The establishment of an assembly line in Serbia enables "Made in Serbia" labeling for the CSM-01 e-bicycle. LOBO EV will manufacture and assemble the majority of the parts in China, ensuring the quality and reliability of the e-bicycles before they are exported to Serbia for final assembly. Additionally, the Serbian facility will offer ongoing maintenance services to customers, further emphasizing the commitment of both companies to customer satisfaction and after-sales support.

The European e-bicycle market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass $8.1 billion by 2030, according to Data Bridge Market Research.
