Ural Enters China

#1 Unread post by totalmotorcycle »

@Ural Enters #China

Earlier in October we signed distribution agreement with a company that will handle Ural sales in China. Ural China is launching this month and will begin certification process in December.
We are very excited about our new partner Yiqi Shao (he goes by Alex in the English speaking world). Alex is a sidecar enthusiast and is very energetic. He has been successful restoring and selling CJ sidecars in China as well as organizing sidecar adventure tours. Ilya went to China to meet with the crew of Yiqi Motorcycle Co. this past September and Alex visited our Redmond office in the following weeks. Below is the historic moment of signing distribution agreement that opens doors to one of the biggest markets in the world.


"Consumers in China are ready for a quality product. There is huge potential and we plan to waste not a moment to get the product to the market" - Alex.

Here's the showroom in Shanghai that's waiting for new Urals to arrive as soon as certification is completed in spring of 2014.



If you are interested in Ural tours in China or just want to connect with the distribution, feel free to drop them a line: alexyiqi@gmail.com


Dealer Meetings in Europe and Russia

European Dealer Meeting in Linz, Austria took place in the first days of November, followed by participation in the EICMA show in Milan.

Our Russian distributor held their first official Dealer Meeting in St. Petersburg earlier this month as well. Here are a couple of pictures from St. Petersburg:






AUSTRALIA: Ural Australia is displaying at the Sydney Motorcycle Show this weekend November 15-17th. We'll get you the photos and how it all went in the next issue of the Informer.

CANADA: Limited Edition Landed
Ural Canada just received their limited allocation of Ural Gaucho Rambler - only 8 units will be available for sale in Canada. We hear that at least a couple of them are pre-sold. Call your local dealer or the distributor to find out where there is one available.



Open House at Redmond HQ

It's been a while since we did an open house here in Redmond - the last one was about six years ago when we introduced 2007 upgrades. With 2014 models arriving here for the dealer meeting we'll have a chance to share the news with the local Ural riders and anyone who is eager to know the latest developments on the Ural front first hand.

Where: Our Redmond Office - 14700 NE 95th St, Suite 102, Redmond, WA 98052
When: December 14, Noon - 3pm'ish
What: First glance at 2014 models in flesh. Eats, Beer and Urals.

Everyone is welcome!

Mark your calendars and send RSVP to info@imz-ural.com by December 5th so we can plan beer and food. Bring your friends even if they don't ride Urals (yet) - we'll be happy to see anyone on two or three wheels.

PS: We got an orange couch and painted Ural on the wall in our office lobby - we are ready! :-)
