Vmoto is a small-capitalisation, ASX-listed, China-manufacturing designer and maker of electric two-wheelers (e-mopeds, e-scooters and light e-motorcycles). It sells through roughly 73 countries of distribution. Commercial delivery fleets in Europe are its anchor customers, and it is expanding into South-East Asia, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Between 2017 and 2023 its growth was built on manufacturing and internationally distributing the Super Soco range. After the 2023 settlement with Super Soco, Vmoto took 100% control of the Nanjing factory. In April 2024 it consolidated all product under the single Vmoto brand, with a "Vmoto Fleet" line for B2B. Management is repositioning the company from a hardware OEM into an "integrated e-mobility solutions provider". That model combines vehicles (sales, rental and financing), Energy-as-a-Service (fast-charging and battery-swapping stations) and Data-as-a-Service (IoT, fleet management and apps). Revenue fell from a record A$116.7m in FY2022 to A$46.8m in FY2025. Volumes recovered strongly in 1HY2026, with 12,713 units (up 140%). FY2026 revenue guidance is A$73.5–85m, but gross margins are sharply compressed and the business remains loss-making. --- ### What the company does Vmoto's principal activity, as stated in its filings, is the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of electric two-wheel vehicles (electric motorcycles and electric mopeds), fast-charging stations and battery-swapping stations (FY2025 Annual Report, section 5.1). The Group designs vehicles, often with external Italian design studios such as C-Creativ and Pininfarina. It manufactures them in its Nanjing facility, and distributes them through: - wholly or majority-owned distribution subsidiaries in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Thailand; - a network of independent importers and dealers in other countries; - direct B2B contracts with delivery, ride-share and fleet operators. ### Company's own description (paraphrased from the FY2025 Annual Report) The Managing Director's letter describes FY2025 as a transition year. In that year Vmoto continued to evolve from a traditional electric two-wheeler manufacturer into a global provider of integrated electric mobility solutions. Management says it repositioned the business toward fleet electrification and integrated B2B mobility, while European demand was hurt by reduced EV subsidies. Management describes a "full-stack" model that integrates vehicles, charging infrastructure, battery swapping, fleet software and financing. It sees that model as a differentiator as the sector moves from hardware sales to ecosystem-based offerings. The company identifies three customer segments: 1. B2B fleet operators, naming Domino's Pizza and Burger King; 2. B2B2C delivery riders, typically served via third-party logistics (3PL) providers; 3. retail consumers. ### Revenue model | Revenue stream | Description | Disclosure status | |---|---|---| | Vehicle sales (product) | Wholesale sales of e-motorcycles and e-mopeds to distributors, dealers and B2B fleets; retail via owned subsidiaries in some European markets | Dominant stream. Product versus service split is not separately disclosed. Revenue is recognised at a point in time on transfer of control. | | Parts and accessories | Spare parts and after-sales | Not separately disclosed | | Charging and battery-swap hardware | Fast-charging and battery-swapping stations supplied to invested companies and customers in Brazil, Spain, the UK, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE and Thailand | Not separately disclosed; immaterial to date | | Energy-as-a-Service | Pilot with dealers and customers (1HY2026) | Pilot stage; no revenue disclosed | | Data-as-a-Service | Smart IoT, fleet management system and apps | No revenue disclosed | | Rental and leasing | Supply, rental and lease of vehicles to Uber couriers in Europe and the UK, through Vmoto and supplier partners | No revenue disclosed | | Licensing / co-branding | MotoGP edition models (from 2026); historically a Ducati licensed edition (2019) | Not separately disclosed | | Other income (non-revenue) | Customer contributions (A$1.89m in 1HY2026), government subsidies (A$2.03m in FY2025; A$0.10m in 1HY2026), and rental of part of the Nanjing plant (A$0.21m in FY2025) | Disclosed in note 1.1 | **Independent characterisation.** Vmoto is essentially a contract-and-own-brand light-EV manufacturer whose economics resemble a mid-volume Chinese OEM exporting to Europe. More than 95% of economic value is still hardware. The "solutions" layer (Energy-as-a-Service, Data-as-a-Service and swapping) is strategically promising, because it creates recurring revenue and stickier fleet relationships. However, it is not yet a measurable revenue line. The B2B fleet pivot has lifted volumes but compressed unit economics: - revenue per unit fell from about A$3,720 in FY2025 to about A$2,810 in 1HY2026 (derived); - gross margin fell from 31.0% in FY2025 to 17.5% in 1HY2026. ### Value chain position | Value chain step | Vmoto role | |---|---| | Cell and battery pack, motors, controllers | Sourced from the Chinese supply chain. The company cites an "established, comprehensive supply chain" in China. | | Industrial design | In-house plus Italian studios (C-Creativ for Stash; Pininfarina "Air Performance Design" concept at EICMA 2022) | | Final assembly | Nanjing plant, now 100% owned. Complete-knock-down (CKD) assembly also takes place in Thailand and, via the JV, in Pakistan. | | Homologation and import | Group subsidiaries in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Thailand; third-party importers elsewhere | | Retail and fleet | Dealers (more than 50 active B2C dealers in the UK at the 2023 acquisition), direct B2B contracts, super-app partners (Uber, Grab) | | Energy and data services | Fast-charge and swap stations, IoT and fleet software (early stage) | ### End markets The core end market is urban light-EV two-wheelers in the L1e and L3e categories (50cc and 125cc equivalents) in Europe, especially last-mile delivery fleets. Expansion end markets are: - South-East Asia: Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam (via Lit Energy) and Indonesia; - South Asia: Pakistan and Bangladesh; - South America: Brazil, plus Mexico via the OMO JV; - the Middle East: Saudi Arabia and the UAE; - Africa: South Africa. Vmoto exited the Chinese domestic market in FY2025 because of aggressive price discounting.
