About Horwin

Horwin is a global technology company specializing in the development and manufacturing of intelligent electric two-wheelers, positioning itself at the intersection of mobility and sustainable energy. The company was founded in 2016 with a mission to create high-performance, eco-friendly transportation solutions for a global audience. Operating with a unique global strategy, Horwin combines European design, with a design headquarters in Austria, and high-quality manufacturing in China. This approach leverages China's leadership in electric vehicle and battery technology while tailoring products for European consumer standards, focusing on aspects like larger vehicle bodies, material quality, and comfort. The company has established a significant presence with operational headquarters in Changzhou, R&D centers in Shenzhen and Hangzhou, and has expanded into Europe, the US, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.

Horwin's business model revolves around the direct sale and distribution of its electric motorcycles and scooters to consumers and business clients. Revenue is generated from the sale of these vehicles through a network of dealers and retail partners. The company has also engaged in strategic partnerships, such as a joint venture with Spiro, to expand its market reach. While some sources indicate the company has raised funds, including a Seed round of $13.7M in late 2022, others suggest it remains unfunded, indicating a complex or varied funding history across its global entities.

The product portfolio includes several series of electric two-wheelers designed for different market segments, from daily commuting to leisure sports. The EK and SK series are targeted at urban commuters, with models like the EK3, a 125cc-equivalent scooter that won a Red Dot Design Award in 2021. Another notable model is the CR6, a retro-styled commuter motorcycle praised for its build quality and affordability, featuring a 6.2kW motor and a range of 60-90 miles. The company’s flagship product line is the Senmenti series, which represents a significant technological leap. The Senmenti 0, described as a high-performance electric urban ADV, boasts impressive specifications: acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, a top speed of 124 mph, and a range of up to 186 miles from its 16.2 kWh battery. This model incorporates advanced technology, including over 30 sensors, AI-powered riding assistance, millimeter-wave radars for collision warnings, and DC fast charging that can replenish 80% of the battery in 30 minutes.
