Yadea Launches Three New Models Targeting Smart Mobility and Extended Range Needs

[Ebrun Original] Recently, two-wheel electric vehicle brand Yadea held a two-day "Ultimate Smart Partner" 2026 Yadea Goneng Smart Technology Carnival event in Shenzhen, officially launching three new flagship models: the Yadea Goneng White Shark II, Yadea Goneng Starship II, and Yadea Goneng i7. The three products respectively focus on "smart features," "performance," and "style" as their core highlights, targeting commuters, performance-focused touring riders, and young, style-conscious user groups.

According to official information, Yadea currently has seven product lines, including the Goneng series, Modern series, New National Standard series, three-wheel series, e-bike series, scooter series, and Fly series. Among these, the Goneng series is positioned as a "higher-end long-range electric vehicle" and is a key product line. Since its launch in 2020, cumulative sales of the Yadea Goneng series have exceeded 20 million units. The three newly launched models all belong to this series.

"The Goneng series has always been Yadea's benchmark, achieving the number one global sales and becoming a veritable super hit," said Zhou Chaoyang, Senior Vice President and Rotating President of Yadea Technology Group, during the launch event.

It is reported that the Yadea Goneng White Shark II is equipped with the Yadea OS system, features a 6-inch smart screen supporting navigation and calling functions, and ranked first in the "under 10,000 RMB smart electric motorcycle category" in Ludashi tests. The Yadea Goneng Starship II focuses on high performance, with a peak motor power of 12,960W, and is equipped with a semi-solid-state lithium battery and a liquid-cooled controller. The Yadea Goneng i7 emphasizes exterior design and customizable lighting effects, while also featuring multi-scenario smart care and safety imaging functions.

According to on-site product promotion staff, the White Shark II is equipped with a sodium battery, which offers better safety and temperature tolerance compared to lead-acid and lithium batteries.

"When we conducted tests in northern regions, lithium batteries experienced performance degradation in cold environments around 3-4 degrees Celsius, but the sodium battery maintained good operating condition. Actually, many users in northern markets currently use small vehicles for short trips, like going to the market to buy groceries and returning; the demand for long range hasn't been fully met yet. Our product aims to fill this gap in long-range needs for northern regions," he stated.

Furthermore, smart features are a major highlight of the new products. For example, the White Shark II is equipped with an "AI companion" called Xiao Di, integrated with a large AI model. It can remind riders to use sun protection or carry a raincoat based on the weather, and also interact with the rider during startup, braking, and turning, enhancing the fun of riding. The Yadea Goneng Starship II features a 7-inch smart screen supporting AI voice interaction, developing towards a direction that integrates higher performance with stronger intelligence. The Yadea Goneng i7 also supports the Yadea OS smart system, with built-in multi-scenario smart care, AI safety imaging, a dashcam, and other smart configurations.

Regarding globalization, Ebrun learned that Yadea products have been exported to over 100 countries worldwide and the company has production and R&D bases in countries including Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Mexico. Currently, Yadea's overseas market contribution is less than 10%, indicating an early stage of globalization, but overseas business is growing rapidly. In 2024, Yadea's overseas sales increased by 23% year-over-year, with the Vietnam factory contributing 70% of the production and sales volume for the Southeast Asian market.

Staff at the launch event told Ebrun that the previous generation Starship S80 (marketed overseas as the GS80) was already sold in multiple global markets including Madagascar, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Ukraine, and Iraq. Additionally, the "Modern Sparkle" model, primarily targeting female riders, also has an overseas version.

"Overseas markets are influenced by local regulations and communication functionalities. For instance, some regions can only use lithium or lead-acid batteries. Furthermore, due to restrictions on network operation permissions, operating the Yadea Smart Riding APP overseas is more challenging, and consequently, the smart features of overseas products are somewhat reduced, such as lacking GPS positioning," the staff explained.

Ebrun will continue tracking this development. To learn more information related to this article, please scan the QR code to follow the author's WeChat.
