Revealing the new forces of two-wheeled vehicles: Skymotor redefines intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicles

Featured Developments

2025-09-01

Ten years ago, China's new energy vehicles were still in an embarrassing stage. Under the subsidy, the market seems to be prosperous for a while, but in fact it is extremely chaotic: a large number of oil-to-electricity products are pouring in, with short battery life, difficult charging, poor experience, and even frequent safety hazards. There are almost no models that can really win word of mouth.


At that time, it may be difficult for people to imagine that new energy vehicles have become the mainstream on the road, and their sales have accounted for half of the total car sales.


The turning point came around 2015. In 2014 alone, the state intensively introduced 16 new energy vehicle-related policies: not only support for exemption from purchase tax for eligible new energy models, but also unified specifications for the construction of charging facilities and technical standards. Under the support and constraints of policies, an originally fragmented and chaotic market has begun to mature.


During the same period, new forces such as NIO, Xiaopeng, and Ideal emerged one after another. They are no longer satisfied with electrification within the framework of fuel vehicles, but rewrite industry rules in terms of architecture, intelligence and user relationships.


Looking back today, those game-breakers have promoted the penetration rate of new energy vehicles to jump from single digits to more than 40%, making new energy vehicles a new business card made in China to the world.


At the moment, the electric two-wheeler industry is at a similar moment. China is the world's largest market for electric two-wheelers, with more than 400 million units and annual sales of more than 50 million units, but for a long time, its image has remained as a "commuting tool within 3 kilometers".


Now, the first force of change has emerged: on September 1, 2025, the new national standard will be fully implemented, which means that the urban slow travel system will gradually improve, and green travel will change from a slogan to a necessity for urban operation.


In such a window period, the Skymotor, which was established in March 2025, chose to enter the market with technology and became another force driving changes in the industry.



In this huge market with more than 400 million vehicles, the entry of the Skymotor is like an adventure and an inevitability. The risk lies in the fact that it has almost no lessons from the past, but must be in the fact that at every industrial turn, a group of latecomers are always needed to take on the role of defining the future.


New national standard and new era - electric two-wheelers ushered in a historical inflection point


The development history of electric two-wheelers itself is the epitome of China's urbanization: it sprouted in the 90s, popularized in rural areas after 2000, and around 2017, calves with certain intelligent capabilities appeared. For a long time, the identity of electric two-wheelers has always been "usable", solving people's most realistic pain points - urban congestion, travel costs, and convenient commuting.


In the past few years, the homogenization of the market has also further solidified this impression: although some higher-priced "smart electric vehicles" have appeared, the exterior design is not much different, and the smart function is often only APP unlocking or remote control of the car.


Today, although the market size is huge, it is restless and scattered, and lacks real brand and category breakthroughs. This state is exactly the same as the situation of new energy vehicles around 2014: the penetration rate is limited, and users lack trust in the new species. The industry is waiting for a turning point.


This turning point is September 1, 2025. From this day on, the new national standard will be mandatory nationwide. Its significance to electric two-wheelers is what it means to the automobile industry that the "double points policy" was to the automobile industry - not only a constraint, but also a backward force.


The new national standard puts forward higher requirements for the industry:


  • Safety: battery fire prevention and explosion-proof standards have been comprehensively improved, and frame strength and electronic control stability have been included in the compulsory test;
  • Braking performance: new wetlands, emergency braking and other items require the vehicle to remain stable in complex road conditions;
  • Intelligence: The vehicle must have basic condition monitoring and early warning functions to prevent sudden failures from evolving into safety accidents.



These requirements will reconstruct the industry logic.


First of all, electric two-wheelers are no longer just about running. In the past, low price and transportation were the core competitive logic of electric two-wheelers, and safety, comfort and intelligence were often ignored. The new national standard incorporates battery safety, braking performance, and intelligent monitoring into hard thresholds, which can force the industry to enter a new stage of standardized upgrading from extensive growth.


Second, it means a massive reshuffle. For leading enterprises, the ability to meet the new national standard itself is a competitive barrier, and the low-price and low-standard model on which small and medium-sized manufacturers rely will be unsustainable. It is expected that in the next two years, more than 100 million replacement demand will be released, and a market redistribution is about to begin.


For users, the new national standard will directly improve the travel experience: risks such as spontaneous battery combustion and brake failure are compressed to the minimum, the assessment of wetlands and emergency braking brings the vehicle closer to automotive-grade safety standards, and condition monitoring and early warning allow risks to be discovered and stopped in the bud. Electric two-wheelers bid farewell to the era of "low-threshold consumer goods" and evolved into "durable consumer goods".


What's more, this could lead to true intelligence. Previously, most of the so-called "intelligence" stayed in shallow applications such as APP unlocking and NFC keys, but now the new national standard requires that all models must have basic intelligent functions. This makes intelligence no longer a differentiated selling point of individual "stack hardware" manufacturers, but has become the standard configuration of the industry.


From a more macro perspective, the new national standard resonates with the "dual carbon" strategy and smart city construction at the same frequency. Electric two-wheelers will be included in the green travel system and become an important part of urban governance and carbon emission reduction.


In this upcoming industry tide, the head brand must change and lead.


The rise of new forces - the Skymotor reconstructs the price of two-wheeled vehicles with innovative technology


At a time when the price war is intensifying and the head manufacturers are still waiting and seeing, Shou Drive Technology has chosen the All in new national standard model. This seemingly niche choice actually reveals an unusual insight: when everyone sees something as an opportunity, it is often no longer an opportunity.


In the past few years, a large number of manufacturers have relied on low prices to seize the market, and the product functions have been seriously homogenized, and innovation has stayed more at the level of appearance and minor repairs. The price war makes the industry seem to be prosperous, but in fact it is trapped in involution. The Skymotor did not choose to follow, but invested all its resources in the research and development and mass production of new national standard models.


The Skymotor did not set the goal of building an electric vehicle with a longer range or cheaper price, but put forward the concept of "intelligent electric vehicle", aiming at young groups such as the post-00s and post-05s who pursue more scientific and technological experience. Skymotor hopes that two-wheeled vehicles are not only a means of transportation, but also an intelligent partner with perception, prediction and interaction capabilities.


At present, the products of Skymotor can be divided into three series: the new national standard electric self-series, pedal series and straddle series, including electric motorcycles, electric bicycles, off-road motorcycles, short-transit travel derivatives and other product tracks. In terms of price, the Skymotor has laid out a full price range of 5,000-15,000 yuan, more than 50,000 yuan, more than 100,000 yuan and even more than 500,000 yuan to meet the needs of different consumer groups.


In terms of technological innovation and breakthroughs, the Skymotor also has similarities with new forces such as NIO and Ideal: it has changed the technical benchmark of the industry by establishing barriers through batteries, electric drive systems and intelligent operating platforms.


For a long time, electric two-wheelers were considered to have low technical thresholds and limited room for innovation. However, the R&D team of the Skymotor has established its own set of technical barriers in the most sensitive links of users.


The SLP super chassis is a representative of this, which uses aerospace-grade materials and integrated welding process to increase the strength of the frame to 1.5 times the national standard requirements while achieving lightweight. This not only completely breaks the traditional perception of the industry that "light must not be safe", but also provides users with a body architecture with both flexibility and ultra-high structural safety, laying a solid safety foundation for all products.


Another core breakthrough comes from batteries. Batteries are the biggest pain point of electric two-wheelers, and it is almost an industry consensus that low-temperature endurance attenuation, thermal runaway hazards and short lifespan are almost the consensus. The self-developed high-pressure liquid-cooled battery platform of the Skymotor with sodium-lithium dual-mode battery can still maintain an endurance level of 85% at a low temperature of -20°C, far exceeding the industry average; At the same time, through fine control of the temperature field, the battery life can be extended by 5 years, allowing users to truly achieve reliable travel in all climates and scenarios.



In addition to the frame and battery, the first wheel drive has also made breakthroughs in comfort and intelligence. Traditional two-wheeler suspension often behaves unbalanced in complex road conditions, either too hard and causing bumps, or too soft and lacking stability. The adaptive electronic suspension system of the Skymotor collects road information in real time through sensors, and the control unit dynamically adjusts the shock absorption parameters, so that comfort and handling are unified on the two-wheeler for the first time. The "cycling brain system" developed in cooperation with robotics companies has pushed intelligence to a new level. It not only optimizes motor output through algorithms to reduce power consumption by 18%, but also avoids congestion in advance and dynamically plans routes. For users, this means that electric vehicles are no longer passive machines, but have a "cycling partner" that actively judges road conditions.


Not only that, the R&D system of Skymotor in the fields of intelligent cockpit, intelligent power system and intelligent chassis is still deepening to build future-oriented technical reserves.


The reason why such an innovative technological breakthrough can be achieved stems from the team strength of the Skymotor. More than 70% of the professional R&D team members of Skymotor have worked in international leading OEMs, the automotive industry, the two-wheel industry and other core system suppliers in the parts industry.


Dr. Zhang Ying, the technical lead, holds a Ph.D. in physics from Carnegie Mellon University and holds two master's degrees in machine learning and chemical engineering. He has successively held core R&D positions in well-known car companies such as Toyota North American Research Institute, NIO, and Zeekr Automobile, and has led a number of breakthrough projects in battery life prediction, electric drive system modeling, and electric vehicle safety warning. This team not only understands technology, but also knows how to combine engineering experience in the automotive field with the needs of two-wheeled travel scenarios.


The essence of the new force is to redefine the boundaries of products in all in. This is exactly what the Skymotor is doing. It wants to prove that electric two-wheelers can fully meet automotive-grade safety and intelligence standards, and at the same time open a new era with a new consumer experience and industrial ecology.


In the story of new energy vehicles, new forces have made the world re-understand "cars"; In the story of electric two-wheelers, Skymotor is reconstructing the imagination of two-wheelers with innovative technology: it is not only a means of transportation, but also a "riding partner" that integrates high-safety architecture, long-term energy systems and active intelligent technology. On top of two-wheelers, there is also a new future of mobility.


China's Skymotor is also the world's Skymotor


Electric two-wheelers are a huge market. According to the data, as of the end of December 2024, the number of electric two-wheelers in China has exceeded 400 million, with annual sales exceeding 50 million units and a market size of 100 billion yuan. With the replacement of stock driven by the new national standard policy and the rapid growth of demand in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia and India, the industry will continue to expand steadily in the next five years, and it is expected that by 2027, the global market size is expected to exceed 800 billion yuan.


In the current industry pattern, Yadea and Emma are to electric two-wheelers, just as Volkswagen and Toyota are to fuel vehicles - they are representatives of scale and channels, the cornerstone of the industry's stability, and the epitome of traditional logic. The characters such as Maverick and No. 9 are closer to Wei Xiaoli and are the first generation of new forces, injecting new imagination into the industry with their sense of design and intelligent exploration.


The emergence of the Skymotor points to another role - the definer. Skymotor set its sights on the world from the beginning and firmly implemented the strategy of global branding. Although it has not been established for a long time, the R&D and supply chain system of Skymotor has covered more than 200 top international partners, and the design language and brand positioning are also benchmarking against international high-end travel brands.



Perhaps the emergence of the first wheel drive is to give Chinese two-wheeler brands the confidence to compete with the world's high-end players for the first time.


This posture is highly consistent with the national strategy. Carbon neutrality goals, green travel strategies, and smart city construction are becoming the core propositions of China's urban governance in the future. As one of the most popular means of transportation, electric two-wheelers are naturally the key carrier of this strategy. What the Skymotor needs to do is to redefine this most everyday travel tool, so that it can not only meet the needs of efficient commuting, but also become a symbol of a green lifestyle.


If new energy vehicles have become a new business card of Made in China to go global, then the Skymotor is trying to replicate this miracle on the two-wheeled travel track. Its mission is to let the world re-understand electric two-wheelers, upgrade "Made in China" to "global definition", and finally let China give birth to a brand that is admired by the world on two-wheelers.


At this moment, it is the beginning.
