Company History
Tao Motor sells at the entry edge of pricing, making first vehicles possible for families and small fleets. The trade-off is that dealer prep and ongoing support determine outcomes: with proper PDI and spares, machines deliver cheap, useful miles; without, owners face teething issues. Over time, electrics, braking, and coatings improved, while parts availability remained a core strength. Historically, Tao Motor illustrates scale at the value end: when components and guidance are on hand, millions of riders get moving at the lowest upfront cost.
