Okawa Motor Technology Co. Ltd from China is gearing up to open in Portugal its first e-bike motor assembly line in Europe. With a high level of automation, the assembly line is being built and will be shipped to Anadia, Portugal, where production is expected to commence early 2025, according to Bike Europe.

Anadia was selected as location due to the close proximity of several big e-bike assemblers.

Okawa Motor Technology Co. Ltd has been on the market in Europe for approximately three years. The company was originally founded by Luca Du in 2020 out of Yadea, China’s biggest producer of electric two wheelers, which still holds a small share in the company.
