EVs are the
vehicles that are powered by a system of battery, motor, and controller instead
of an internal combustion engine. Therefore,electric scooters are structually
much simpler than their gasoline motorcycle counterparts. EVs need about one
fourth the components of gasoline vehicles. This simplicity makes existing
gasoline motorcycle manufacturers reluctant to enter the EV industry because of
loyalty to sub-contractors for components and the expetise of engine engineers.
Although EV is normally considered to be technically simple, it requires an
advanced level of technology and expertise in manufacturing. Chinese electric
motorcycles have become largely popular in many parts of Asia. However, they face maintenance and
part supply chain problems in addition to product quality. Therefore, the
reputation of electric motorcycles remain low. Japanese gasoline motorcycles
dominate the market as a result. Terra Motors will bring innovation to the
Asian EV market by intorducing Japanese product quality combined with careful
after-sales service.
