The story
Aeon Motor Co., Ltd. (commonly known as Aeon) was founded in 1998.
It is a Taiwanese manufacturer of scooters, quad bikes, all‑terrain vehicles (ATVs/UTVs), motorcycles, and electric vehicles.
Operating under the brand name “Aeon Motor,” the company focuses mainly on producing and selling ATVs and motorcycles, with exports primarily to Europe and the Americas.
The company’s origins date back to 1970, when Zhong Jinsheng founded Kuan Mei Plastics Co., Ltd., initially engaged in plastic injection molding.
Starting in 1982, production gradually shifted toward plastic components for motorcycles.
In 1998, anticipating growth in the motorcycle industry, the company established Aeon Industry Co., Ltd., dedicated to manufacturing and selling motorcycles, quad bikes, and off‑road vehicles.
In December 2003, Aeon Motor Co., Ltd. was established, taking over the production lines and commercial operations of Aeon Industry.
Aeon also became an ODM/OEM supplier for Polaris Industries, one of the world’s leading ATV manufacturers, making it one of the few Taiwanese companies active in ATV production.
