(由1961年開始) 燦基電單車行由連家本先生於一九六一年創立,第一間門市位於旺角通菜街,以經營買賣及維修電單車為主。 Chun Kee Motorcycle Co. was established by Mr. LIN Ka Boon in 1961 at Tung Choi Street, Mongkok, which was a small shop selling and repairing motorcycles for individual users. |
1966年 通菜街門市遷至太平道,並發展分銷及代理電單車的業務。其亦擴充各類業務,包括售賣意大利的 LAMBRETTA 綿羊機車、代售保險及保養維修車隊等,主要客戶包括通隆冷氣維修公司。 Chun Kee has moved to Peace Avenue. It also became dealer and sub-dealer of motorcycles. It expanded various kinds of business, including selling Italian Scooter of LAMBRETTA, being insurance agent and offering services to motorcycle teams, etc. Main clients include Turning Air-conditioner Repairing Company. |
1967年 燦基開始經營教授駕駛技術,並出租車輛予初學者作考取車牌之用。由於經營宗旨是以出色的教授技巧,提供保養得宜的電單車,所以合格率極高而成為當時獨當一面的私人駕駛學院。 Chun Kee started to organize courses of motorcycle driving. It also provided motorcycles for rental for driving examinations. As its corporate mission was to provide motorcycles in good conditions with excellent teaching skills, the passing rate of driving examinations was very high. Chun Kee then became the top private school of motorcycle. |
1970S年代 香港正急速發展,大量初學者急需考取車牌,令電單車需求劇增。燦基藉此機會再次擴充業務,購入50台全新電單車以滿足市場,並以專業教授駕駛技術為口號,令燦基電單車行的業務邁向第一個高峰。 Hong Kong has been growing rapidly. Many motorcycle learners were eager to obtain driving license. Thus, the demand for motorcycle increased sharply. Chun Kee took this opportunity to expand its business. It purchased 50 units of brand new motorcycles to meet the demand of the market. It also emphasized teaching of professional motorcycle driving skills, which boosted up its business to a peak. |
1980S年代 80 年代中,政府將考核電單車牌照事務交由香港駕駛學院專辦,燦基電單車行亦將考牌車生意結束,轉移開拓內地電單車市場。 Mid-1980s Chun Kee closed the business of organizing courses and examinations for learners due to setting up of Hong Kong School of Motoring. It started to develop the market of motorcycle business in Mainland China. 1985年 燦基電單車行成功取得內地的提單免稅進口電單車入境合約,將其業務推向第二個高峰。當時每年經燦基進口內地的外國電單車數目有四萬台之多,當中包括本田、鈴木及雅馬哈之電單車。此龐大數字亦帶來大量零件的需求。燦基亦接有多張零件訂單,更藉此機會直接接觸世界第一大廠本田技研工業株式會社。在此期間,連先生的三位千金及公子:Ophelia、Arion及Ben亦相繼加入燦基,業務亦更加蒸蒸日上。 1985Chun Kee successfully obtained the contract of Tax-free Bill of Lading for Imported Motorcycle to Mainland China, which boosted up its business to another peak. About 40,000 units of motorcycles per year were re-exported to Mainland China from foreign countries via Chun Kee, including motorcycles of Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. The huge number of motorcycles in Mainland China needed a huge amount of spare parts. Chun Kee received many spare parts orders and it also gained an opportunity to directly contact the largest motorcycle company in the world – HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. During this period, Mr. Lin successively introduced his children, Ophelia, Arion and Ben, to his business, and it was running larger and larger. 1992年 燦基電單車行於10月29日註冊成為燦基電單車行有限公司。 1992Chun Kee Motorcycle Co. has registered as Chun Kee Motorcycle Co. Ltd. on 29th October. |
1993年 由於國內電單車駕駛者人數不斷增加,原藉潮州之連先生遂於粵東潮陽地區開設第一間本田原廠電單車維修中心。 1993Because of rising number of motorcycle riders in Mainland China, Mr. Lin, whose native place is Chao Chou, has set up the first Parts and Service Centre of Honda motorcycles in YueDong ChaoYang in Mainland China. |
1995年 第二間維修中心於汕頭成立。這個有6000平方呎的三合一維修中心 (銷售、零件、維修) 乃燦基自置物業,擁有30名專業電單車維修技師、零件及銷售人才,為當地用家提供優質服務。 1995 Another Parts and Service Centre was set up in Shantou, Guangdong. This is a 3 in 1 service centre (Sales, Parts, Service), which is Chun Kee’s property, with about 6000 square ft.
