Motorcycles from China: There they are

The article discusses the growing presence of Chinese motorcycle manufacturers in the German market, which has traditionally been seen as highly selective and brand-conscious. Despite initial skepticism about their ability to compete in a sector where heritage and tradition hold significant value, Chinese brands like CF Moto are gaining traction due to their competitive pricing, good equipment, and reliable products. In the first half of 2026, CF Moto has secured a 5% market share and placed seventh, just shy of entering the top five. The article notes that Chinese manufacturers are not only competing in lower-end models but also achieving success in higher categories, such as 800cc and above motorcycles. At the Eicma motorcycle show in Milan, Chinese brands made notable appearances, signaling continued growth. Other Chinese brands like Voge, QJ, and Zontes are also making waves in various segments, including electric scooters.
