What Bintelli does
Bintelli is a privately-held American electric vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Ladson, South Carolina, founded in 2000 by Justin Jackrel. The company designs, assembles, and distributes street-legal low-speed vehicles (LSVs), electric bicycles, and gas mopeds through a network of over 250 authorized dealers across the United States. Its flagship LSV product lines, the Bintelli Beyond and the Bintelli Nexus Gen2, are 4- and 6-seater electric golf carts with 25 mph top speeds, 30-40 mile ranges, lithium battery standard configuration, and full street-legal safety equipment (headlights, brake lights, turn signals, seat belts, mirrors). The e-bike portfolio spans commuter, cruiser, and trike formats (Fusion Hybrid, Florence, Journey, Trend, Trio), and the gas moped line covers 49cc and 150cc models (Beast, Flash, Scorch) at $1,799-$2,299 starting prices.
Bintelli operates the largest LSV assembly facility in the United States (175,000 sq ft in Charleston, SC, opened 2023) and has announced a $4M+ satellite assembly and distribution facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana, with logistics partner Mister P Express. The business model is wholesale-first: Bintelli sells inventory to dealers under a turnkey program that includes lead generation, premade marketing materials, and consumer financing through Sheffield Financial plus dealer floor plan financing through Northpoint Commercial Finance. Direct retail is limited to a small e-bike storefront in Charleston, SC. End customers are residential consumers in planned communities, neighborhoods, and urban environments seeking street-legal, low-cost alternative transportation.
Differentiators include standard lithium batteries on all models, 4-year limited warranty, the largest parts inventory in the category (>$1M), industry-leading depth of standard features (no hidden upgrade costs), and significant recurring industry recognition including six consecutive Inc. 5000 honors and the 2026 Green Car Journal Neighborhood Green Car of the Year award. The founder remains in his role as President, the company is unencumbered by institutional capital, and growth has been funded internally; recent history shows 38.5% (2024) and 106.6% (2023) revenue growth per the SC 50 Fastest Growing Companies rankings.
