Export Packaging and Container Shipping
How we pack and load electric two-wheelers for export.
We pack electric bikes, seated scooters, motorcycles and tricycles in our own factory in Taizhou and load them to your model mix. Containers can mix models with a flexible MOQ, with shipment requirements agreed for the selected battery and destination.
Flexible MOQ by model, with models mixed in one container; about one month per container. We reply within 24 hours on working days.
In brief: BG EBIKE packs every vehicle in its own factory in Taizhou, China after routine checks. Seated scooters are placed in packing frames and cartons, e-bikes are boxed, and parts removed for packing are recorded on the packing list. Cartons are strapped and wrapped before loading. One container can mix models with a flexible MOQ, and we confirm how your mix fits before production. A full container takes 30–35 days and ships from Ningbo. A 40HQ holds about 140 small e-bikes, 80–100 mid-size vehicles or 20–40 large models. MSDS and UN38.3 test summary supplied for lithium battery shipments. For shipment before Chinese New Year, allow 45–50 days.
From production line to container
- Final check. Each vehicle gets routine checks before it leaves the assembly line.
- Protective packing. Frames, panels and controls are protected; parts such as mirrors or handlebars may be packed separately depending on the model.
- Cartons and frames. Scooters go into packing frames and cartons; e-bikes and parts go into cartons.
- Strapping and labelling. Cartons are strapped and marked to match the packing list.
- Loading. After inspection and the balance payment, the container is loaded to your model mix and shipped from Ningbo.
Packing in our factory
Mixed containers
MOQ is flexible by model, so one container can combine e-bikes, scooters, motorcycles, tricycles and spare parts. Carton sizes differ by model, which means the number of units per container depends on your mix. Send the models and quantities you have in mind, and we confirm how they fit before production.
| Vehicle size | Units per 40HQ (guide) | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Small e-bikes | About 140 | Compact and folding e-bikes |
| Mid-size vehicles | About 80–100 | Most seated scooters and full-size e-bikes |
| Large vehicles | About 20–40 | Motorcycles, tricycles and large scooters; depends on the model |
To estimate volume yourself, see electric bike container loading and CBM.
Lithium battery shipments
Prepare the shipment around the selected battery configuration, packing and destination. Confirm the required labels, documents and booking arrangements with the appointed carrier before loading. MSDS and UN38.3 test summary supplied for lithium battery shipments. Tell us the destination early, and for shipment before Chinese New Year allow 45–50 days. Read UN38.3 test summary vs MSDS for what each document covers.
What to agree before shipment
- Model mix and quantities per model and colour, matching the quotation.
- Carton marks and packing list, so each carton can be matched to its contents on arrival — see carton marks and packing lists.
- Parts packed separately and the vehicles they belong to.
- Moisture protection for long sea routes — see container condensation.
- Preparation at arrival: the work your team does before handover — see pre-delivery inspection.
How can you compare packing volume before choosing a model mix?
Calculate each carton volume as length × width × height in metres, then multiply by the carton quantity. Keep vehicle cartons and separate parts cartons on different lines. The total is a volume estimate; it does not establish that the load will fit a container.
Illustrative calculation: a hypothetical carton measuring 1.50 × 0.40 × 0.80m occupies 0.48m³. Twenty such cartons total 9.60m³ before separate parts. These are example dimensions, not a BG EBIKE model specification or a loading guarantee.
A loading plan must also account for actual carton dimensions, orientation, stacking limits, load weight, protection and door access. Use the quoted packing version rather than the vehicle’s assembled dimensions. For a mixed order, connect each carton line to its model, configuration, colour and quantity using the carton-mark and packing-list guide.

Packaging and shipping FAQs
How many vehicles fit in one container?
It depends on the models. As a guide, a 40HQ holds about 140 small e-bikes, about 80–100 mid-size scooters or e-bikes, and about 20–40 large models such as motorcycles or tricycles. Send the models and quantities you plan to order, and we confirm how your mix fits before production.
Can I mix models and parts in one container?
Yes. MOQ is flexible by model, so you can combine different models and ranges with spare parts in one container. The packing list records every carton and its contents.
How are scooters and e-bikes packed?
Seated scooters are placed in packing frames and cartons; e-bikes and parts are packed in cartons. Depending on the model, parts such as mirrors, handlebars or pedals may be packed separately and are recorded on the packing list. Cartons are strapped and wrapped before loading.
Which documents come with lithium batteries?
MSDS and UN38.3 test summary supplied for lithium battery shipments. Share your destination and shipping method early so the documents and packing can be prepared with the order.
How long does it take before the container ships?
A full container takes 30–35 days once the configuration is agreed; for shipment before Chinese New Year, allow 45–50 days. Packing and loading are part of that time; sea transit to your port comes on top.
