Chinese Giant BYD May Enter Motorcycle World With Premium Mid-Size Electric Scooter

Chinese giant BYD, a globally recognized electric vehicle manufacturer, is a leader in China and many markets where it operates.

Now, the company, also know as ‘Build Your Dream’ (BYD), may be entering a new segment, this time on two wheels, much to the dismay of its competitors.

A few patent drawings have emerged that indicate that BYD may be developing a premium, mid-size electric scooter, with all the technology the company already has.

This scooter will likely be equipped with blade batteries, a specialty of the company, which allow for high currents and many charging cycles.

The project seems to be quite interesting, with a slightly larger front wheel (probably 15″), inverted front suspension, central engine and final drive via belt.

The size and build in the drawings indicate a scooter very similar to the Honda Forza 350, that is, a model with plenty of space and comfort for both the rider and the passenger.

For now, nothing has been confirmed, but judging by the drawings released, it seems that the development of this electric scooter may be at an advanced stage, which would allow its launch in the near future.

Anyway, will the giant of four-wheeled electric vehicles also be able to be a powerhouse on two wheels? Only time will tell.
