Cheetah - All Models

Company History

The Cheetah name has appeared on a number of budget scooters and small motorcycles across developing markets, typically attached to import programs that aggregate proven components into value-priced commuters. While the precise corporate lineage differs by country, the formula is familiar: an air-cooled single with CVT or simple gears, rugged steel frames, and bodywork styled after popular mainstream models. These machines populate delivery fleets, campuses, and suburban corridors where purchase price and running costs dominate decision-making. Over time, Cheetah-branded bikes benefited from the professionalization of Asia’s supplier network—better charging systems, improved plastics, and, in some cases, the migration to EFI to meet emissions rules. Documentation and parts catalogs, once a weakness, improved as distributors learned that aftersales support is the difference between a one-off sale and a lasting reputation. Historically, Cheetah illustrates how the long tail of global manufacturing expands mobility: riders who would otherwise rely on buses or second-hand machines can afford new, warrantied transport. The tradeoff—less prestige and sometimes rougher finish—is acceptable to owners who value getting to work every day over polishing chrome. Many who start on a Cheetah eventually move to higher-spec bikes, carrying with them a practical respect for simple engineering that just works.
