    The LEVA EU members captivated international audiences with their pioneering technologies for the global e-mobility sector in Shanghai, China.

    Bafang

    Bafang, with over 20 years of expertise in e-bike drive systems, unveiled a suite of advanced drive solutions tailored to diverse scenarios from urban commuting to extreme off-road adventures.

    Among its highlights was the M560 Heavy-Duty Mountain Drive System, boasting a formidable 140Nm of torque and 750W output, redefining performance standards for mountainous terrain. The H730 Auto-Shifting 3-Speed Hub Motor, integrating Bafang’s proprietary Gear Variable Transmission (GVT) and torque sensor technologies, enables intelligent, seamless gear transitions without manual input. This system simplifies maintenance by eliminating external gear components while optimizing energy efficiency.

    Bafang’s award-winning RG A510.D 5-speed Gear Hub, part of its GVT series, won the 2025 CHINA CYCLE Innovation Award. Designed for challenging environments like snow and sand, the hub withstands 200Nm torque and speeds of up to 60 km/h, thanks to a rigorously tested 5-speed mechanism engineered for high-performance use.

    Meanwhile, Greenway made a powerful statement with its EN50604-certified lithium battery solutions, showcasing a full range of products that meet Europe’s stringent safety standards. From in-tube and externally mounted batteries to range-extending and rear carrier models, Greenway’s offerings are tailored for diverse use cases and engineered with safety as the cornerstone.

    The company’s flagship ZZ-ZZ209 and more accessible models like DZ-ZZ098 and DZ-ZZ027 underwent rigorous durability, shock, and environmental testing. These batteries are built to withstand real-world conditions—from crushing and combustion to extreme temperatures—demonstrating unmatched reliability.

    Notably, Greenway’s NZ533 battery not only achieved EN50604 compliance but also earned UL2271 certification from Underwriters Laboratories, strengthening its competitive edge in the US market. Domestically, its “Gingu Bang” cell-powered solutions—CCC-certified—deliver high efficiency and robust performance across commuting, shared mobility, and off-road use cases.

    Spearheading a new era for the shifting experience, Bafang proudly introduces its innovative Gear Variable Transmission (GVT) technology platform, along with its latest creation based on GVT—the G500A, an internal 5-speed automatic shift hub designed for high-powered eFat bikes. Offering a groundbreaking shift experience for eBikes, G500A is debuting at the 2024 China Cycle Show.

    Breaking Cycling Boundaries with the Revolutionary GVT Technology Platform

    GVT, short for Gear Variable Transmission, represents years of meticulous research and development by Bafang. This technology elevates the eBike shifting experience to a new level with precise automatic shifting mechanisms and advanced transmission control, creating seamless and smooth gear changes that aligns the eBike and rider as one, turning what was once merely a concept into reality. Products featuring GVT technology are belt-drive-friendly and offer a high degree of integration, enabling greater design possibilities. Moreover, GVT significantly reduces common maintenance issues and durability concerns found in existing shift systems, thus extending the overall lifespan of eBikes.

    “Over the past 3 years, we have launched the automatic hub motor and the automatic gear hub series, both of which have received positive feedback from various markets. We are very proud and honored,” said Zou, the chief engineer of the Bafang GVT. “It is this motivation that has led us to decide to give it an official name, to better acquaint everyone with it. Regarding the GVT technology platform, in the future, we will further interpret it through more innovations.”

    The 5-Speed Automatic Gear hub – The Latest GVT Technology

    As the latest innovation on the GVT platform, the G500A is a 5-speed automatic gear hub specifically crafted for high-powered fat-tire eBikes, designed to effectively tackle challenging terrains like snow and sand. G500A can withstand torque ratings of over 200Nm and supports speeds of 45km/h and 60km/h. It is available with 175mm and 190mm dropout options to accommodate most eFat bikes.

    Bafang’s commitment to quality and reliability is reflected in its rigorous testing standards. Each of the five gears in the G500A undergoes at least 10,000 impact tests, ensuring durability and rider confidence.

    On behalf of LEVA-EU and the Collective of European Importers of Electric Bicycles, Annick Roetynck will be attending the China Cycle Show in Shanghai from 6 till 9 May.

    She will present further details on the dumping case in the framework of a meeting that takes place on Monday 7 May from at 12.30 till 2.00 at North Hall Innovation Demonstration Stage. Feel free to attend this meeting if you are at the Show on Monday.

    The visit to the China Cycle Show is aimed at introducing LEVA-EU and the Collective to Chinese exporters. LEVA-AU is looking to build stronger bridges between China and Europe to jointly strengthen the promotion and development of the electric bicycle market in Europe.

    Annick Roetynck will be accompanied by Dennis Hu – ???,a native Chinese currently living in the UK. Dennis Hu has recently been appointed LEVA-EU Board Member and Director of Chinese Affairs. He is familiar with the (electric) bike business, having worked for Dahon in China and for Raleigh in the UK.
