Manufacturing Facility

Veloteq electric bicycles and ebike products are manufactured in an ISO9001:2000 facility. It is comprised of finance and administrative departments, R&D, sales, production and quality control. The company occupies an area of 86,000 sq. ft. (8000 sq. m), including building area of over 60,000 sq. ft. (5600 sq. m.).   The addition of a new facility which will encompass an additional 20,000 sq. ft. is underway to separate domestic production from the core export production.  The facilities are located in Shanghai in close proximity to major ocean and airports.

It presently employs 100 personnel, of which 32 personnel hold college degrees, more than 30 engineering technical and managerial personnel, and 2 senior engineers. It has extensive production and sales experience in the industry, and is equipped with a first-class production line, inspection and quality control equipment, and an industrial molding design office. It conducts rigid inspections during all phases of product design, components authentication and technical process control, and employs strict testing of road reliability and durability for all of our products.

Veloteq is also teamed with Powergenix of San Diego, CA to develop a revolutionary new power supply offering greatly reduced size, weight, and recharge time and also a greater usable life, more than double that of conventional lead acid battery power supplies.  It will permit a much longer travel distance between recharges.  This project will come to reality in the last quarter of 2007.  It serves as another example of world leading Veloteq electric bicycle technology advances.
