Outreach to Green Gardening Tools:

We are dedicated to providing innovative and environment-friendly solutions for modern garden care. We launched a series of handheld electric gardening tools in 2023, including lawnmowers, leaf blowers and hedge trimmers. All of these are designed to meet the market demand for efficient and eco-friendly gardening tools. The electrical design of these tools not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the noise and exhaust emissions significantly and thus produces a positive impact on the environment. Compared with traditional gasoline-powered tools, Rexon handheld electric lawnmowers significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. In comparison with traditional gasoline-powered lawnmowers, carbon emissions per hour can be reduced from 15.822 kgCO2 Note 1 to 0.594 kgCO2 Note 2. This is more compliant with the concept of sustainable development and can ensure the maximum utilization of energy. Electric leaf blowers can effectively remove fallen leaves and other garden waste while maintaining low energy consumption. Electric hedge trimmers are ideal trimming tools that make garden maintenance easier and more efficient. With these products, Rexon Industrial not only makes a technological breakthrough in the gardening tool field, but also demonstrates our firm commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. We believe that we can provide more premium products for customers and make a contribution to the protection of the earth through continuous innovation and investment in environmental technologies.

Note 1: The data on carbon emissions per hour of traditional gasoline-powered lawnmowers come from The Grasshopper Company.

Note 2: Calculation of carbon emissions from Rexon lawn mowers: The measured energy consumption for a full operation of one hour is 1.2 kW; the emission coefficient per 1,000 kWh announced by the Bureau of Energy in 2022 is 0.495.

Outreach to Development of Green Products, Electric Assisted Bikes and Motors in 2023:

With the rapid development of the technology, Rexon is dedicated to constantly exploring and applying the most advanced technologies to meet the changing market demand. In this digital transformation era, we understand very clearly that innovation and diversification are the keys to success. Therefore, we have actively expanded our business areas and launched a series of high-tech products in response to the changing challenges. The components such as the E-cargo electric assisted bikes, mid-mounted motors, and walking motor assemblies for grass protection robots represent our commitment and innovation to environmental protection, smart logistics, and garden tools. We are dedicated to providing a total solution and promote green development of green technologies and smart applications. These efforts not only lay a solid foundation for the development of the Company, but also bring a life style of more environmental friendliness and higher efficiency, and thus facilitate the sustainable development of the industry. We expect that these innovative products can create more possibilities for the future. We will continue to lead the trend of the technology and provide customers around the world with better product experiences.

Mid-mounted Motor for Electric Assisted Bikes:

The e-bike market in 2018 showed a steady annual growth of more than 10%. As the pandemic was mitigated, the people in Europe and the United States embraced outdoor recreational sports again in the second half of 2021. This and the raised awareness of environmental protection, the demand for E-bikes skyrocketed in these regions. To keep up with this trend, Rexon has expanded the E-bike business since 2021 and fully applied the existing BLDC motor and structure development technologies. We work with customers to develop the battery, motor and electric control system for the mid-mounted E-bike motor. The mass production is expected to start in 2024.

Motors for Grass Protection Robots:

Grass protection robot: As a pioneer in effectively meeting the needs for turf maintenance manpower in the future, Rexon works with the companies from different industries to expand the product line of our gardening tools and engage in the development of more gardening products. This collaboration not only brings Rexon new market opportunities, but also effectively improves the motor torque and rotational speed to meet customer needs. The trial mass production of the walking motors for grass protection robots was conducted in January 2023, and the mass production commenced in September of the same year after careful calibration and testing. The launch of this robot walking motor assembly represents the continuous innovation of Rexon in the field of garden tools in the hope to provide more efficient and reliable solutions for the market.

Electric Assisted Bike E-Cargo:

E-cargo Bikes are the ideal solution for green transportation on the last mile. They can effectively mitigate traffic jams in the city and improve traffic flow by providing a light-duty, green transportation alternative. This green transportation especially plays a key role in the urban environment and can solve the traffic problem on the last mile. Compared to traditional transportation, the E-Cargo Bike uses an electric motor that can reduce carbon emissions significantly and has a positive impact on the air quality of the city. This technological innovation not only provides the residents in the city with a more environment-friendly transportation option, but also plays an important role in the assurance of sustainable urban development. Through the application of E-Cargo Bike, we hope to jointly build a cleaner and more livable urban environment and lay a foundation for the green mobility in the future. The mass production of the E-Cargo Bike is expectedly to start in 2024.

Extension to UAV motors in 2023:

With the prosperous development of the commercial drone market and the multiple applications of drones in transportation/agriculture, Rexon moves to the development of small motors based on our long-term motor development and manufacturing technology. We started the research and development of commercial drone motors in June 2023 to provide the market with a reliable solution. The trial mass production was conducted in April 2024 to provide customers with different product applications. This also gives us a new business opportunity.
