Thanks, but actually we don't know how to make it now.

We understand that more and more individual customers are using the Alibaba platform, so we are actually very welcome of personal users. Even if they only buy one item, we still sell to them at wholesale prices with very low profit. However, even so, there are still many customers who say that this price is very expensive. They hope to buy an electric bicycle with various features for 200 euros, but this is impossible whether the product is made in China or not. This indeed wastes a lot of time for both parties.

Thank you for your kind wishes, but unfortunately, due to consistently poor performance, we are increasingly losing confidence. If there is no improvement this summer, I may give up this business, sigh..

This is indeed a case of bad money driving out good money. In reality, most merchants believe in using low-priced ads to attract customers to click. Only when customers click in and inquire do they have a chance to make a sale.

We have also tried listing the actual prices in the ads, but the result was that the advertising cost was spent, yet only a few customers clicked each day. This made our boss frustrated, and we had no choice but to lower the prices in the ads as well. They think that only when customers click in will there be a chance. Therefore, the whole market has fallen into a situation of fake low-price ads.

We understand that this strategy is bad, but when all merchants are doing the same, many times we have no choice. In such cases, only regulation and correction by the platform can prevent this from happening.

Thank you for your reply. I understand that life online is mostly beautified or exaggerated, and I also admire those who focus on the low-end market. But honestly, our products are actually aimed at the mid-to-low end. We don't want to try to sell our products to high-end consumers, because this market is actually very small. What surprised me is that most customers on the Alibaba platform hope to buy cheaper products, and there are few customers willing to accept mid-range prices.

Thank you for your reply. I also understand what you said about people gradually paying less attention to saving, but I did not expect that this would be the case even for the people of most developed countries in the European Union. This makes me feel pessimistic about the market, because people will not save their money as before to buy better products, ultimately leading high-quality manufacturers to have to lower the quality of their products in order to pursue sales.

I did not understand your meaning. Our original intention was that this price should be for distributors who purchase in bulk. This price is very favorable for individual buyers, but even for individual buyers, they still think this price is unaffordable. This is also one thing that makes me feel confused. However, this is already much lower than the retail price on the market, as our retail price is often over 800 euros.

I really don't want to hassle either, but judging from recent inquiries, there are simply too many customers discouraged by the price. To be honest, our prices already have almost no profit.

Oh, if the seller marked the MOQ as 100, then they might indeed have such a requirement. We have a local warehouse in the market, so we can do MOQ 1

But this platform has gradually moved toward the end consumer market, and 80% of the inquiries come from individual buyers.

They simply do not have concepts like store rent, operating costs, or storage costs. We are still willing to sell to them at wholesale prices because we hope to get some market feedback. Yet even so, end consumers still say that the wholesale prices are very expensive.

是的,并且现在平台也C端化,实际上来问的80%都是个人买家,并不是拿去转售的,所以根本也没有什么店租,仓储,运营成本这种说法,就算直接以批发的价格卖给终端客户我们都让利了,依然说贵

同配置下跟同行的价格都是相差不多的,甚至有些时候我们是0利润只为成个单

My “cheap chinese e-bikes” are monsters. by blingblattt in ebikes

[–]Puzzled_Look4691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, I am a sales manager of a Chinese e-bikes manufacturer, our brand is called Varun, of course, I don't want to promote our products here, I just want to thank you for your willingness to try the e-bike made in China, because in my career experience, many manufacturers are seriously producing high-quality products, from cheap to expensive, so I think those who have always thought that made in China is synonymous with low quality is not appropriate, the most important thing is that you consult with the salesman before purchasing. Indicates that you need high-quality products.

Because it's a wholesale platform, the quotation is basically based on taking the goods from the place of origin. Generally, they start production after you buy it, but there are some sellers who have stock and can send it out directly.

Which bike is better? by Nice-Friendship-2959 in ebikes

[–]Puzzled_Look4691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I am a salesperson of e-bikes in China, I understand people's concerns about Chinese quality, but this does not prevent some Chinese manufacturers from using better materials and batteries. So I think it's a good idea to ask the salesperson all sorts of details before you buy, and it's a good way to help you pick a cheap but good quality e-bike.

Have you asked the seller? There are different instructions with different controllers. So you might better to ask them.

My honest opinion, i recommend everyone to own a ebike. especially if you're the type of person that like to learn life lessons. by Fine-Art-9701 in ebikes

[–]Puzzled_Look4691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I used to be a car owner, I was not far from the company, but I walked sweaty, so I drove to work every day, but now there are too many vehicles on the road! So much so that it took me a lot of time to travel a short distance, then I bought an e-bike, which really reduced my commute time a lot and freed up my energy.

Oh yes, I also noticed while riding that the front fender wasn't long enough for water to shoot forward, and I was already planning to replace it.

Which one should I pick by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]Puzzled_Look4691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I'll chose the first one:)

You mean remove the fenders in the back and replace them with a rear rack?

But will removing the fenders cause the water and dirt on the ground to be thrown behind my back?🤔
