Company History
Xingfu appeared during China’s early motorization, producing small-capacity commuters that prioritized durability, parts interchangeability, and low running costs. Frames were simple steel; engines were air-cooled singles tuned for long life over power. In many cities, Xingfu scooters and motorcycles were the first family vehicle, maintained by neighborhood workshops using common tools. As market reforms brought foreign joint ventures and higher standards, Xingfu’s prominence faded, but the badge survives in vintage circles as a memory of practical mobility under constraint—machines that started in winter, carried groceries and passengers, and taught a generation of riders basic maintenance and road craft.
