Bintelli Escape 49 - Specifications & Review

Company History

Charleston-based Bintelli built its name by pairing globally sourced hardware with attentive American distribution and service. Starting with affordable scooters, the company expanded into e-bikes and low-speed vehicles (LSVs), targeting campuses, coastal towns, and neighborhoods where short trips dominate. Bintelli’s pitch is straightforward: approachable pricing, practical features (storage, USBs, lighting that works), and a dealer network that stocks spares and answers phones. The scooters use proven CVT platforms; the e-bikes lean on reliable drivetrains and batteries, with fit-and-finish that exceeds big-box offerings. By investing in documentation, assembly QC, and post-sale support, Bintelli turned skepticism about budget products into repeat customers who value uptime and low running costs. Historically, the company illustrates how a modern U.S. importer/manufacturer can add real value without owning an engine foundry: curate, verify, and stand behind the product. In an era when many brands chase specs, Bintelli focuses on ownership experience—easy starts, simple service, and vehicles that integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
