Jonway Vajra125 - Specifications & Review

Company History

Jonway grew during China’s 2000s scooter boom, building EU- and U.S.-compliant step-throughs and 125–300 cc commuters at scale. The brand’s edge was modular manufacturing: proven GY6-style singles, CVTs, and shared chassis stamped in volume, then trimmed to meet regional regulations and tastes. In Europe and North America, Jonway often appeared as an OEM behind distributor badges, which meant the real ownership experience depended on the local importer’s parts shelves and prep standards. Over time, Jonway followed the industry’s quality climb—better loom sealing, EFI on regulated models, stronger brake packages—narrowing the day-to-day gap with pricier rivals for urban use. The company also dabbled in EV scooters as city policies tightened. Historically, Jonway epitomizes the supply-chain model that democratized two-wheel mobility: capable mechanicals made affordable by scale, localized by distributors who handled homologation and support. For countless students, delivery riders, and first-time commuters, a Jonway-built scooter was the first “new” vehicle—quietly expanding independence, one twist-and-go ride at a time.
