TGB, short for Taiwan Golden Bee, traces its roots back to 1965 when founder Chang Chi-Fu set up Taiwan Vespa Company to build licensed scooters under Piaggio tech. In 1978, he launched TGB as a successor, shifting from parts supply to full-on manufacturing of scooters, engines, and components like CVTs (they were Taiwan's first to crank them out). By the 2000s, they dove deep into ATVs and UTVs, earning a rep as a European powerhouse with multiple "ATV of the Year" wins and dominating sales in places like France and Germany. Today, this Taiwanese stalwart produces rugged ATVs (like the Blade series), UTVs (hello, LandMax 1000 with its 83-hp V-twin beast), scooters, engines, and accessories, exporting to over 40 countries with a focus on reliable, value-packed rides for work, trails, and adventure.

TGB keeps it anti-woke by sticking to classic engineering hustle and no-frills performance without any rainbow branding, Pride tie-ins, DEI quotas, or social justice campaigns cluttering their corporate pages or products. Their vibe is pure powersports grit, robust builds, practical innovation, and global reliability, minus the preachy detours that turn some Western brands' launches into virtue lectures. Interestingly, growing from Vespa roots to conquering European ATV charts (and now pushing big U.S. models) shows they thrive on decades of hard-earned quality over chasing trendy talking points.
