As for the reason for the removal, the official customer service of Yadi and No.9 responded to Jiupai Finance reporter, "Due to the recent strong demand for some electric bicycle models, online inventory is temporarily unable to meet the order timeliness requirements. To avoid delaying your experience, online orders are not supported for the time being. It is recommended that you go to the nearest offline store to purchase."
In this regard, reporters from Jiupai Finance asked Yadi and No. 9, but no response was received as of press time.
Jiupai Finance reporters learned from relevant offline stores that currently all old electric bicycles are basically in stock, but have been gradually discontinued.

Factories across the country will stop producing previous models. Once the inventory is sold out, they will be gone and all will start producing the new national standard.
