Company History
QLINK brought value commuters and light dual-sports to North America by partnering with established Asian OEMs and focusing on logistics—EPA/DOT compliance, dealer training, and parts warehouses. The pitch was straightforward: new-bike warranty and spares at used-bike prices, aimed at students, delivery riders, and first-time owners. Success varied by dealer quality, but where prep and documentation were strong, QLINK models proved reliable and inexpensive to keep on the road. As the U.S. market evolved and emissions rules tightened, the lineup shifted, yet the brand’s role remains a case study in how distribution and aftersales can turn globally sourced hardware into a credible local product. Historically, QLINK widened access to two-wheel mobility by offering predictable ownership at the entry level.
