Lance scooters out-of-business? BMS too? [huh]  By  floridagull (Read 8,575 times)

Hey Everyone,

You had asked if we were switching from ZNEN and the answer is yes. Over the last year and a half, we have witnessed a significant and alarming drop in quality from our manufacturing partner, ZNEN. I personally have made multiple trips to the factory to have meetings with ZNEN’s engineers, sales staff, and assembly workers… along with our inspector. In addition, on a nightly basis, I am in constant contact with the factory, providing detailed reports showing feedback we are receiving from end users, dealership staff, and our own staff evaluations of the products. It has seemed over the last year and a half, that as we fix one issue, another two occur. Due to this, we ceased ordering from the ZNEN factory in July of 2015 to take the necessary time to address and correct all of our noted issues so the quality of future orders would not continue to decline in quality. Even with our constant pro-active efforts to keep quality levels up, many of our dealers have seen and mentioned the quality drop to us, and it’s not just with Bintelli Scooters, but with all scooters produced by the ZNEN factory. We at Bintelli will not sell a product we are not proud of. If we’re putting our name behind it, we want it to be the best scooter we can provide for that price point. Our dealers have all have been begging us to make a change due to the quality drop… so we have.

After much consideration and real world testing of their samples, we are excited to announce that we have joined forces with a different factory, Zhejiang Jiajue. Our new factory has the capacity to produce 300,000 motorcycles and scooters in a year, as needed. In 2014 they produced 154,000 scooters and motorcycles and currently employ a staff of 500+ employees. One dealer told us last month, unaware of our pending announcement, “Jiajue is the best kept secret in China!”

I actually just returned from a trip in January to visit the factory to inspect our first orders and boy was I blown away! The quality was even better than we saw on our original sample order… better than the pictures we received as well. The quality I witnessed was reminiscent of ZNEN quality in 2012 and 2013… but with even better paint.

Regarding our model lineup, virtually every model that we were planning on bringing back in 2016 will still be offered through our new factory. At the end of the day, our dealers and customers buy a Bintelli scooter because they know that we stand for quality – both in our scooters and our post sale service and support. None of that changes. Everything everyone has grown to love with Bintelli is staying true.

This change is not something we took lightly, but was something that had to be done. Rest assured that we will continue stocking ZNEN parts for all of our scooters we have previously sold. We are not abandoning any ZNEN models for support, don't worry about that. In continuing with our founding principle, it is our duty to ensure we are providing you with the highest quality product possible, packed with value and offered at an affordable price. Your confidence and trust in us to follow through on our promises is something we take immense pride in. With these new scooters teaming up with our Taiwan made Adly Scooters, this is going to be an incredible year. Join us for the ride and Experience the Difference!

Sincerely,
Justin Jackrel
Bintelli, President

Is it just me or does that logo for Longjia look like it's right out of the Third Reich ?

Well, aii I can say is Znen better get they're house in order but quick. Between the Chinese government all but outlawing both scoots and motorcycles in the major cities (there goes a big chunk of the domestic market) and India marketing a better quality product worldwide, they had better up their game if they hope to survive.

Yep. Looks to be the same people as the post-McCaleb Genuine: www.corporationwiki.com/p/2e8hc7/dorothy-hanley
