About Voge
Country of Origin:

Founder:
Loncin Motor Co., Ltd. (premium sub-brand)

Company History
Voge is Loncin’s premium badge aimed at Europe and mature Asian markets. The strategy is clear: combine in-house engines with name-brand components—Nissin/BOSCH/ KYB—then wrap them in sharp styling and competitive electronics. Early models impressed new riders with planted chassis and tidy fueling; later updates brought TFT dashboards, ride-by-wire, and traction control on select models. Voge’s edge is value without feeling cheap: fasteners and castings show care, and dealer networks in Europe have invested in diagnostics and spares so ownership feels straightforward. As perceptions of Chinese motorcycles shift from budget to ‘value-plus’, Voge sits at the front—evidence that manufacturing scale and rising QA can deliver bikes that look and ride like established rivals while undercutting on price.
