

Quality Control

They manufacture these scooters in mass without any quality standard. Their primary aim is to produce goods at a minimal cost.

Some scooters come without a front wheel installed, missing mirrors, battery without acid, missing tools kit, and unfinished electrical connections.

You will not like any of these problems in your scooter because quality is important to ensure safety while riding.

Anonymous brands

This might be a big concern before purchasing from a Chinese dealer because it is difficult to get authentic information about the brand.

So, if you buy from an unknown brand, you will not be able to easily find spare parts. Hence, it will put you in serious trouble to even fix a minor issue.

Always do your research about the brand and the availability of the spare parts before making a final decision.

Reliability

If you have decided to buy a Chinese scooter, then look for other qualities instead of durability.

No offense, but reliability is a word, which is missing in Chinese dictionaries. Their brands are precarious.

You may get the best scooter and the worst in the next purchase from the same supplier.
So, you need to check the seller’s portfolio and their customers’ feedback about their product.

    • Hi Travis,

      I hope you are doing great!

      Yongfu is a less popular brand. You will be having difficulty finding the spare parts of the scooter in case of any issue. Also, the manual is written in Chinese, which might be challenging if you don’t understand the Chinese language.
      On the other hand, Taiwanese scooters are competitively priced, have the decent build quality, are reliable, and keep their value reasonably well.

    • Hi Mike,
      Actually, there are many local manufacturers in China producing these scooters. The bad thing about these scooters is that you won’t easily find their parts on the local market.
