The first generation Jialing 70 motorcycle was produced in 1983. Here are specific details about Jialing motorcycles: Definition: Jialing motorcycle is a brand under China Jialing Industrial Co., Ltd. On October 21, 1978, Jialing Group accepted the motorcycle development task assigned by Sichuan Province. In August, implementing the national policy of "combining military and civilian production," Jialing Group made the major decision to develop and produce civilian motorcycles. Development: Jialing motorcycles and their engines currently have over 10 displacement types ranging from 50CC to 600CC, with hundreds of models. The cumulative production and sales have exceeded 13 million units, making it the brand with the highest production and sales volume in China. The company has now established an annual production capacity of 2 million units.
I remember that old Jialing 70, which was probably launched around 1983. I saved up to buy it when I was young, and riding it to deliver goods in the countryside was exhilarating. The 70cc engine provided stable power, effortlessly handling hill climbs and cargo loads, while a full tank could cover dozens of kilometers—economical and practical. The spacious rear seat often helped neighbors with farm work, and everyone praised its durability, lasting over a decade without major repairs. Looking back now, it sparked the motorcycle revolution, becoming a lifeline for people in small towns. Though today's models are sleeker, the old Jialing’s simple, reliable design taught me self-reliance. It wasn’t just a tool but a proud emblem of that era.
