Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Horwin is preparing to introduce itself to the American market. Next week it will in fact be among the exhibitors at CES in Las Vegas, the famous Consumer Electronics Show which every year gives us a glimpse of the most innovative and technological products and which this year is scheduled for January 9 to 12, 2024.
On display at Horwin will be the Senmenti 0, an electric maxi scooter that we saw in its final form at EICMA 2023 and which, not by chance, we included among the most innovative products at the show. There’s talk of a 16.2 kWh battery for a range of 300 km that can be recharged to 80% in 30 minutes, as well as 0-100 acceleration of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h. The price in the USA will be 16,800 dollars, while, for comparison, in Europe it should arrive in the second half of the year at 14,900 euros plus VAT.
So we can already talk about a significant price, but not at all absurd, given the level of technology used and the performance promised. For the first 500 American customers who book, Horwin will offer three years of free charging, lifetime OTA updates with a deposit of just one hundred dollars. We’ll see what happens here in Europe.
Abroad, the headquarters will – obviously – be in California, although the city has not yet been specified, while the aim is clear: to focus on high-quality products. Horwin Wendsor’s founder and CEO, Zhou Wei, spoke to Moto.it during EICMA and obviously expressed great enthusiasm for the brand’s expansion into the American market. At CES in Las Vegas, it will certainly also carry the two concepts we were lucky enough to see at EICMA, namely the Senmenti X and Senmenti 11, which show us how the Chinese company is positioning itself as a highly innovative brand that also innovates.
