Founded in 1999 in Perth (Australia), the Australian group Vmoto Limited Corporation has been collaborating since 2017 with the Chinese company Super Soco, known in particular for its electric motorcycles. So much so that in 2020, a joint venture called Vmoto Soco was born from this partnership and in the process integrated E-Max, another brand of electric vehicles. However, in 2024, the group judges that it is time to simplify things for consumers to facilitate its international expansion.
In a press release posted online on Wednesday April 3, the Australian-Chinese group announced that it would abandon the name Super Soco in favor of Vmoto. Thus, all future electric scooters and motorcycles will now bear this name, with the exception of vehicles reserved for professionals. The latter will continue to be marketed under the Vmoto Fleet brand.
More clarity to approach the global market
“Today is an important day in the history of our company. Unifying all our activities under a single, strong brand like Vmoto means being able to address an increasingly demanding global market with clarity, transparency and determination, continuing to produce and design vehicles that deliver performance, quality and high-end design” said Vmoto CEO Charles Chen.
One of the models expected for 2024 is the Vmoto Stash. A model with high-end pretensions equipped with a central motor that can deliver up to 16 kW of peak power, equivalent to 125cc, and with an autonomy announced at 180 km in urban use (7.2 kWh battery).
