The Hidden Costs of Low-Quality Imitations: Why Freego Stands Firm on Quality

Since Freego entered the electric bicycle and scooter industry in 2012, we’ve faced a persistent and frustrating challenge: the influx of low-cost, low-quality imitations in both the U.S. and European markets. These knockoffs mimic the design and features of high-end electric bicycles and scooters but are sold at significantly lower prices than our premium models.

The Problem with Low-Quality Imitations

These imitations typically come from small, unbranded companies with no intention of staying in the industry long-term. They use substandard components—like batteries, motors, controllers, and frames—that fall short of the quality standards we set for our electric bicycles. This allows them to sell their products at rock-bottom prices, sometimes as low as half or even a third of what our high-quality electric bikes and scooters cost.


Many consumers, especially those shopping online, struggle to distinguish between high-quality products and these low-cost imitations based solely on photos or descriptions. As a result, they often end up with a product that underperforms, compromises safety, and fails to last, which tarnishes the reputation of the entire electric bicycle industry.

The Real Cost of Cutting Corners

The reason these companies can offer such low prices is simple—they cut corners at every step. They opt for the cheapest components available, which are far below the standards we uphold for our electric bicycles and scooters. They also eliminate key features that ensure safety and durability, making their products more prone to failure and even posing safety risks to riders.

Moreover, these companies are not committed to building a sustainable business. They might offer a one-year warranty, but it often proves meaningless when issues arise, leaving customers without support or replacement options once the company shuts down or rebrands.

Why Freego Refuses to Compromise?

At Freego, our commitment to quality is unwavering. After 12 years in the electric bicycle and scooter industry, we understand that quality is non-negotiable. While we could easily reduce costs by lowering our standards, we choose not to. Our dedication to quality is not just about staying competitive; it’s about maintaining the integrity of our brand and ensuring long-term growth.

We have established strong partnerships with top suppliers, allowing us to source premium components at competitive prices. However, because we insist on using high-quality parts, our costs are naturally higher. We will never compromise on crucial elements like durable frames, powerful motors, long-lasting batteries, and reliable controllers.

If we used the same low-grade components as these imitators, we could match or even undercut their prices—but that would mean sacrificing the core values that Freego stands for. We’re focused on the future, and we want Freego to be a trusted name in personal transportation for the next 50, even 100 years.

Our Commitment to You

When you buy a Freego product, you’re investing in over a decade of commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. We back every product with at least a two-year warranty, a five-year parts replacement service, and more than ten years of online technical support.

For us, this isn’t just a business—it’s our mission, our life’s work. While others may view this industry as a quick profit opportunity, we see it as our calling. That’s why we’ll never cut corners, and why Freego will always represent quality, integrity, and sustainability.
