There are three types in the lineup: GFX E, GFX P, and GFX U. Choose the one that best suits your needs.

The GFX lineup includes three models to suit your needs: GFX E, GFX P, and GFX U. While the GFX E and GFX P are 730mm wide, the compact GFX U is 695mm wide, making it easy to handle in narrow urban areas.

The GFX E and GFX P also have different top speeds, with the GFX U boasting a top speed of 25km/h, while the GFX U boasts a top speed of 32km/h, an increase of 7km/h.

The lightweight high-carbon steel frame can withstand a load of 180 kg and has undergone 400,000 vibration tests to prove its durability and hardness. Double-layered protection treatment also makes it highly corrosion-resistant.

The front and rear wheels are set to small diameter 12 inches. The use of magnesium alloy rims ensures strength, reduces weight, and improves driving stability. The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type, achieving stable braking force.

The front fork is a standard upright type with a dust cover, and the rear shock is a twin type combined with a swing arm.

The electric motor is built into the rear wheel. Its rated output is 1kW, with a maximum output of 1.2kW (1.4kW for the GFX U), making it easy to ride even for beginners. The removable lithium-ion battery installed under the seat has a capacity of 48V 24Ah. The electric motor and battery are both highly waterproof, with an IP67 rating and an IPX7 rating, respectively.

The GFX has introduced a “keyless unlock” system using a smartphone, eliminating the need to take out the key and insert it into the key cylinder. To unlock the vehicle, connect via Bluetooth and operate it with a smartphone that has the dedicated YADEA app installed. Or, you can just push the button on the handlebars.

The dedicated YADEA app provides various functions such as vehicle search via Bluetooth, disabling vehicle monitoring, battery monitoring, and automatic anti-theft settings. Convenience, security, and intelligence are all combined into one with the YADEA app.
