Hangzhou Consumer Unable to Register Tailg King MAX Electric Motorcycle Due to Motor-Certificate Mismatch; 680 Units in Involved Batch Penalized

In April 2026, Mr. Yan of Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, spent more than 7,000 yuan at a local Taile official flagship store to purchase a Taile King MAX electric motorcycle. During inspection at the vehicle management office, it was found that the motor brand indicated on the vehicle conformity certificate was Quanshun, while the motor label on the actual vehicle was Jinyuxing. The discrepancy led to the vehicle being classified as modified and unable to be registered. In September 2026, the Market Supervision Administration of Xishan District, Wuxi City, issued an administrative penalty against Taile Technology Co., Ltd., determining that the party had replaced the electric motors of the vehicles involved without applying to the certification body for a change to the certification certificate. A total of 680 vehicles were involved, priced at 4,049 yuan each, with a total value of more than 2.75 million yuan, and a fine of 15,000 yuan was ultimately imposed. The batch of vehicles published on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology website had the problem of mismatch between the motor and the actual assembly from the time they left the factory. The Taile King MAX is equipped with a polar strong-magnetic motor, with a peak power of 4,000W and a rated power of 2,000W. It uses a 12-inch hub motor, has a maximum torque of 140N·m and a top speed of 75km/h, and is equipped with a 72V35AH lead-acid battery. After contacting the manufacturer, Mr. Yan was told to contact the seller; the seller proposed replacing the motor or giving away riding apparel, which Mr. Yan refused. His demand was a full refund for the vehicle or a refund of half the purchase price as compensation. The seller at the flagship store involved said that returning the vehicle required contacting the factory, and the company had proposed giving 1,000 yuan to find someone to help with registration, which Mr. Yan did not agree to. After calling the Taile official hotline, customer service said the matter would be reported and a staff member would reply within 48 hours. As of the time of publication, no response from Taile had been received.
