From May 5 to 8, 2026, the 34th China Cycle Show took place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Bafang made a commanding appearance with its full-scenario eBike drive systems and revolutionary electronic shifting gear hub, spanning urban commuting, mountain exploration and cargo hauling. The showcase infused the event with the technical philosophy of “Rider-eBike-Road in One”, fully embodying a product ethos where the bike reads the road and the system adapts to the rider.
Among the exhibits, the M560 mountain system demonstrated formidable strength in conquering steep terrain with a peak torque of 150 Nm. Paired with the DP C030 display seamlessly integrated into the top tube, its potent core was expressed through a restrained aesthetic.
The lightweight H730 automatic 3-speed hub motor delivered natural, seamless gear transitions between start-up and high-speed cruising, completely free of any jarring sensation.
The M410 mid-drive, matched with a new 5-speed electronic shifting gear hub, navigated diverse and complex road conditions with poised agility, revealing a true all-rounder character.
Making its debut, the H650 system exhibited a composed and balanced personality, thanks to its kilowatt-level silent output and a landscape display that presents all ride information at a single glance.
The most groundbreaking exhibit was undeniably the newest member of the GVT family — the RG E510 auto/manual 5-speed electronic shifting gear hub.
Embedded with a 6-axis gyroscope and intelligent algorithms, it works in close concert with the mid-drive motor to automatically pre-downshift before an uphill, upshift smoothly on descents, and quietly return to the ideal gear when pulling away from a standstill — all with silky continuity. Riders can also intervene manually for millisecond-level shifting response. This terrain-sensing awareness adds a new dimension to the eBike, as if it genuinely understands you.
Notably, Bafang’s soon-to-be-launched H800 rear-drive thru-axle motor was honored with the 2026 CHINA CYCLE Innovation Award. Housed in a magnesium alloy shell that encloses a meticulously compact drivetrain, it weighs less than 1.4 kg and can be subtly concealed behind the disc rotor and cassette. Its thru-axle quick-release design is compatible with mainstream road bike dropout standards, enabling non-destructive conversion while preserving frame rigidity — striking an exquisite balance between lightweight agility and high efficiency.
Looking at the broader picture, as the global two-wheeler market grapples with demand fragmentation and cost pressures, China’s mature supply chain is laying a trustworthy innovation foundation. Today, backed by over 370 core patents and 12 global service points, Bafang continues to deliver drive solutions that are safe, durable, and intelligently responsive.
Moving from co-building capacity to co-creating premium products, this supply chain acts as an enabler, delivering enduring value around the world — giving enterprises stronger support and returning to consumers better, more diverse, and more groundbreaking choices. This is the sincerest salute that China’s intelligent manufacturing offers to the two-wheeler market.
