Inokim is an Israel-based designer and manufacturer of high-end electric motorized scooters and bicycles. The company was formed in 2021 through the merger of China-based Ningbo MYWAY Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd and Israel-based Kfir-Nelly Holdings Ltd. which was the exclusive distributor of the Inokim brand worldwide.

History
In May 2009, Italian-Israeli industrial designer Nimrod Ricardo Sapir, filed a patent for a "Folding wheel mechanism for vehicle" after seeing the new brushless motor which was small enough to fit into a 10-inch wheel coupled with the new generation of lithium-ion batteries that offered longer battery life. In 2011, Nimrod partnered with Chinese aluminum manufacturer FutureWay to form MyWay which produced the first motorized electric scooter, the Quick. The Quick was named for its quick folding mechanism. At the same time, brothers Kfir and Dror Benshooshan, established Kfir-Nelly Holding, an electric bicycle importing business in Israel, which grew rapidly with the booming demand for e-bikes. In 2013, the Kfir Nelly Holdings became exclusive importers of the MyWay electric scooters to Israel.
