In the last few years, there has been a massive proliferation of new e-bike brands from Asia. This has been driven by increasing demand for affordable e-bikes, particularly in the US, UK and EU markets. For the consumer, it can be overwhelming, trawling through all the different companies selling their products online. It’s even more difficult to know which brands take their after-sales support, and importantly the safety of their products seriously. One such brand is Ado e-bike, and in this article, I’ll take a closer look at their latest 2023 lineup and look at some of the safety tests they conduct on their e-bikes.

Ado E-Bike Laboratory

One year after the Ado brand was launched, they unveiled their e-bike laboratory, which is the result of 2.5 million Euros of investment. The company founder and CEO, Mr. Sen said: “We want to develop the ADO brand into a long-term brand. If we want to go further, we must invest in product development and experimental industries. ADO has always been customer-focused, and the laboratory is to create the most user-friendly brand. Design tools and carriers for the best experience, only a strong laboratory can have a strong product quality, and can create products with the best experience for users.”

ADO adheres to the original intention of “protecting urban commuting every day”, and is the first QTL electric bicycle laboratory in the industry that has been authorized by the international certification standard SGS – ADO EBIKE QTL Lab. This proves that ADO’s inspection and testing capabilities, innovative R&D capabilities and laboratory management level have reached the level of the domestic leading industry, which means that ADO’s products are all high-quality products that have undergone rigorous quality testing and meet international standards.

SGS (Societe Generale de Surveillance S.A.) is an internationally recognized product quality control and technical appraisal agency, and the largest and most qualified certification agency in the world. Among them, Chinese brands such as HUAWEI, TCL and Haier have also adopted SGS certification as the product certification standard.

Chinese e-bike brands have come under a lot of scrutiny in recent years regarding things like battery safety and such like. It’s really refreshing to see a relatively new brand invest so heavily in the safety and testing or their products. The e-bike market is continuing to grow rapidly and in an ever competitive market, companies that put a big emphasis on safety and after-sales service will thrive.
