CFMOTO Won Two Awards in MOTO3

On June 22, 2025, the MotoGP Italy race kicked off at the Mugello circuit, known as the "Sacred Land of Speed". In the fierce competition at the Moto3 level, the CFMOTO Aspar team ushered in a highlight moment-Spanish rising star Martínez Quiles staged a thrilling "photo finish line" and won the first Moto3 championship in his career with a slight advantage; Italian local hero Dennis Foggia also lived up to expectations and took the stage strongly, winning the third place. The CFMOTO team shocked the audience with a double podium result! Quiles showed amazing breakthrough ability in this race-despite starting from the seventh row, he relied on his sharp pace and firm sense of rhythm to force his way into the leading group within a few laps. In the fierce battle on the last lap, the top three drivers were entangled in a stalemate, and the victory or defeat was hanging by a hair’s breadth. Quiles decisively pulled out the ideal line when entering the corner, completed the key overtaking before the finish line, and defeated the others with a slight difference of 0.006 seconds, and successfully won the championship!

At the same time, Foggia's performance was also remarkable. As an Italian rider, he once took the lead in breaking through in the final stage, and joined hands with Quiles and Carpe to start the final fierce battle. Although he finally finished third with a difference of only 0.066 seconds, he returned to the Moto3 podium for the first time since 2022, giving a perfect answer to the hometown audience, and also helped the CFMOTO Aspar team to sweep the double podium, once again refreshing the best record of the season.

The victory in Mugello is not only the best proof of the strength of CFMOTO riders, but also demonstrates the brand’s overall leadership in racing technology, team operations and young rider training. Through this wonderful "double podium" record, the CFMOTO Aspar team further consolidated its leading position in the Moto3 lightweight event. As the season progresses, CFMOTO is continuing to write a world-class chapter of glory for China’s high-performance motorcycle brand with a surging momentum. Read the full article

In the fierce competition of the 2025 WSBK Misano World Circuit in Italy, the Chinese motorcycle brand QJMOTOR once again shone on the international stage! Its driver No. 66, Niki, drove the SRK 800RR racing car and outperformed all the competitors in the highly competitive WorldSSP Challenge, winning the championship. This is the second victory for QJMOTOR in this category after its first win at the Cremona circuit in Italy in May, demonstrating its increasingly mature competitive strength.

The WorldSSP Challenge, as a European regional event specifically designed for new manufacturers and emerging teams, although it is a regional category, its technical standards are exactly the same as those of the WorldSSP main track event, and the participating vehicles also compete on the same track as WorldSSP cars. It is no easy feat for QJMOTOR to stand out in such a head-on competition.

It’s worth mentioning that the champion of the challenge race can take the stage along the Victory Avenue with the top three players of WorldSSP to receive the award, enjoying the same honor as the main driver. QJMOTOR’s victory this time not only demonstrates the team’s outstanding teamwork ability, but also highlights the strong competitiveness of Chinese-made models.

Yingang Motorcycle Exports Soared 132%, and Launched a New Brand Ural Neo in Cooperation with Ural

Good news from Yingang! From January to May 2025, the total export value of Yingang Motorcycle reached RMB 150 million, a year-on-year increase of 132%. At the same time, Yingang reached a strategic cooperation with the legendary Russian brand Ural (also known as IMZ-Ural). The two parties will jointly launch a new brand Ural Neo. The first cooperative model Neo 500 is scheduled to be officially unveiled in 2026.

Ural is one of the world's most representative three-wheeled motorcycle manufacturers. It has produced more than 3 million vehicles so far, and its sales network covers more than 40 countries around the world. Its classic sidecar motorcycle model Gear Up is priced at up to $19,999. Although it has a unique brand tone and high recognition, its popularity in the mass consumer market is limited. The Neo 500, which was created in cooperation with Yingang, is expected to have a starting price of less than $15,000, which greatly reduces its entry threshold and allows more consumers to experience the unique charm of sidecar motorcycles.

Neo 500 will be redesigned based on Yingang's SUV500 Mk II, removing the adventure elements, strengthening the classic Ural style, and incorporating modern technology. It is revealed that the car will be equipped with a 446cc parallel twin-cylinder engine with a maximum power of about 35 horsepower (about 26 kW) and a 5.3 gallon (about 20 L) fuel tank. The chassis continues to use the front link suspension, and the configuration may include a 7-inch longitudinal TFT instrument and a built-in 1080p driving recorder that is relatively rare in the European and American markets.

Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Chongqing, China, Yingang Group is a national high-tech enterprise integrating the research and development, manufacturing and sales of motorcycles, electric vehicles, engines and mechanical products. In recent years, Yingang has actively expanded its overseas markets, and its export performance has continued to be strong. Its main markets cover Russia, the Philippines, Thailand, Brazil, Colombia and other countries.

The launch of Ural Neo marks the starting point of the modernization and rejuvenation of the Ural brand, and also represents the deep integration of Chinese manufacturing and global classic brands. As the global motorcycle industry moves towards a new stage of intelligence and diversification, this cooperation will not only bring users more cost-effective and design-oriented three-wheel solutions, but also set a new benchmark for international brand cooperation.

This is the third championship won by the KOVE 350RR in the WSBK race after winning the Jerez race in 2024. Fernández also won the fastest lap of the entire stage with a lap time of 1 minute 49 seconds 106, which once again verified the continuous optimization and evolution of the KOVE 350RR in power output, handling performance and reliability.

Haojue GSX500 May be Released at the End of the Year, and the 500cc Twin-cylinder Market Will Welcome a Newcomer

Recently, there has been news online that Haojue will launch a new GSX500 sport racing model at the end of 2025, which has attracted widespread attention from motorcycle enthusiasts and industry insiders. If the rumor is true, this will be Haojue’s second major layout in the field of mid-displacement sports street cars after the GSX250, and it is expected to grab a place in the fiercely competitive 500cc market.

Industry insiders speculate that this model may be related to 500cc platform that Haojue had previously declared. It is equipped with a parallel twin-cylinder water-cooled engine and may use an electronic throttle. The displacement is approximately between 470-500cc. It focuses on medium and high speed power output, with a maximum power of approximately 37-42kW and a torque of 45-50N·m. The overall power level is close to that of the Honda CB500F, and it is positioned to compete with models such as the VOGE RR525 and KOVE 525X.

Haojue’s product planning this time shows a new round of clear strategy: from the entry-level UFR150, retro LUMI125, to the mid-displacement sport racing GSX500 and the genealogical extension of the DL500/TR500/V cylinder series, the pace is orderly. Among them, the GSX500, which is expected to be launched in the forurth quarter of 2025, is a key node. As a potential strategic product of Haojue, whether the GSX500 can find a balance between performance, price and brand appeal will be the key to whether it can stand out in the 500cc market.

This race brought together top MOTO3 riders from all over the world, and they fought fiercely on this highly technical Spanish track. Starting from the third position, Quiles showed a strong rhythm in the early stages of the race and quickly became a leader. Although the competition on the track was extremely fierce and there were several changes of position, Quiles always responded calmly, showing mature competition wisdom and adept control skills.

Entering the last three laps, Quiles once jumped into the lead, but the counterattack from the leading driver was extremely swift. In the offensive and defensive battle at the last corner, he carefully chose to defend his position to ensure a safe finish, and finally finished second with a slight gap of 0.050 seconds.

Quiles's second award is not only a great step forward for him and his team, but also an encouragement and affirmation for the entire Chinese motorcycle industry. This achievement demonstrates the rise of Chinese racing power in the international arena, and also indicates that Chinese motorcycle sports have made significant progress in competitive level, technology research and development, and team management. This honor will undoubtedly inspire more local riders to join the motorcycle sport, promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and promote the further popularization and internationalization of Chinese motorcycle culture.

Why So Many Start-up Brands in the E-vehicle Market?

In 2025, China's electric two-wheeled vehicle market ushered in an unprecedented wave of start-up brands. From Internet cross-border players to traditional industry chain transformers, to innovative teams focusing on niche markets, why are these new forces emerging in such a concentrated manner? The driving force behind this is not only the expansion of market capacity, but also an industrial transformation jointly driven by policies, technology, consumer demand and capital. Market Potential: Trillion-dollar Blue Ocean and New National Standard Dividends The annual sales volume of China's electric two-wheeled vehicle market has reached nearly 50 million, with a stock of over 400 million. The implementation of the new national standard "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specification GB 17761-2024)" in 2025 has accelerated the reshuffle of the industry. Traditional lead-acid battery models are facing elimination, and the demand for lithium battery replacement has exploded. It is predicted that the market size will exceed 150 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to reach 500 billion yuan in 2030, with an average annual compound growth rate of more than 15%. The huge demand for stock replacement, coupled with the incremental space of new scenarios such as shared travel and food delivery logistics, provides a window period for start-up brands to enter the market.

In addition, policy dividends continue to be released. The government has reduced consumers' car purchase costs and usage thresholds through "old for new" subsidies, tax exemptions and charging infrastructure investment. For example, the national subsidy policy after deepening in 2025 directly drives the penetration rate of mid-to-high-end models, and under the goal of "carbon neutrality", electric two-wheeled vehicles, as the core carrier of low-carbon transportation, have received more policy support. Consumption Upgrade: Young People Reshape Demand Logic The rise of young people in new-tier cities is rewriting the rules of the market. Their demand for electric two-wheelers has been upgraded from “a means of transportation” to “a personalized travel solution.” Data shows that the sales of mid-to-high-end models above 3,000 yuan have increased significantly, and functions such as smart navigation, keyless start, and NFC unlocking have become standard.

At the same time, the needs of B-end users such as food delivery riders have given rise to segmented tracks. Riders ride more than 300 kilometers a day on average, and their rigid demands for battery life, safety, and fast battery replacement are not fully met by traditional brands. Startup brands such as HARLEY-DAVIDSON target this group and launch special models equipped with active braking and long-range batteries to fill the market gap. Technological Revolution: Lowering of Barriers and Opportunities for Differentiation Breakthroughs in lithium battery technology are the core driver of the rise of start-up brands. In 2025, the energy density of lithium iron phosphate batteries was increased to 150Wh/kg, the range exceeded 100 kilometers, and the cost was reduced by 30% compared with three years ago. Upstream companies such as BYD have opened up automotive-grade battery technology, enabling start-up brands to obtain high-performance supply chain resources at a lower cost. In addition, the modularization and popularization of intelligent technologies (such as BMS battery management systems and Internet of Things modules) allow small and medium-sized brands to achieve product innovation without investing heavily in research and development.

The maturity of lightweight materials (such as carbon fiber and aluminum alloy) and flexible manufacturing technologies has further lowered the production threshold. Start-ups can quickly launch differentiated products through the OEM model, such as lightweight models designed for women, or cargo-carrying electric tricycles for the rural market. Industry Pain Points: The “Gap Market” Left by Traditional Giants Although the leading traditional electric two-wheel brands occupy more than 60% of the market share, a considerable number of brands have serious product homogeneity, which makes it difficult to cover long-tail demand, and they rely on channels and price wars, while lagging behind in innovation in areas such as smart interaction. Startup brands rely on flexible mechanisms to quickly respond to market demand and find their own incremental space in market gaps. Capital Catalysis: Resonance between Industrial Chain and Traffic Dividend The investment and financing scale of the electric two-wheeled vehicle industry is expected to reach 30 billion yuan in 2025, and capital will flow intensively into the fields of technological innovation and model innovation. Internet platforms (such as Kuaishou and Didi) have reduced the cost of acquiring new brands through traffic support and digital marketing. For example, in Kuaishou’s local life channel, start-up brands achieved a 287% month-on-month GMV growth rate through short videos and live broadcasts, quickly establishing brand awareness. At the same time, the rise of the sharing economy and battery swap model has also provided start-up with the possibility of light asset operation.

The electric two-wheeled vehicle market in 2025 has shifted from “manufacturing-driven” to “demand+ technology-driven”. The explosion of start-up brands is not accidental, but the result of the combined effects of policy dividends, consumption upgrades, technological equality and capital boost. In the future, the industry will present a pattern of “head concentration and long tail coexistence”. Traditional giants rely on scale to consolidate their base, while start-up brands build moats in the market segments through precise positioning and rapid iteration.
