Xingtai: Immersion at the Chinese Manufacturer of Carbon and Aluminum Bicycles

In Xingtai, a factory specializes in the production of carbon and aluminum bicycles, employing hundreds of people on a 10-hectare site. The bicycles, which include mechanical and electric models, are equipped with technology that allows them to be unlocked via a QR code and speed to be controlled from a smartphone. Although the bicycles are sold in China and Europe, Africa is not a targeted market without a clear explanation.
