A business owner pioneered the milling revolution with electric scooter-powered operations in northwestern China.

The video was filmed in Wuzhong City in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on January 10.

A traditional flour mill has garnered attention by using an electric scooter to grind flour.

Mr. Liu, the owner of the mill, reminisces about his childhood when he enjoyed flour milled by stone mills, claiming it to be tastier than the modern machine-ground alternatives. He emphasises the benefits of stone grinding, citing its ability to incorporate a variety of grains for a healthier and greener end product.

Traditionally, animals like donkeys or cows were employed to turn the stone mills. However, with the challenges of feeding and maintaining these animals, Liu turned to a novel solution — using electric scooter to power the mill.

The scooter, serving as a replacement for traditional animal labor, can work for 5 hours on a single charge, grinding 40 kilograms of flour in just one hour.

Mr. Liu markets the freshly ground flour on online shopping platforms, and it has gained popularity among consumers who appreciate the traditional and eco-friendly approach to milling.

近日，宁夏吴忠市，一磨坊用两轮电动车拉磨磨面引发关注。磨坊老板刘先生表示，自己小时候就是吃用石磨磨出的面，比用现代化机器磨出的面要好吃，而且可以结合各种五谷一块儿磨，更绿色健康。以前是用驴或者牛拉石磨，现在喂养牲口需要备草料、场地等很不容易，他便想起来用两轮电动车来拉磨。用电动车充当电驴，充好电一次能工作5小时，1小时能磨40斤。他把磨出的面放在购物平台上销售，也很受大家欢迎。
