Rayttle

Rayttle, also known in Chinese as 立通 and formally associated with Zhejiang Rayttle New Energy Motors, is a Chinese electric-vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The company was founded in September 2014 and focuses on low-speed electric vehicles, sometimes described as neighborhood electric vehicles. This category generally emphasizes compact dimensions, modest performance, simplified operation, and suitability for short-distance urban or community travel rather than high-speed highway use. Rayttle's first identified vehicle was the E28, introduced in 2016 and also referred to as the E18. The model was offered in E28Pro and E28Max versions, distinguishing the variants primarily through their electric-motor outputs. The E28 used a 9.9 kWh battery and was reported with a five-horsepower power rating and a range of approximately 75 miles. The E28Pro used a 3.5 kW motor, while the E28Max used a 4 kW motor. Reported dimensions were 2,650 mm long, 1,240 mm wide, and 1,510 mm high, with a wheelbase of 1,884 mm and a weight of about 600 kg. Its reported price was approximately ¥36,000. The E28's compact proportions and low-speed positioning placed it within the same broad mobility space as neighborhood electric vehicles and lightweight urban microcars. Reference material describes the vehicle as an unlicensed copy of the Renault Twizy, making the Twizy an important point of comparison in discussions of the model's design and market positioning. Rayttle's publicly documented product range is limited in the available reference material, which identifies one production vehicle rather than a broad portfolio of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, or premium electric models. Rayttle should therefore be understood as a specialized Chinese electric-mobility manufacturer rather than a mainstream global automobile group. Available information establishes its founding, location, initial product, technical specifications, and relationship to the low-speed electric-vehicle segment, but does not provide reliable evidence about later model introductions, current production status, ownership, executive leadership, overseas sales, financial performance, or a current official website. Those areas remain unconfirmed.

Rayttle, formally associated with Zhejiang Rayttle New Energy Motors and known in Chinese as 立通, was founded in September 2014 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The company entered the automotive market with a focus on low-speed electric vehicles and neighborhood electric vehicles. These vehicles occupy a niche between conventional passenger cars and very small personal mobility products, emphasizing compact packaging and short-distance travel. In 2016, Rayttle introduced its first documented vehicle, the E28, which is also identified as the E18 in reference material. The vehicle used a 9.9 kWh battery and was reported to provide about 75 miles of range. It had a five-horsepower rating and was marketed in at least two variants: the E28Pro, equipped with a 3.5 kW motor, and the E28Max, equipped with a 4 kW motor. Reported dimensions were 2,650 mm in length, 1,240 mm in width, and 1,510 mm in height. The car had a wheelbase of 1,884 mm and weighed approximately 600 kg. Its reported price was ¥36,000. The E28's design was described in reference material as an unlicensed copy of the Renault Twizy. This comparison situated Rayttle within a broader field of compact electric vehicles influenced by unconventional urban-mobility designs. The model's low power output, small footprint, and stated range were consistent with use in local transportation environments rather than conventional high-speed intercity driving. The available documentation identifies the E28 as Rayttle's production vehicle and does not establish a larger, independently verified model history. It also does not provide dependable information about subsequent product generations, corporate ownership, executive management, production volumes, financial results, international distribution, or the company's current operating condition. Consequently, the documented history of Rayttle remains centered on its 2014 founding, its Hangzhou base, and the 2016 introduction of the E28/E18 family.

  Rayttle E28Pro

  The E28Pro was a variant of Rayttle's E28/E18 compact electric vehicle. The available reference material distinguishes it from the E28Max by its 3.5 kW electric motor. Other published specifications are presented at the E28 family level, including the 9.9 kWh battery and approximately 75-mile stated range. No separate information about equipment, distribution, or later production status is established.

  Rayttle E28Max

  The E28Max was the higher-output variant identified within Rayttle's E28/E18 family. It used a 4 kW electric motor, compared with the 3.5 kW unit specified for the E28Pro. The available source does not provide a separately verified price, range, equipment list, or production timeline for the E28Max beyond its identification as one of the E28 family's versions.
