Yadea from Jiangsu is tied with Emma and is known as the leader of China's two-wheeled electric vehicles. In 2018, more than 4 million units were sold worldwide, accounting for about 11.7% of total global EV sales. In 2016, Yadea was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first listed company in the industry. In recent years, Yadea has cut its e-bike product line, focusing on high-end electric vehicles and actively expanding overseas markets. In 2017, Yadea's manufactured products began to be sold to 77 countries and regions such as the United States and Germany.
Jiangsu Province has a good industrial foundation and rich experience in motorcycle manufacturing, which gives Yadea a natural advantage in the development of high-end electric motorcycles. High power, outstanding performance, and a bias towards sporty wind are the characteristics of Yadea electric motorcycles. Thanks to the mature manufacturing chain and cooperation channels, Yadea's products often use independent special research and development in core components such as motors, batteries, shock absorbers, and tires, or are products of top manufacturers in this field, which are more reliable than other domestic electric vehicle brands. The E7 and Z3 series are Yadea's most representative electric motorcycle products.
As the flagship model released in 2018, the E7 lithium battery version has the highest configuration of Yadea's offline electric moped products. The model is equipped with Yadea's self-developed 800W GTR motor, which means that it is more suitable for users who pursue power and speed than range. Equipped with Chuannan hydraulic front and rear shock absorption and front and rear disc brake system, at a speed of 40km/h, the E7 lithium battery version is still very reliable in shock absorption and braking. Although the E7 emphasizes power, because its battery uses Panasonic's 18650 lithium cells, the cruising range at 25km/h cruising speed still exceeds 80km, reaching the average level of lithium electric vehicles in the price range of 6000-7000 yuan. The E7 also has a lead-acid version, but the lead-acid version of the battery is heavier, which affects the battery life and power output, and the price is not much different from the lithium version, so it is recommended to choose the lithium version.
If the battery is the heart of an electric vehicle, the controller is the brain, which controls the start, run, speed, etc. of the vehicle. The E7 lithium battery version is equipped with Yadea's newly developed FOC vector controller, which is more stable than the general tubular controller in terms of heat dissipation and structure, and the sealing process makes it IPX7-level waterproof, shockproof and dustproof. The stability and reliability of the controller make the E7 have good off-road performance.
The Z3s, released at the end of 2017, is Yadea's entry into the high-end intelligent electric motorcycle, and it is benchmarking against the Maverick's M series in terms of configuration and price. Like the E7, the Z3s uses a GTR motor and a Panasonic lithium battery, but the motor power is upgraded to 1000W and the battery capacity also reaches 22AH. It can reach a top speed of more than 50 km/h and a range of 120 km at cruising speed, and can be charged from low to full charge in 2 hours with the battery equipped with a fast charging plug. With plenty of power, long battery life, and a sporty look, the Z3s is a huge attraction for users who want to go on the road in pursuit of speed. However, the rear shock absorption of the model has been "hard", that is, the rebound amplitude is insufficient, and the bumpy feeling is strong when passing through potholes or speed bumps at high speeds, which is a slight loss of color in this electric motorcycle priced at 8700 yuan.
For users who use electric vehicles to commute, they can choose Laike and E3. Laike is equipped with an 800W motor and a 60V/20AH battery, and the power performance is good in the electric motorcycle of about 4000 yuan. However, the range of Laike is only 65km, and users who do not want to charge it once in two days are recommended to choose E3. This Yadea star model in previous years, with a broadband motor power of 500W, is equipped with a black brick battery with 48/60 two versions to choose from, plus a weight of 65kg, and a full charge of more than 80km. Although the climbing ability is slightly weak, the comprehensive performance of the E3 is still outstanding in the electric vehicles below 4500 yuan.
In addition to electric mopeds and electric mopeds, with the release of the new national standard in 2018, Yadea also launched an electric moped Demon World II generation. This electric bike model adds a 36V lithium battery to the mountain bike for power boosting. However, its price of nearly 7,000 yuan is too serious for the immature product of the electric moped. Therefore, for Yadea's test product, you need to be cautious in purchasing.
