MoreBikes caught up with Electric drive systems pioneers T&D in 2023 at Motorcycle Live and were impressed with their innovations. They’ve now been showcasing their most diverse range of sample electric motorcycles to date, in Shanghai at the 2024 edition of China Cycle.

T&D is presenting six complete sample electric motorcycles at its booth at China Cycle, which is taking place in the Shanghai New International Expo Center until close of play May 8th. The models on show feature five distinct, complete powertrains across three different motorcycle categories – off-road, city and touring. This show often represents a chance for keen industry eyes to pick up on emerging products and trends, and with this being the most complete range of T&D-equipped cycles to be exhibited to date, visitors to China Cycle have the honour of being first to see a wide range of models powered by T&D at a trade show in Asia.

Each of the motorcycles on show features a combination of T&D-engineered components which together form an efficient and harmonious powertrain: motors, batteries, controllers, HMIs, VCUs, charging units and connectors, DCDC converters and cable harnesses are all developed by T&D. Each combination is tailored to a specific usage scenario, ensuring optimum performance for riders, and a smooth development process for product designers in the electric motorcycle industry.
