Overview
The Yadea Ruibin 2025 is positioned as an entry-to-mid-level electric scooter in Sri Lanka, designed primarily for cost-conscious urban commuters. Imported and backed by Abans Auto, it targets riders seeking relief from rising fuel costs. With its compact design and Graphene battery technology, the Ruibin aims to offer a balance between daily utility and long-term savings, competing against entry-level petrol scooters (based on price and usage patterns reported by local buyers) and other electric scooters in a similar price range, such as the Yadea T5 and E8S, according to market listings. Real-world usage typically sits slightly below the Eco-mode estimate due to traffic patterns, rider weight, and terrain

Pros
The running cost is significantly lower than petrol alternatives, with owners estimating a cost of less than Rs. 1 per kilometer.Manufacturers claim the Graphene battery technology offers a longer lifespan and better cold-weather performance than standard lead-acid batteries.The model is backed by the Abans service network, which offers better warranty support and parts availability than grey-market electric imports.Owners appreciate the silent operation, saying it creates a smoother and vibration-free riding experience.
Cons
Top speed is limited to roughly 45 km/h, which may feel inadequate on main roads where faster traffic frequently overtakes.The 6–8 hour charging time requires disciplined overnight charging; it lacks the fast-charging capabilities of premium electric motorcycles.Riders say the 800W motor struggles on gradients steeper than 9–10 degrees, especially when carrying a pillion.Resale value for electric scooters in Sri Lanka is still uncertain compared to established Japanese petrol bikes.Driver Insights
