Reflections on the 2026 Shanghai Exhibition
Time: 2026-05-18
The grand 2026 China International Bicycle Exhibition (Shanghai Exhibition) has come to a successful conclusion. As one of the world's three top professional bicycle exhibitions, this event gathered more than 1,600 exhibitors and over 200,000 industry merchants from around the world, comprehensively showcasing the cutting-edge trends and innovative achievements of the two-wheeler industry, and building an excellent platform for technical exchange and business docking for practitioners. Today, Shenzhen Jiankun Sports Equipment Co., Ltd. specially held a post-exhibition sharing meeting, organizing all participating members to review the exhibition experience, exchange insights, gather consensus and explore development directions. Combined with our company's core business — two-wheeler drive systems, and based on the sharing of all members, the core insights are summarized as follows:
1. Electrification has become the core trend of the industry, bringing expansion opportunities for drive systems. The 2026 Shanghai Exhibition clearly sent a signal: the two-wheeler industry is accelerating its transformation towards electrification. Electric bicycles and electric assist bicycles (E-BIKE) have become the core exhibition categories, occupying a large amount of exhibition area resources, which is highly consistent with the global trend of the two-wheeler transmission system market tilting towards electrification. With the support of government policies on green travel and the improvement of consumers' demand for convenient travel, the market demand for electric two-wheelers continues to rise. As the core power component of electric two-wheelers, the drive system directly determines the performance, cruising range and riding experience of the vehicle, and its market demand has also ushered in explosive growth, providing a broad market space for our company to deepen the field of two-wheeler drive systems.
2. Traditional two-wheelers are upgrading and iterating, and the demand for lightweight and convenience forces the optimization of drive systems. It can be seen from the exhibition that traditional bicycles have not withdrawn from the market. On the contrary, driven by the upgrading of consumer demand, they are rapidly upgrading towards more convenient and lightweight directions, and the application of lightweight composite materials such as carbon fiber is becoming more and more widespread. This trend puts forward higher requirements for two-wheeler drive systems — on the premise of ensuring stable power output, it is necessary to further optimize the product structure, adopt lightweight materials, realize the miniaturization and lightweight of the drive system, adapt to the lightweight and convenient needs of the whole vehicle, and at the same time improve the transmission efficiency to meet industry regulatory standards and consumer use experience.
3. The iteration of E-BIKE intelligent interconnection is accelerating, and the drive system is upgrading towards intelligence and integration. In this exhibition, the innovative achievements in the E-BIKE field are particularly eye-catching. Intelligent interconnection has become the core track of industry competition, which is no longer limited to basic electrification, but upgraded to a full-scenario solution of "vehicle + App + intelligent management". Functions such as AI intelligent variable speed, V2X Internet of Vehicles technology, OTA remote upgrade and real-time power adjustment have been widely applied to new E-BIKE products. This requires the drive system to transform from a simple "power output component" to an "intelligent power brain", which needs to be deeply integrated with electronic control, sensors, data transmission and other technologies to achieve coordinated linkage with the vehicle's intelligent system. Through precise power adjustment and real-time status monitoring, the intelligence, convenience and safety of riding are improved, which also points out the core direction for the technical research and development of our company's drive system.
The 2026 Shanghai Exhibition not only allowed us to intuitively insight into the three core trends of the industry's development, but also made us clearly realize that as the core support for the industry's upgrading, the two-wheeler drive system is facing unprecedented development opportunities and technical challenges. In the future, taking this exhibition as an opportunity, our company will rely on its own technical advantages, closely follow the three major trends of electrification, lightweight and intelligence, focus on the technological innovation and product optimization of drive systems, accurately meet market demand, help the high-quality development of the two-wheeler industry, and seize opportunities and achieve breakthroughs in the industry transformation.
