The cross-riding design of the emoped-HYHAWK combines the posture and comfort of a cruiser, and can be equipped with a sound wave simulator to mimic the roar of a motorcycle engine, aligning with young rider's desire for freedom and control.
Chinese innovations in EV and e-bike sectors also won approvals from global counterparts.
"I saw a lot of newest technologies from China in e-scooter and e-bike industries. Without Chinese innovations, we won't get so far in Germany because lots of our technology and cooperation with international companies are established in China," Yassine El Hajji, marketing manager of German e-scooter company Trittbrett, told Xinhua at the show.
China is strong in electric vehicle sectors, always keeping up with futuristic design and technologies, he noted.
XPENG AEROHT, a flying car company based in China's Guangdong province, showcased its revolutionary "Land Aircraft Carrier" modular flying car at the show.
The unique vehicle boasts a two-part design, seamlessly switching between terrestrial and aerial modes. The air module facilitates vertical takeoff for low-altitude flights, while the ground module ingeniously envelops the air module, allowing for ground transportation.
The flying car, located at the center of Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, attracted lots of exhibitors and show visitors.
A lot of Chinese robots are also on the show floor, ranging from service robots, kids accompanying robots to snow blowers and yard cleaners.
Yarbo, a Chinese courtyard robot company, showcased its AI-enhanced multipurpose intelligent yard robots. Paired with its modules, the yard robots are designed to meet multiple yard care needs such as snow removal, lawn mowing, leaf blowing, security patrol and universal tow hitch.
Top themes of CES 2024 include AI, mobility, sustainability and innovations to solve some of the world's biggest challenges. A series of panels are held on the sidelines of the show to address the opportunities and challenges of new technologies.
