About Mearth
Mearth Electric Scooters or in a more technical name, Mearth Technology Pty. Ltd., is an Australian micro mobility company based in Sydney, Australia that focuses on the creation, innovation and development of electric scooters.
Founded by Ming Ye, a 1st generation Australian citizen who graduated Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Sydney (USYD) in Australia, Mearth was the dream he built to life. The ideation of Mearth began in 2015 and just the year after an electric scooter prototype was made in March 2016, and by October of the same year, the MarkII had been completed. The year after, in 2017, Mearth the company was officially born and registered. It was also in February of 2017, a manufacturable e-scooter was completed.
And since 2017, up until today, endless enhancements and improvements are constantly made by Team Mearth to ensure its commitment to innovation and its loyalty to its patrons that Mearth only provides the best, the most premium, first-class e-scooters. And because the company strongly believes in using high-quality materials for its electric scooters, they guarantee total performance, incredible durability and reliability and of course long-lastingness.
From Humble yet Awesome Beginnings
The year 2017 all the way to 2020 was the humble beginning of Mearth. In January 2018, a second-gen Mearth e-scooter was launched and it was then that Mearth joined Incubate, an award-winning startup program at the University of Sydney. According to the program, Mearth had generated over $115,000 in revenue and shipped 210 units in less than three months. This was the start of an awesome adventure.
The Mearth X Series
In February 2019, Mearth launched their first Mearth X Series e-scooter and later that year, they introduced the Mearth X Pro. During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, Mearth donated dozens of Mearth X and Mearth X Pro electric scooters to NSW healthcare workers to help ease their commute. The e-scooters were distributed in hospitals like Macquarie University Hospital, Meditech Staffing, Mater Hospital Sydney, Royal North Shore and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
In January 2021, Mearth released an upgraded Mearth X Pro. By March, Mearth had been recognised as a best-selling e-scooter brand by over 30 Australian stockists.
In September 2020, Mearth released a new line of electric scooters called the Mearth S, meaning simple. It is the entry-level electric scooter featuring Mearth S and S Pro electric scooters.
The all-new Mearth S Series brought more wonders to the company and from here, Mearth was determined to focus more on innovating on this line, deciding to completely remove the X Series exactly the year in September 2021.
Start of Something New
In the same year Mearth S series was born, just a few months followed and Mearth introduced their flagship off-road electric scooter line in December 2020. This brand-new electric scooter was named the Mearth GTS Series, which featured the Mearth GTS and GTS MAX.
In July 2021, Mearth began the initial development of the ultimate long-range e-scooter that is now known as the Mearth RS, carrying two (2) models under it: the Mearth RS and RS Pro. It was later officially launched in September of the same year.
