Voltage and battery
Platforms are 48V, 60V, and 72V. Entry configurations are often lead-acid; mid and premium configurations use graphene or lithium. Mains charger voltage and plug type are confirmed for Kenya on the order (see the charger guide). The configuration is confirmed at quotation. This page does not publish retail price tables.
Export mode and logistics
CBU is for retail-ready stock. SKD or CKD applies when local assembly or the tariff position favors kits — confirm the HS code with a Kenyan broker. Sea freight is commonly planned to Mombasa or the port named on the proforma. Incoterm and transit are stated on the quotation.
Documents and compliance
The export pack is the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Origin certificates are prepared on request. Destination programs such as KEBS / PVoC-style requirements are arranged on application by model and market. Verify current Kenyan import rules with your broker. Sample laboratory certificates shown on the main site apply to the tested samples only — not a blanket claim for every SKU.
