According to CCTV , since the beginning of this year, there has been a surge in orders from U.S. consumers for China-made electric tricycles on various e-commerce platforms, some of which are customized and shipped to the U.S. by sea. International shopping platform Amazon revealed that the price of the “three-wheeler” has soared to between $7,000 and $12,000 USD, nearly six to seven times its original value.
