SMART BIKE Sdn. Bhd., the authorised AVETA dealer in Sabah, has officially unveiled the brand’s first-ever flagship AVETA Elite Centre at Kepayan Pintas Square. The opening marks a major milestone in AVETA’s mission to become Sabah’s leading motorcycle brand, while expanding its presence and enhancing thecustomer experience across East Malaysia.
Over the past few years, AVETA has seen steady growth, with a rising number of Malaysian riders choosing its range of motorcycles. Building on this momentum, the brand aims to deliver more than just innovative two-wheelers — it aspires to offer a complete ownership experience.
The new Elite Centre is a testament to that vision, designed as a one-stop destination featuring a full display of AVETA models, comprehensive aftersales service, and flagship-only privileges supported by trained advisors.
“Kota Kinabalu is the perfect home for AVETA’s first Elite Centre,” said Jordan Chang, Director of SMART BIKE Sdn. Bhd. “Sabah is AVETA’s strongest market, and our riders here are adventurous and passionate. This flagship outlet is our way of giving back — offering not just motorcycles, but a premium experience complete with top-notch facilities, exclusive models, and dedicated aftersales care. It’s more than a showroom — it’s a community hub where customers can truly experience the AVETA difference.”
During the event, guests witnessed the Malaysian debut of the Ranger Max Explorer Special Edition in Neon Green, showcased for the first time. The celebrations continued with a lucky draw that saw 31 attendees win exclusive AVETA merchandise, including branded t-shirts and full-face helmets. Visitors also enjoyed a special 20% discount on AVETA riding gear and helmets during the launch day.
Spanning 2,500 square feet, the AVETA Elite Centre houses a customer lounge, entertainment area, and dedicated displays for motorcycles and lifestyle merchandise. It also offers full aftersales services — from maintenance and spare parts to exclusive model access — reinforcing its role as a flagship destination for AVETA owners.
From a national perspective, Steven Lim, Group Managing Director of AVETA Malaysia, shared,
“Our mission has always been to redefine boundaries — to grow with our customers and serve them better. The opening of this Elite Centre in Kota Kinabalu is not only a proud achievement for Smart Bike and AVETA, but also a symbol of our strong commitment to East Malaysia as an integral part of our nationwide growth story.”
Established in 2015, SMART BIKE Sdn. Bhd. has become a well-recognised name in Sabah’s motorcycle industry, known for its efficient delivery, dedicated team, and customer-first approach. The company’s accolades include five consecutive Aeon Top Sales Merchant Awards, two Aeon Marvellous Merchant Awards, and a record-breaking RM39.5 million in sales revenue in 2024, with over 3,000 units sold in a single year.
The launch of the AVETA Elite Centre marks the beginning of a new chapter in the brand’s journey toward innovation, customer excellence, and nationwide growth. AVETA plans to establish more Elite Centres across Malaysia, ensuring every rider enjoys enhanced aftersales support and a seamless brand experience that reflects AVETA’s dedication to redefining mobility for Malaysian riders.
