China-first consumer channel. Export, warranty, and language support are open questions for other regions.
Entry price is real-ish as a headline. Ultra is a different object. None of the tiers replace a care worker.
Lite / Pro / Ultra sit on this URL as one model family; Pro is canonical. Walker S2 is a separate industrial line, not a U1 generation.
