On October 27, the Chongqing plant became the focus of hybrid system technology, where Loncin held a grand press conference to unveil its 48V automotive-grade mild hybrid system, which took more than three years to develop. At the same time, they also conducted a comparative test drive, and the first pedal model equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system, the Wuji 150GT, was also unveiled at the scene. This system consists of a rated power of 1The 5kW ISG magneto, 48V lithium battery, and controller convert the starter motor into a booster motor. The test results show that the hybrid motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 60 km h faster by 1In 57 seconds, the acceleration time from 0 to 30 km h is 042 seconds;At 60 kmh, acceleration performance has been improved by 22%-235%;Improved by 24 in terms of over-acceleration performance8%-26%。It can be seen that the advantages brought by the 48V hybrid system are very obvious.

In fact, as early as 2018, Honda launched a hybrid version of the PCX125 Hybrid, which is equipped with an AGC brushless starting auxiliary motor, with a 48V lithium-ion battery, and the electronic control system can provide additional power to the engine according to the throttle angle, engine speed and the power of the lithium-ion battery, which is 33% more torque than the pure gasoline version of the PCX125. In the same year, Yamaha also launched the Grand Filano 125 Hybrid petrol-electric hybrid pedal in Thailand, which can be seen as a hybrid version of the clever in terms of appearance. In addition to the regular hybrid motorcycle, the hybrid version of the car has developed more radically. In 2019, California-based Druid Motorcycles unveiled a staggering 230 hp hybrid version of the Magic XEV, powered by a twin-cylinder petrol engine and a 121PS electric motor, paired with a 14kWh battery, to give it a range of around 193km on a full charge. In addition, after BMW developed the technology for the hybrid model, Kawasaki also filed a new patent application for a hybrid motorcycle. We have noticed that it is not only Loncin that is involved in hybrid technology in China, but also Dayang and Qianjiang.

In 2022, Dayang Motorcycle's ** Carrier 125 ushered in the VI-CORE20 power upgrade across the board. The original engine was a GY6 modification with a power parameter of 66kw/7500rpm、8.8n.m 6500rpm, while the upgraded power parameters are 72kw/7000rpm、10.5n.m/5500rpm。This increase in power is evident. With the continuous development of hybrid technology, the motorcycle industry has gradually entered the hybrid era. Major manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon of technological innovation, racing to introduce more powerful and efficient hybrid systems that deliver a better driving experience for riders. The introduction of hybrid motorcycles not only improves the dynamic performance of the vehicle, but also makes a positive contribution to environmentally friendly travel. This technological innovation has not only been loved by consumers, but also brought new development opportunities to the entire industry. In this context, Loncin launched the 48V automotive-grade mild hybrid system and Dayang Motorcycle's VI-CORE20 power upgrade is undoubtedly a major event in the industry.

These new technological achievements not only break through the performance limits of traditional motorcycles, but also bring new development directions to the motorcycle market. In the future, we have reason to expect that as more manufacturers join the research and development of hybrid technology, the performance and cost performance of hybrid motorcycles will continue to improve, bringing more choices to riders. This will also help the entire motorcycle industry to move towards a more environmentally friendly and efficient direction, bringing more new possibilities to the global mobility market. In 2021, at the Milan Motor Show, Maverick Motorcycle released a hybrid concept model that has attracted much attention - YQI. The car is equipped with a 150cc liquid-cooled engine and a 2400w mid-mounted electric motor, and in a 150cc configuration, it is said to be capable of achieving the experience of a 250cc motorcycle. This move has sparked attention and discussion about hybrid motorcycles. In addition to Mavericks, traditional fuel motorcycle companies have also begun to develop hybrid motorcycles to open up new markets and meet environmental protection requirements. The emergence of hybrid motorcycles is not unexpected, and it combines the advantages of electric and conventional motorcycles, taking advantage of the advantages of electric technology while avoiding the disadvantages of insufficient engine technology.

Domestic fuel motorcycle companies are also actively designing hybrid motorcycles, the main purpose is to increase the starting torque, exceed the torque, increase the power, and reduce fuel consumption, so as to improve the riding experience and meet the requirements of environmental protection. Hybrid technology is a rare opportunity for domestic motorcycles, because there is a large gap between domestic motorcycles and Japanese motorcycles in terms of reliability, durability and economy, and the core reason is the lag of engine technology. The breakthrough cycle of engine technology is long, and it is difficult to catch up in a short time, so hybrid technology has become the development direction of the motorcycle industry. The advantage of a hybrid motorcycle is that it can greatly increase torque, increase power, and exhibit the characteristics of fast starting, fast acceleration, and powerful climbing. These advantages are especially evident in the small displacement hybrid motorcycle, so that the 150 hybrid motorcycle can achieve the effect of 250 in terms of experience, and at the same time can meet the environmental requirements. The domestic automotive hybrid technology has come to the forefront of the world, and it is not too late for domestic motorcycle companies to start now. The migration of advanced automotive hybrid technology to motorcycles may make up for the shortcomings of domestic car companies in mechanical design, especially in engine, gearbox, etc., and the lack of technology manufacturing level.

It is possible to upgrade the motorcycle industry with hybrid technology and enter the first camp of the world motorcycle market. In general, the emergence of hybrid motorcycles has injected new vitality into the motorcycle industry, not only meeting environmental protection requirements, but also improving the riding experience and showing potential market prospects. Major manufacturers are also actively investing in R&D, hoping to change the existing market landscape by introducing hybrid technology. All this indicates that the motorcycle industry is about to usher in a revolutionary change, and this change will not only affect the domestic market, but also have a profound impact on the international motorcycle market. In the context of this new era, the motorcycle industry will surely radiate new vitality and vitality.
