What Dyu Intelligent Mobility Technology does

Dyu Intelligent Mobility Technology (大鱼智行车) designs, manufactures, and sells lightweight, foldable smart lithium-electric bicycles. The company operates as the primary brand under Shenzhen-based parent F-Wheel (飞轮威尔, founded 2013); the DYU brand itself was launched in 2016 after a strategic pivot out of the balance-bike segment. The product portfolio spans five core series — D Series (flagship foldable), S Series (compact urban), V Series (European minimalist), L Series (智能 flagship with IoT), T Series (US commuter with torque sensor) — plus the King 750 all-terrain e-bike and FF500 compact model, priced from CNY 1,499 to CNY 3,799 in the Chinese domestic market.\n\nCore proprietary technology includes the fourth-generation DTST (DYu Smart Sensing Technology) pedal-assist system, which fuses gyroscope posture sensing with intelligent algorithms to identify terrain and modulate electric assist; the fifth-generation DYU Fish-Electric dual-BMS lithium battery management system with eight protection functions; an FOC vector controller; a GPS+Beidou+mobile-base-station triple-positioning anti-theft system; and HarmonyOS Connect integration enabling NFC 'tap to connect' pairing with Huawei smartphones. The company holds 80+ domestic and international patents and operates a Huizhou manufacturing facility with 500,000+ unit annual capacity.\n\nThe business model is predominantly hardware sales through a hybrid channel mix: direct-to-consumer e-commerce (Tmall, JD flagship stores, dyu.vip, Amazon, dyucycle.com), large-box retail partnerships (Costco US/Canada/UK/China, Sam's Club, Walmart, Carrefour, Auchan, Myer), and overseas distributor networks across more than 60 countries, with Europe accounting for over 50% of revenue. The company has shipped 500,000+ units globally (2022 figure) and claims 1M+ cumulative users. It raised a CNY 100 million Series A in January 2024 led by China Huirong Financial Holdings to fund team expansion, product innovation, and global market outreach.
