A friend had been looking to buy an electric scooter for quite some time now and last Sunday was finally the day when we made it happen. I asked him to Click Here so he may know the locations to where the most reputed scooter dealers would ship to.
After plenty of research we found a shop on the corner of Xikang Lu near Haifang Lu that sells Vespa style Chinese electric scooters, both regular but also with 60V for 3000RMB. It includes a 15 months warranty on the battery and a 12 months warranty on the overall bike. Throw in a lock and you got yourself one kick ass bike.
We spent the rest of Sunday riding all over town and I’m so smitten, I’m considering to purchase one myself.
Hi Sonja, do you know if your friend is still happy with this kind of e-scooter and the shop where he bought it? I’m considering to buy one too.
Thanks, Uwe
Hi Uwe,
yes – he’s still very happy with it and the scooter has become his main means of transportation. It’s love!
Make sure to have the shop test whether you’re speed gauge works – that was the one thing that came up but it was no problem to go back and get it replaced. In any case, you get a full year warranty.
Hope you enjoy life with a scooter!
Cheers
Sonja
Hi Sonja, thanks for your quick feedback. Do you remember the shop name or is it the only bike shop in Xikang Lu near Haifang Lu that offers this type of e-scooter? Regards, Uwe
Hi Uwe,
the store only has a Chinese name, thus not sure. But when heading north on Xikang Lu, about 50 meters before crossing Haifang Lu on your left hand-side.
hi Sonja
Like yer site – we’re gonna head down to the shop now to grab a scooter. Hey if you like cycling we do spin classes (not the same as the outdoors i know but good fun all the same). Come have a free spin on us as thanks for the lead.

Hi Jon!
I’d love to come by for a spin class. I’ll be back in Shanghai after the holiday – I’ll drop you an email then.
Hope you like your scooter!
Cheers

Hi guys, we are planning to buy this kind of vespa e-scooter.
Jon, did you buy one also?
Everything is ok with the bike, it works well?
i assume it is not a streetlegal bike, did you have any problem due to this?
Any feedback is welcome!
Regards, Sandor
