E‑Bike and Electric Scooter Samples
Check a model before you commit to a container.
Samples are sold at the unit price, and the cost is credited against your bulk order. Sample lead time depends on the model. Samples without a lithium battery ship by international express or in a consolidated shipment, as you prefer.
Flexible MOQ by model, with models mixed in one container; 30–35 days for a full container. We reply within 24 hours on working days.
In brief: BG EBIKE sells samples of its electric bikes, seated scooters, motorcycles and tricycles at the unit price, and credits the sample cost against the buyer’s bulk order. Sample lead time depends on the model. Lithium batteries travel as dangerous goods, so samples with a lithium battery are difficult to send; without the battery, a sample can go by international express or in a consolidated shipment, depending on the buyer’s requirement. MOQ is flexible and set by model, and models can be mixed in one container; a full container takes 30–35 days once the configuration is agreed.
How sampling works
- Choose the model and configuration. Battery, motor, colour and accessories — the same version you plan to order in bulk.
- Receive a sample quotation. Samples are priced at the unit price; the quotation also states the sample lead time for that model.
- Production. The sample is produced and assembled in our own factory with routine checks before packing.
- Shipping. Without a lithium battery, by international express or in a consolidated shipment, as you prefer.
- Evaluate and order. When you place the bulk order, the sample cost is credited against it.

Why samples usually travel without the battery
Lithium batteries are classed as dangerous goods for transport, so small parcel and air services often refuse them or need extra documents. Shipping the sample without its battery lets you check the frame, finish, controls, equipment and packing quickly. MSDS and UN38.3 test summary supplied for lithium battery shipments.
If you need to assess the battery as well, tell us your destination; we suggest the practical option, such as sending the sample with a consolidated sea shipment.
What to check on a sample
- Configuration against the quotation: battery version, motor, brakes, tyres and equipment.
- Finish and colour under daylight, plus any logo position if you plan private label.
- Controls and functions: display, lights, horn, brakes and, where fitted, throttle and NFC start.
- Fit for your market: rider fit, seat height and the accessories your customers expect.
- Packing: how the vehicle arrives and what assembly is needed before sale.
Use our sample evaluation checklist to record findings and carry the approved version into the bulk order.
What should you record before approving a sample?
Approve a defined configuration, not just a model name. Keep the quotation version, photographs and your observations together so any production change is visible before the bulk order.
- Identity: model, sample reference and quotation date.
- Configuration: motor rating, battery version, charger, brakes, tyres and supplied accessories.
- Observed result: record what was inspected, the result and a photograph where useful. Separate measured results from catalogue figures.
- Open points: list missing components, unresolved functions and changes requested before approval.
- Approved production version: identify accepted changes and retain the final specification with the order.
A sample shipped without its battery can support inspection of the frame, finish, dimensions and packing. It does not by itself verify powered functions, charging or range. Record those checks as outstanding until the correct matched equipment is available; do not mark the whole configuration as tested.
Compare the battery versions of the F2 or the equipment on the Blue U before requesting a sample. Choose the same version intended for the bulk order.

Sample FAQs
Do I have to pay for samples?
Yes. Samples are sold at the unit price of the model and configuration. When you place the bulk order, the sample cost is credited against it, with the credit recorded in the bulk order. Freight and any other charges should be listed separately rather than assumed to be included in that credit.
How long does a sample take?
Sample lead time depends on the model, because each model and configuration is produced in our own factory. The sample quotation states the lead time for the version you choose; shipping time comes on top and depends on the method and destination.
Can you send a sample with a lithium battery?
It is difficult, because lithium batteries travel as dangerous goods and many parcel and air services refuse them. Most samples go without the battery by international express or in a consolidated shipment. Tell us your destination if you also need to assess the battery.
Can I order samples of several models?
Yes. Each sample is sold at its unit price, and the costs are credited against your bulk order. Choose the versions you are most likely to order, so the samples help you decide the container mix.
How is the approved sample carried into the bulk order?
Confirm the approved version in the bulk quotation. MOQ is flexible by model and models can be mixed, a full container takes 30–35 days, and the balance is paid after inspection, before loading.
