New Market Focus

The U.S. initiative will focus on outdoor smart sports equipment, wearable robotics, and mobility solutions.

Webus said planned offerings aim to improve performance, safety, and independence across activities such as hiking, skiing, travel, and adventure sports.

The company said these technologies are designed to operate reliably in unpredictable outdoor settings.

Officials said Webus will emphasize U.S.-led product concepts that reflect local user preferences.

The strategy also includes global manufacturing execution to balance cost efficiency and scalability.
