Company History
Linhai is one of China’s established powersports manufacturers, supplying scooters, ATVs/UTVs, and engines to both domestic and export partners. A long association with Yamaha brought process discipline, component quality, and emissions compliance that lifted the brand’s own offerings. Linhai scooters occupy the value end of the EU and North American markets, with EFI, CBS/ABS where required, and practical features—underseat storage, racks, and corrosion-aware finishes. ATVs/UTVs target small farms and municipalities with torque-friendly drivetrains and parts pipelines that keep downtime low. As regulations and customer expectations rose, Linhai invested in loom sealing, brake component quality, and documentation that independent shops can follow. Historically, Linhai exemplifies the maturation of Chinese OEMs through joint ventures: manufacturing scale meets global quality systems to deliver transport that’s both affordable and serviceable. For everyday riders, that means a scooter or quad that simply works and can be kept working for years.
