Post-Exhibition Reflections on the 2026 Shanghai Show

The grand 2026 China International Bicycle Exhibition (Shanghai) has concluded successfully. As one of the world’s three premier specialized bicycle trade shows, this event brought together over 1,600 exhibitors and more than 200,000 industry professionals, comprehensively showcasing cutting-edge trends and innovative achievements in the two-wheeled vehicle sector, while providing an outstanding platform for technical exchange and business matchmaking.

Today, Shenzhen Jiankun Sports Equipment Co., Ltd. held a post‑exhibition sharing session, bringing together all participants to review their experiences at the trade show, exchange insights gained, and build consensus while exploring future directions. In light of our company’s core business—two‑wheel vehicle drive systems—and drawing on the contributions of all attendees, we have summarized the key takeaways as follows:

I. Electrification has become the industry’s core trend, creating expanded opportunities for drive systems. This year’s Shanghai show sent a clear signal: the two-wheeler sector is accelerating its transition to electrification, with electric bicycles and e‑bikes emerging as the exhibition’s central product categories, commanding substantial exhibit space—aligning closely with the global shift in the two-wheeler drivetrain market toward electrification. Supported by government policies promoting green mobility and growing consumer demand for convenient travel, market demand for electric two-wheelers continues to surge. As the drive system serves as the core powertrain component of electric two-wheelers, directly determining vehicle performance, range, and riding experience, its market demand is experiencing explosive growth, offering our company vast opportunities to deepen our presence in the two-wheeler drive‑system segment.

II. Upgrading and Iterating Traditional Two-Wheelers: Demand for Lightweight, Convenient Designs Drives Optimization of Drive Systems. As evidenced at the exhibition, traditional bicycles have not disappeared from the market; instead, driven by evolving consumer preferences, they are rapidly advancing toward greater convenience and lighter weight, with the use of lightweight composite materials such as carbon fiber becoming increasingly widespread. This trend places higher demands on two-wheeler drive systems: while ensuring stable power delivery, it calls for further refinement of product architecture and the adoption of lightweight materials to achieve miniaturization and weight reduction, aligning seamlessly with the vehicle’s overall goals of lightness and ease of use. At the same time, transmission efficiency must be enhanced to meet industry regulatory standards and deliver an improved user experience.

III. The pace of smart‑connected E‑BIKE iterations is accelerating, driving the propulsion system toward greater intelligence and integration. At this year’s exhibition, innovations in the E‑BIKE sector were particularly striking: smart connectivity has become a central battleground for industry competition, moving beyond basic electrification to evolve into end‑to‑end, all‑scenario solutions that integrate the bike, a dedicated app, and intelligent management systems. Features such as AI‑powered gear shifting, V2X vehicle‑to‑everything connectivity, OTA over‑the‑air updates, and real‑time power adjustment are now widely incorporated into new E‑BIKE models. This trend demands that the propulsion system transcend its traditional role as a mere “power‑output component” and transform into an “intelligent power brain,” deeply integrating electronic control, sensor technology, and data‑transmission systems to enable seamless collaboration with the vehicle’s overall smart ecosystem. By delivering precise power regulation and real‑time status monitoring, these advancements enhance the riding experience in terms of intelligence, convenience, and safety—providing a clear strategic direction for our company’s R&D efforts in propulsion systems.

This Shanghai exhibition not only provided us with a clear, firsthand understanding of the three core trends shaping the industry’s development but also underscored that two-wheeler drive systems—key enablers of industry upgrading—are confronting unprecedented opportunities and technological challenges. Moving forward, our company will seize this event as an opportunity to build on our technological strengths, align closely with the three major trends of electrification, lightweighting, and intelligentization, and focus on driving system innovation and product optimization. By precisely addressing market needs, we aim to support the high‑quality growth of the two‑wheeler sector, gain a competitive edge in this era of transformation, and achieve breakthroughs.
