Who or What is Ouxi?

Ouxi is a brand established in 2010 and initially known for producing hoverboards and two-wheeled electric scooters. Since 2019, Ouxi has focused on the electric bike market. The brand is owned by Shenzhen HTOMT Technology Co., Ltd., based in Shenzhen, China. Ouxi’s mission is to provide urban commuters with effective and adventurous e-bikes at affordable costs, aiming to create a clean and accessible future for personal mobility.

What Makes Ouxi Fatbikes Good or Unique?

What is unique about Ouxi is their purchase price. They fall into the lowest price segment, although Ouxi also offers some higher-performance models that are slightly more expensive. The problem with this brand is that there is no real contact person behind it…. the products come straight from the factory and are shipped in bulk.

Finding a (real) contact person, address, or email for Ouxi has been difficult for us. If you encounter problems with your cheap fat bike… you might have to resolve them yourself, or so it seems. Many users report issues with build quality, such as poorly fitting parts and faulty brakes. The provided tools and instructions are often rated as inadequate.

These faceless fatbike brands are also often cited as a market problem. They are easy to drive up in price, break quickly, and are built with cost (and certainly not quality) in mind. After a few years of use, you are mainly left with a lot of waste. This brand is also frequently used as an example of a model that ‘ruins the market’ or ‘drives unfair competition’. There is also some discussion about the anti-dumping legislation.
