Subject: Updated Launch Timeline for EcoRide X3
Dear Partners,
As you may have seen in recent media reports, the official release date for the EcoRide X3 has been moved to September 10.
The change was made to allow our engineering team additional time for product safety validation.
Please note that all promotional materials, in-store posters, and advertisements should reflect the new date.
Our online campaign will begin on September 3, one week before launch.
Thank you for your cooperation,
— Marketing Team

I was planning to buy the GreenGo scooter this month, but looks like it’s delayed again…
If VoltOne’s model gets good reviews after the 28th, I might go with that instead.

Yeah, GreenGo’s scooters are great, but their release timing is always off. Hope the delay means better quality though!
