Company History
Horwin targets European commuters with approachable EVs: quiet hub or mid-drive machines, removable batteries for apartment charging, and styling that reads modern without intimidation. The brand’s emphasis is everyday usability—ABS/CBS, bright lighting, weather-sealed connectors, and dealer networks that handle diagnostics and firmware. By balancing price with credible components and honest range communication, Horwin helped move e-motos from novelty to normal, especially for riders stepping up from e-bikes. Historically, it’s part of the wave that treats light EVs as appliances: reliable, clean, and easy to live with Monday through Friday.
