The brand was founded on January 24, 2022 in a merger between Maple and Lifan Technology.
In 2022, after Lifan Group was acquired by Geely Holding Group, Geely reconsolidated and merged its previous subsidiary, Maple (Maple Automobile Co., Ltd.) brand into the Livan brand, thus making Maple quit the market as independent brand and become a model name under the Livan brand.
