II. Insight into Industry Trends — Grasping Three Core Development Directions of the Two-Wheeler Industry
As the weathervane of the global two-wheeler industry, the Shanghai Expo highlights three major development trends: electrification, intelligence and lightweighting. These trends are highly aligned with Jiankun’s long-term R&D orientation and point out the development direction for the drive system sector.
1. Electrification (E-Bike) Becomes the Core Growth Engine, Ushering in Upgrading Opportunities for Drive Systems
Driven by the global boom in green travel and national fitness, E-bikes have evolved from a niche category into a core growth driver of the industry. Data from the China Bicycle Association shows that the E-bike market has maintained rapid growth in recent years, with surging demand in Europe, North America and other overseas markets, as well as steadily rising domestic market penetration.
In the wave of electrification, drive systems, as the power core of E-bikes, face upgrading demands for high torque, high efficiency and high compatibility. Traditional chain drives are upgraded for higher strength and load capacity; belt drives gain popularity in mid-to-high-end E-bikes for their silent performance and maintenance-free features. Dedicated E-bike cranksets and integrated transmission assemblies have become the focus of R&D, which need to withstand high motor torque while balancing lightweight design and energy efficiency, raising the technical threshold significantly. Having made early layout in this field, Jiankun devotes itself to the R&D of electric assist drive components to precisely meet industry upgrading needs and seize market opportunities.
2. Intelligence Penetrates the Whole Industrial Chain, Drive Systems Evolve Towards Intelligent Transmission
At this expo, intelligence has become the core theme covering complete vehicles, spare parts and cycling equipment. Equipped with smart sensors, automatic transmission systems, APP interconnection and riding data monitoring, two-wheelers are transforming from mechanical products into intelligent mobile terminals.
In the drive system sector, intelligent development focuses on three directions: intelligent shifting, adaptive transmission and data interconnection. Intelligent speed regulation transmission systems can automatically adjust the transmission ratio according to road conditions and pedaling force to optimize riding efficiency. Integrated intelligent transmission assemblies connect motors and controllers to achieve precise power output regulation. Meanwhile, drive components are reserved with data interfaces to support real-time synchronization of riding data and intelligent fault early warning, becoming standard configuration for high-end models. Keeping pace with the trend, Jiankun integrates intelligent design concepts into product R&D, explores integrated solutions of mechanical transmission and intelligent control, and empowers the intelligent upgrading of complete vehicles.
3. Lightweight & Green Development Become Consensus, Material Innovation and Process Upgrading Are Key
Promoted by the dual-carbon strategy, green manufacturing and lightweighting have become industry-wide consensus. The expo showcased 3D-printed titanium alloy frames, carbon fiber parts and lightweight alloy components, reflecting the industry’s ultimate pursuit of balancing rigidity and lightweight performance.
As the core load-bearing and transmission parts of complete vehicles, drive systems have an urgent need for lightweight upgrading. High-strength aluminum alloy and carbon fiber composite materials replace traditional steel, greatly reducing component weight while ensuring rigidity and strength, and improving riding flexibility. In addition, the popularization of green processes such as precision forging and one-piece molding cuts production losses and conforms to environmental protection trends. Adhering to the R&D philosophy of lightweight plus high rigidity, Jiankun optimizes product structural design and adopts eco-friendly production processes to achieve dual breakthroughs in product performance and green low-carbon development.
III. Rooted in the Shanghai Expo — Jiankun Embarks on a New Journey with Global Partners
The 2026 Shanghai International Bicycle Expo serves not only as a display platform for industry technologies and products, but also an important arena for global enterprises to communicate, cooperate and seek common development. During the exhibition, relying on our full range of high-quality products, cutting-edge technological concepts and professional service team, Jiankun attracted vehicle manufacturers, distributors and industry partners from all over the world. We conducted in-depth exchanges on technical cooperation, product customization and market expansion, reaching multiple cooperation intentions with fruitful results.
Looking ahead, the two-wheeler industry is in a golden period of accelerated technological innovation, expanding market demand and deepening global integration. Taking this expo as an opportunity, Jiankun Sports Equipment will continue to deepen its layout in chain drive, belt drive and electric assist drive. Adhering to technological innovation as the core, quality control as the foundation, and customer demand as the orientation, we will continuously increase R&D investment, optimize the product portfolio, strengthen manufacturing capacity, and create more efficient, intelligent and lightweight drive system solutions.
Meanwhile, Jiankun will actively embrace industry changes, follow the trends of electrification, intelligence and lightweighting, and deepen win-win cooperation with global partners. We empower the global two-wheeler industry with Chinese intelligent manufacturing, boost the development of green travel, and work with all industry peers to drive the future intelligently, link the global market, and jointly create new brilliance for the two-wheeler industry
