Inventory of Six Major Domestic Motor Brands
The electric bicycle market is getting more and more attention, and many domestic motor manufacturers have also joined the market competition.
Among them, there are large-scale"old stores" and new talents who choose e-bikes for the first time. Some brands have established a firm foothold on the international stage, while others focus on the domestic market, and their strength is not inferior to international brands.
This article focuses on domestic motor products. The ranking is in no particular order, if there are any omissions, please comment and correct them.
Brand: BAFANG Established:2003
BAFANG, a leading manufacturer of e-mobility components and complete systems, sells its products in Europe, China, and the United States. Thanks to its expertise in the production of systems for e-bikes and electric scooters, the company’s products are well-received in those markets.
At present, Bafang's motor products include the eMTB mountain bike system, eCity, eRoad, eCargo, eTour, etc. Among them, the mid-motor series mainly include M420, M500, and M600 mainly used in mountains or cities, and M800 mainly used on roads; This year, Bafang has updated and iterated on the above series and launched H700, M510, and M410 systems.

Brand: NECO Established:1986
NECO Technology Industry Co. Ltd., Professional Bike Parts Manufacturers, founded in 1986 in Taichung, Taiwan, has been at the forefront of machinery tooling design and development. Having acquired more than 30 years of experience in the cycling field. It also conducts research and development of electric bicycle pedals and motors, and the current motor product line is located in Shanghai.
The mid-drive motor constantly samples relevant information at a frequency of up to 80K Hz via a torque sensor and two-speed sensors which are all highly sensitive. The resulting data on crank torque, vehicle speed, and the speed of rotation of the pedals is made available to the controller, ensuring precise control of the vehicle while achieving the highest possible efficiency. The Max Drive System puts the rider in complete control. In spite of generous power output and a maximum torque of more than 100 N.m, the motor operates in virtual silence. The modular motor design and integrated controller make disassembly easier and improve service responsiveness. This motor can be black or silver.

Brand: LINGBEI Established: 2016
LINGBEI Motor Technology was established in Shanghai in 2016. Its main product is a mid-drive motor, which is divided into C600, C800, and other models. The product weighs 3.8kg, provides 250-500W power, and has a maximum torque of 80Nm. It is equipped with a 42t crankset and a 170mm crank. , kits and batteries are sold separately, but brand positioning is limited by road bikes. The complete set of products includes speed sensors, torque motors, torque sensors, kettle batteries, and LCD meters; among them, the LED meters are mainly used for simple display of speed, mileage, gear, and power. In addition, the motor also has a certain waterproof function and also has a certain ability to cope with steep slopes.
According to market data, the motor drive capability of this product is relatively strong, but its own ecology in terms of intelligence has not yet been formed.
Brand: TTIUM Established: 2016
TITIUM was established in 2016, and its product line includes three major parts: batteries, motors, and bike computers. There are four major motors: Smooth, Smooth Plus, Discovery, and Discovery S. The first two are mainly used for commuting and leisure, and the latter two can also be used for heavy-duty, off-load, and Fatbike.
These four motors are all mid-drive motors, which are suitable for the square hole center shaft. The main performance differences are power, torque, and maximum supported cadence. At the same time, there are also certain differences in weight. The power of Discovery S is 350W/48V, the maximum torque is 100Nm, the maximum cadence is 120rpm and the weight is 3.6kg.
Smooth, with the lowest data value, has a rated power of 250W/36V and a maximum cadence of 100rpm. The motor is equipped with an integrated control system, which can generate auxiliary feedback according to the strength of the rider. One of the company's main selling points is the fast feedback of ten milliseconds, which can quickly adjust the output according to the feedback.
The tests show that the TTIUM Motinova motor has less noise and less vibration in the actual test. The riding experience in this respect is better than that of BAFANG and Shimano's products of the same grade, which may be one of the factors as a purchase consideration.
