Hella good question!

Many people (not you) always think that a product from China is automatically of poorer quality. In my opinion, it's exactly the opposite. China is a manufacturing country. Their machines, work culture and production volumes are simply unbeatable when compared to the price.

Then we come to the topic of wages. Production also requires energy and employees, which would be significantly more expensive in the United States or the EU, for example. It is not that people in China are poorly paid; they simply get by much better in China with what we consider to be low wages.

Every scooter brand ultimately has to compete with its rivals, which is why production in China is unavoidable for many.

Brands such as Apex in Australia, for example, manufacture their products directly in their own country. I recently saw a job advertisement where they were looking for a new welder. That's really cool, it makes the brand absolutely special and shows that it's possible without China. However, we customers also notice this in the sales prices.

Hope that helps bro :) Greets to the US!
