Chongqing Haojue, Chongqing Jianshe, Chongqing Yingang, Chongqing Lifan, etc. Additional information: Haojue: The first motorcycle of Dayangjiang Group rolled off the production line. Haojue is the best-selling motorcycle in China and also the most highly rated by users. Not only domestically, Haojue is also very popular abroad, exported to more than 80 countries and regions worldwide. There are even towns where every household owns a Haojue, earning them nicknames like 'Haojue Village', 'Haojue Township', or 'Haojue County'. Jianshe-Yamaha: A joint venture between Jianshe Industry and Japan's Yamaha, approved by the Chongqing government in November 1992 and officially put into production in 1994.
As a motorcycle enthusiast born and raised in Chongqing, the brands I'm most familiar with are Zongshen, Loncin, Lifan, and Jialing. These are by no means newcomers—they took root in Chongqing as early as the 1980s and 1990s. Back then, with so many mountain roads in Chongqing, motorcycles became the primary mode of transportation, which helped these brands grow rapidly. In my childhood, I often saw Zongshen trikes delivering goods on the streets, while Lifan scooters were all the rage among young people for their stylish designs and affordability. Speaking of changes, under the current eco-friendly trend, these brands are now pushing electric motorcycles. For instance, Lifan's electric models have been selling well, offering quiet and fuel-efficient rides. Chongqing's reputation as the 'Motorcycle Capital' stems from its concentrated industry and transportation demands. However, when choosing a bike, it's wise to consider maintenance convenience—the more local service points, the better.
