Life Electric Vehicles (LEV) Manufacturing plans to establish its primary U.S. assembly, logistics and fulfillment center in Algood, Tennessee, the company's first facility in the Volunteer State.
LEV Manufacturing, part of the Life EV Group, will convert a newly acquired 100,000-square-foot site into a central hub for the distribution and new assembly of Rad Power Bikes, Serial 1 Cycle and Life EV branded e-bikes products. It expects the $7 million investment to create 288 jobs.
The company said the Tennessee operations would support U.S. assembly and distribution starting this year, with plans to expand into the e-delivery segment.
The location will also play a role in supporting LEV Manufacturing's multi-brand platform and a U.S.-based manufacturing strategy, including partnerships with Tennessee’s research institutions to better support product innovation, battery technology, advanced manufacturing processes and workforce development initiatives.
Founded in 2018 in Deerfield Beach, Florida, LEV Manufacturing expanded its platform through the acquisition of Serial 1 Cycle Company, an electric bicycle brand originally developed by Harley-Davidson.
